WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was hailed as a hero alongside former Mayor Rudy Giuliani after the Sept. 11 terror attacks and nearly became chief of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to four years behind bars Thursday for eight felonies.

Mr. Kerik admitted in November that he lied to the White House, filed false taxes and committed other crimes.

Gee, Kerik, was it worth it?

Instead of “Weekend at Bernies” Benie gets to spend the Obama administration in the can...which doesn’t sound like such a bad deal at the moment.

Goodbye, Kerik. See ya later, jerk.

Guess it would be high risk if they put him in general population? Hummm?

Most likely pretty easy time, the other LEOs will take care of him. Still time in prison though. I guess in this economy 3 squares, a cot, and free medical may not be too bad.

A major reason the Rudy backers were wrong.

He made his move too soon. Had he committed those felonies this year he would fit right in with this administration and been promoted to Home Security head.

Now if only we could shake rudy’s closets.

[darkangel82]

We were proven right yet again to have zotted the Rudybots.

He was wrong and deserves what he got. But you have to ask... why the double standard for Geitner and Rangel?

Heyup.
