indeed, and what that means is that no person with any real life experiences can hold these positions. so we get empty suits. that's what destroyed the CIA - Ivy League empty suits.

It's frightening to think that Reno was the most ethical and honest person that Klintoon could find to be Attorney General, I believe Reno was the third choice.

"Isn't this the tortured path that led to Janet Reno being AG?"

Yes it certainly is. And it was an affront to aesthetics amoung other things.

I am going to lay down like a big animal with a big arm over my cutie little woman. She likes not having to cook either:

I hope that the nanny left a forwarding address so that President Bush can send her a thank-you note...she may have saved him greater embarrassment (if Kerik had gone through the confirmation process).

I have a hunch that there is more to the story and this may have just been the most convenient out.

Freepers, please answer a question. Why does anyone need a nanny?

The rich get richer by hiring illegals for a song....

Absolutely. It doesn't get any clearer than this about why the power elite love illegal aliens.

This is disgusting.

'Oh my goodness, I just forgot that this nannie that I forgot to pay properly might be here illegally...'

Do none of these people feel they should obey the law???

Dang!

I for one do not yet know if Mr. Kerik lied. How is it that everyone on this thread seems to know it?

I heard things that leave me open-minded to the facts, whatever they turn out to be. I heard she had phony but convincing documents of her status. I heard his wife hired her when he was in Iraq training the police force. If any of that is true, then I don't conclude that he lied, but that at a minimum he and his vetters failed to do a decent job in nailing down any possible problem.
If it is proven to me that he lied, I will accept it but not until. The man risked his life in Iraq trying to help America and the Iraqi people. He did not have to to that. For that alone, he should not be treated like pond scum, in my opinion.

Isn't it supposed to be against the law to hire illegal aliens? Will Kerik be prosecuted for doing so?

No, I thought not.

Character is but one box in the matrix. It is all about how one weights the boxes.

Kerik took himself out. So I doubt it was a matter of convincingly phony documents. It is barely possible that he left it all to his wife, and didn't know what she did, and rather than get into that, is bowing out.

My chances of having a nanny are about as likely as Michael Moore getting down to 185 pounds.

He might get down to 285 :-)

For the life of me, I cannot understand why anyone would turn their kids over to a stranger who cannot even speak English.

Well, we can clearly see why Republican leaders don't want to do anything about illegal immigrants. They employ them.
