Bernard Kerik withdraws from nomination per FOX
We are a free country, he ain't in the military. he can quit.
GooD Riddance
Ehhh...well...maybe...I just...I mean...at this point, it's gotta be someone who's unimpeachable. I mean, I totally believe that these guy's would destroy Lieberman if they thought they could. Yeah? It's not like the seat's in play. It's not like it's suddenly going be to be a red state. So, hey, let's give Lieberman to the slaughter. One of the few democrats most of us can agree we like, might as well get rid of him if you're, you know, Mr. Dean (YEEEEHAAA!).
I'd go for Ollie North for the position. But like that's gonna happen. It's fun to dream, anyway.
Thats all true, but it doesn't mean that his critics within the department were wrong.
I don't think it would happen either .. but we could have fun playing with the lefties heads :0)
They dropped Berger as a Kerry advisor..The Senate confirmation process would have been been a doozy if he had been nominated.
Ya know, alot of us prayed for Bush to have 4 more years for the good of America and God heard and answered. I for one, just want what's absolutely best for our country - we can't always see it, but God can. I pray for the best man for the job to get the job.
I would bet that the majority of moderate to well-to-do New Yorkers have hired illegal immigrants at one time or another.
This only goes to show how ridiculous the status quo is. Either stop this illegal invasion or open the borders. This is a farce.
It's simple. The guy is too slimy to be confirmed, all parties
realize this fact, it's Friday night, great time to solve this little problem.
Nobody is that clean naturally.
This guy had a rough past and achieved great things with it. I doubt he never bent a few rules or climbed over a few backs to do it.
But, that is probably the kind of person we need at this time, and we will never get one.
who said he hid it. He likely got the paperwork required to clear the confirmation, something about this appeared, he asked his wife "what do we know about the nanny"? and then when he couldn't fill out the application honestly, he withdrew.
I'm not buying the nannygate excuse either. It could be something much worse. I thought the guy was great but not great enough to be in the cabinet. Going from police commissioner to cabinet secretary seems a pretty big leap to me. Kind of like promoting a colonel to chief of staff.
What did we really know about Bernard Kerik prior to 9/11?
Ditto!
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie! LOL, I only wish.
I'm not through this entire thread but why do we need a guy like this in that job? I love his personal story and was thrilled that he was nominated. Then I read about personal bankruptcy, abandoned children (though he did want and is apparently making that right), questionable uses of authority in previous positions, the millions of dollars made and now maybe hiring illegals? It seems every stop of his career includes some pretty serious charges, we don't need that.
Either Zell or Ollie would be great!
