Bernard Kerik withdraws from nomination per FOX
Actually, Zoe Baird was chastised over this but Senator Thurmond made it clear he supported her. It wasn't the Republicans that ended her nomination.
If you want to know how I know this,ask my via FREEPmail.

The Public Demands Answers about Police Handling of FTAA Protests --
Miami Police and Chief Timoney on the Hot Seat
Miami - On Thursday, February 5, 2004 the Save Our Civil Liberties Campaign in conjunction with the AFL-CIO, Lake Worth Global Justice, Miami Workers Center and other community groups and individuals, will protest the joint public hearing of the Civilian Investigative Panel (CIP) and the Independent Review Panel (IRP). A colorful and lively demonstration with signs and puppets will take place outside City Hall to protest testimony being given by Police Chief John Timoney. People are also expected to be inside monitoring the hearing.
Thanks for posting his letter.
Bet the DUmmies are in heaven over this.
Well,someone had to disabuse the political naifs here,who are worse than clueless about everything. LOL
Bill Bratton was responsible for all the NYPD initiatives that eventually returned NYC to a sense of normalcy (at least by NYC standards). He is an ambitious man, and he does have a rivalry with Giuliani going back as to who should take credit for NYC's gains in crime reduction. But if you talk to almost any NYPD cop with "time on" they would say that he was the most innovative and popular leader in the past 20 years.
From all that I've heard, read and seen the guy sounds like a winner. Possibly the most creative law enforcement leader in America. But, like I said earlier, I'm sure there are a slew of other qualified candidates from federal and local with whom I'm not familiar.
One word: Damn!
Clinton was able to keep Janet Reno in office after Waco. think about that for a second. think about what happened at Waco, compared to a nanny tax problem. Reno remained in office, sailed through with praise over Waco in fact, but Kerik has to go.
I'm for stopping this illegal invasion.
Moderate to well-to-do New Yorkers can start doing their own work.
Again, hand out the green cards and everybody can have their illegals made right...
Rudy was first, and he didn't want it. So the nom went to Kerik instead. Who's next??
Nobody does it better ;)
Same here MEG33.
Okay Gang.. this is a bit late. I chided this person for their attempt at defining Country Club Republicans and was greeted with a very angry, badly spelled diatribe regarding Bush Sr. and my beloved Ronnie.
I believe this "person" to be a badly educated "troll".. but hey.. you all have probably already decided for yourselves!
Is this true? or just something your putting together? I thought Rudy would make the best choice from the start.
Actually, Clintons wanted Reno first (because she was an empty suit they could push around), nominated two no-go's first and then when she was up the Waco thing had started, Hill and Bill screamed that congress was at fault due to their hasseling all the nominees and she flew through without a looksee... very slick and very Clintonesque.
I'll admit my lack of facts. I based my opinion of Bernard Kerik on what little I learned about him after 9/11, a glossy television biography by Judith Miller on FOX and subsequent interviews with him when he was in Iraq and upon his return. He spoke briefly at a neighborhood "town hall" meeting I attended when I lived in New York and then-Mayor Giuliani answered questions from participants. That was of course prior to 9/11 and more of a local focus, so my impression of him at that time was "Hey, this guy is okay."
