McCain pointed to Kerik's performance in Iraq. "That's why I never would've supported him to be the head of homeland security because of his irresponsible act when he was over in Baghdad to try and help train the police. One of the reasons why we had so much trouble with the initial training of the police was because he came, didn't do anything and then went out to the airport and left."

The frightening thing is that Kerik might surface again. Giuliani is clearly looking for a Cabinet spot---maybe USAG---could mean Kerik surfaces as FBI director.

Now THAT's scary.

I’m convinced there are people in this world who cannot receive joy. They must always find something to bitch about. We’s be lucky to get Rudy to agree to be head of homeland security.

Won’t happen.

Giuliani might turn up in McCain’s administration, but Kerik is toast.

I’m expecting McCain to find a place for Lieberman. It wouldn’t cause me any heartburn.

The scary thing is President Barrack Hussein Obama. If that happens, your concern about Kerik will be eclipsed by much bigger problems.

I will make a bold prediction. When Giuliani is vetted, he will withdraw from his nomination because of all the skeletons in the closet we all uncovered last year. There are far too many connections to criminals to just overlook and make the guy an Attorney General.

You got that right. Man, I'd be surprised if Rooty could pass the physical (snicker).

*** I will make a bold prediction.... There are far too many connections to criminals to just overlook and make the guy an Attorney General. ***

Rooty must be kept OUT of any position of power within the Federal Gubmint and/or any cabinet position.

It's bad enough McCain holds the 1st Amendment in such low regard that we surely don't need that power hungry control freak - who openly ignored the rest of the Bill of Rights as mayor of NYC - anywhere near D.C.

One upside of a RAT controlled senate - Rooty would 'prolly' never get confirmed for anything.

I don't give a (blank) about his rah-tah speech at the convention, he's dangerous.

Seeing that McCain spoke out against Kerick is encouraging.

Rooty's multiple gobal businesses----almost all connected to security---are dependent on his getting his greedy paws on US defense agencies. Read on.

The Washington Post reported that one of his companies, Giuliani Capital Advisors "was sold for an undisclosed amount as Giuliani was preparing his run for president." The Post article also discloses that Giuliani’s secretive lobbying firm, Giuliani Partners, has made more than $100 million over the last five years and that Giulaini's clients "are required to sign confidentiality agreements, so they do not comment about the work they receive or how much they are paying for it.

Though running for president, Giuliani refuses to identify his clients, disclose his compensation, or reveal any details about Giuliani Partners. He also declined to be interviewed about the firm."

The paper provided some details, based "on a review of corporate, government and court records, along with scores of interviews with clients and government officials who have interacted with Giuliani Partners."

ALMATY, Kazakhstan -- LAWFUEL - Law News, US Law Firms -- Bracewell & Giuliani LLP closed three cases in January for a total of US $1.625 billion, acting as international counsel for the offering of corporate debt and solidifying their place as the premier legal authority on Kazakhstani business affairs in the Caspian region. “We continue to thrive and grow in Kazakhstan, mirroring the country itself,” said Greg Vojack, managing partner for the firm's offices in Kazakhstan. “As Kazakhstan transitions into a prosperous free marketplace after the fall of Soviet Russia, its fine-tuned monetary policies are helping the country’s financial sectors grow faster than New York.” ~snip~

Established in 1994, Bracewell's presence in the Republic of Kazakhstan has helped clients capture significant opportunities in the Caspian Region. The firm's energy and finance attorneys provided groundbreaking guidance to create the legal and financial infrastructure in that emerging nation and today actively advise energy and financial companies in the region and the government of Kazakhstan. ~snip~

MORE BACKGROUND Giuliani firm has Venezuela ties

The law firm headlined by presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani does business with a company tied to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush ``the devil.'' Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez. The Bush administration said last year that Venezuela was ''not cooperating fully'' with antiterrorism efforts, stopping one step short of grouping the country with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria and Cuba. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor best known for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, does not personally lobby for Citgo, though he is a senior partner at the firm and shares in its profits.

All this talk about the RNC kicking the RINOS out is funny.

The top speakers were Rudy, Sen. Mel Martinez, Lieberman, Tom Ridge. Lol.

Did Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter even speak at the Convention?
