'AMERICAN HERO' BERNIE CALL$ IN BACKUP
Bernard Kerik's pals are holding a fund-raiser to help keep him out of jail. Attendees will spring for at least $75.......to help defray his legal costs. The Bernard Kerik Legal Defense Fund's attempts to raise money for Mayor Giuliani's former driver and top cop tanked. ".....noone wanted to come. People didn't want to be involved with him anymore. " * Kerik is charged with accepting about $225K in renovations from a company seeking to do business with the city - and didn't report it to the IRS (Kerik pleaded guilty 2006 to misdemeanors from that controversy). * Making false statements to the WH when Kerik was being vetted to head Homeland Security in 2004. Kerik later withdrew from consideration after being pushed by Giuliani. In 2002, Kerik was flush with cash. A Taser International board position reportedly came with $6M stock options, which he cashed in. Kerik then had a lucrative job with Giuliani Partners, and received a six-figure advance for his book. But Kerik has a reputation for spending money as fast as he makes it.

Yeah, I guess stuffing your nose gets to be pretty expensive (snicker).
this is the real reason why rudy couldn’t be allowed to get the nomination.
According to the logic of some here they would argue that Kerik is still a “conservative” just not on crime and justice. For that reason we should support him for office.
Yup---gotta add this to all of Rooty's other negatives.......including using city money to subsidize his then-mistress, which he hid in obscure city agencies to keep it out of public view.
The repugnant sight of Rooty campaigning for McC led to McC's loss, causing lots of Repubs to stay home.
Kerik knows everything about Rooty's sub-rosa activities---if Kerik agreed to tell-all, he might stay out of jail.
Insofar as Kerik lying to the WH--- take a guess who put him up to it? Rooty was obsessed with Kerik getting the Homeland job since Rooty would have had crucial inside info for his global businesses........and for his presidential ambitions.
Solid citizen he is!
Balderdash.......no conservative worth his salt would enage in things Kerik engaged in.
Watta career ladder----Rooty's driver and bodyguard, then NYC top cop........and we almost had him as a WH appointee.
Of all the figgin luck----now he can't even get up the wherewithall to stay out of jail.
ROTFLOL.
Not bolderdash, some here claim a person is still conservative if they hold some conservative values. Say a person holds all conservative views but is pro-death of the unborn? Or they are not fiscal conservatives, some still consider them conservatives.
My point, made tongue in cheek and affirmed by you is that they are NOT conservative.
With McC's decisive, humiliating loss, that kind of stupid, sickening convoluted thinking is OVER.
It was stupidly put forward by stupid RINOS and stupid pukeneos as a stupid takeover strategy----to kick so/cons to the curb, to strangle so/con conservatives out of the party, and to religiously cleanse the Repub party.
The End Game was that RINOS and pukeneos wanted total control of the US gov't apparat.
Stupid losing strategy.
Course, so/cons now have to clean-up the mess these stupid puke-RINOs made.
If you noticed my post didn’t say “conservatives”, it said some here. And in that I am totally correct because the RINO’s do psot here and try to make the arguement the all republicans are conservatives. Which we know they are not. And yes we need to purge the party of all RINO’s.
Which will be difficult if any are in the Senate.
So Liz, we actually both agree completely. So why the ping for reinforcements? They cannot prove I’m incorrect because we agree.
Apparently all the *pukeneos* have disappeared. Yesterday I saw Richard Perle's picture on a Milk Cartoon.
Except for Billy Boy Kristol. He's like a case of Herpes.
Golly, I kept wondering and wondering why anyone in their right mind would want to find a jerk like Perle.
Then it dawned on me----the Dickster probably absconded with a lot of other people's money (all that war profiteering in Iraq really adds up).
Dickie's probably holed up somewhere playing Battleship with Chalabi..........in his bathtub (titter).
I wouldn't doubt it that he sold some of the weapons to Iran that are/were Killing US Military in Iraq. If there's a penny to be made in International Arms Sales that (blank) has his fat fingers in it.
Nothing in US history compares to extorting trillions of US tax dollars, and spilling the blood of young Americans, to pave the way for Perle’s new oil business.
Nothing.
Richard Perle (prince of hawkneos holding The List of countries they want the US to invade) was one of the phony “security experts” who colluded to make the case for the US invasion. It was later found that falsified info was manufactured by neocon Douglas Feith on his home computer a CBS report confirmed. Trillions of US tax dollars pour into the Mideast (and into war profiteers pockets).
According to the Wall Street Journal, Perle is setting himself up in the oil business in Iraq with officials of northern Iraq’s Kurdistan regional government, including its Washington envoy, according to documents WSJ perused. It involves a tract called K18, near the Kurdish city of Erbil.
Aso involves Kazakstan ——where Candidate Ghouliani held a fund-raiser. His Texas law firm has two oiffces there, KAZAKHSTAN is a former Soviet Union state, the only Central Asian country sharing borders with both Russia and China, and with states of nuclear-transit significance........ such as Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
Kazakhstan is in the Strategic Energy Ellipse and is a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization with China and Russia. A focal point of influence between the West and the East. Kazakhstan aims to become the world’s largest producer and exporter of uranium in the next five years.
Oh wait. You didn't hear the news?
Little Bill won an Academy Award ------for putting on a great election night act.
As the returns started coming in on Fox news, Billsy smirked and smirked----and put on his best "I Know Nothing About This Republican Disaster" act.
What a performer.
Let's hope his herpes clears up by the time he goes to pick up his award.
ROFL!
