Manhattan **** Guiliani is stuck with Kerik. Bring him on. Silver Spring, Md.

  Rudy Giuliani laughs off Judith Regan rap BY ADAM NICHOLS DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Thursday, November 15th 2007, 4:00 AM Judith Regan claimed Rudy Giuliani's cronies tried to silence her; now the presidential hopeful wants to sideline her to the gossip columns. The Republican candidate said Wednesday the publishing queen's bombshell $100 million suit was no more than salacious tittle-tattle. "It sounds to me like a kind of gossip column story more than a real story," he said on a campaign stop in Iowa. "The last thing in the world you want to do when you're running for President...

Okay, so I'm not perfect. But I get results. That's the soft-selling pitch of Rudy Giuliani's first presidential TV ad, which will begin airing in New Hampshire Thursday, weeks after some of his Republican rivals hit Granite State airwaves. The 60-second spot dwells on Giuliani's pre-9/11 success in driving down crime and welfare rolls as mayor. But in a veiled nod to 9/11 - as well as, perhaps, his messy personal life - Giuliani argues he has faced countless trials and still gotten results. "I've been tested in a way in which the American people can look to me," Giuliani...

Roger Ailes and Rudolph W. Giuliani have been pulling for each other for nearly two decades. Mr. Ailes was the media consultant to Mr. Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989. Mr. Giuliani, as mayor, officiated at Mr. Ailes’s wedding and intervened on his behalf when Mr. Ailes’s company, Fox News Channel, was blocked from securing a cable station in the city. This year, they were tablemates at the White House correspondents dinner, which Mr. Giuliani attended as a guest of Fox’s parent company, the News Corporation. Now these allies and friends find themselves on largely uncharted political turf. Mr. Giuliani,...

Judith Regan, former book publisher, says a senior News Corporation executive encouraged her to lie to federal investigators about her past affair with Bernard B. Kerik after he had been nominated to become homeland security secretary in late 2004. The lawsuit asserts that the executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik’s mentor, who had appointed him NYC police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post. --SNIP-- “Defendants were well aware that Regan had a personal relationship with Kerik,” the complaint says. “.....a senior News Corporation executive told Regan that he believed she...

It’s hard to find good scapegoats these days. After taking the fall for the O.J. Simpson book deal last year, Judith Regan is back with a $100 million defamation suit against News Corp. In her case, Regan claims that HarperCollins told her to lie about her affair with Bernard K. Kerik, the former New York police commissioner. How Regan and Kerik got together remains a mystery, but conservative America is starting to seem like one big high school. According to the suit, Regan told a company executive in 2001 about her relationship with Kerik, whose memoir she published following the...

NEW YORK -- One-time book publishing powerhouse Judith Regan filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against HarperCollins and News Corp. on Tuesday, saying her former employers tried to destroy her reputation and asked her to lie to federal investigators about Bernard Kerik, the recently indicted former police commissioner with whom she had an affair. Ms. Regan, who worked for HarperCollins Publishers LLC, said the smear campaign stems from her past intimate relationship with Mr. Kerik, who was police commissioner under former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and from the political agenda of News Corp., the parent company of HarperCollins. Ms. Regan, 54,...

Yes Rudy Giuliani has a lot of explaining to do. Imagine, the man who served as his chief of prisons and then police commissioner while Giuliani was mayor of New York City has been indicted. Bernard Kerik, whom President Bush would later nominate for the position of Homeland Security chief based greatly on Giuliani's rave reviews, has been charged with not reporting income, having work done on his home for free and not reporting it, having some one else pay his rent and not reporting it, lying to federal investigators and lying on his federal application for the homeland security...

He was a colorful, star cop who impressed his superiors with his zeal for catching the worst of the worst - murderous drug dealers - and he did much to lower crime in the city. His rise was meteoric, his crash just as swift as he faced indictment on federal charges. We're not talking about Bernard Kerik here, but Dennis Sindone. He spent most of his career in the Bronx and was promoted to deputy inspector by Kerik because of his stellar performance, even being singled out for praise by the then-police commissioner at a promotion ceremony. Weeks after those...

WASHINGTON — Mayor Giuliani's hold on the front-runner's perch in the Republican presidential nomination is eroding, with two new polls showing that Mitt Romney is opening up a widening lead in New Hampshire, site of the first primary. While Mr. Giuliani has maintained his lead in national polls and in several state surveys, the former Massachusetts governor is now comfortably ahead in both Iowa and New Hampshire, two hotly contested early-voting states that have traditionally played a crucial role in determining the Republican nominee. Mr. Romney opened up a 12-point lead over Mr. Giuliani in New Hampshire, 32% to 20%,...

Bernard Kerik's indictment on federal corruption charges last week left unanswered a nagging question from longtime Kerik-watchers: What, exactly, became of hundreds of thousands of dollars from a city-created foundation, of which Kerik - Rudy Giuliani's friend, protege and appointee - was listed as president in the days when he ran the city jails? The answer could be explosive. Or it could be innocuous. The point is that we still do not know. In 2004, a former deputy commissioner, Fred Patrick, was sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to defrauding the foundation of more than $137,000 - purportedly for...

When Giuliani walked out of City Hall six years ago, he had $2M in the bank.....Then came book deals, speaking tours and partnership at a powerful Washington lobbying house. None would prove more lucrative than the small consulting firm Giuliani and his most trusted aides founded in 2002 in an angular glass tower at 5 Times Square. Since 2002, Giuliani Partners has formed several subsidiaries--Giuliani Capital Advisors - an investment since sold - Giuliani Compliance Japan and security companies called Giuliani-Kerik and Giuliani Security & Safety........ By the time Giuliani declared for president last spring, his firm grossed an estimated...

The reported indictment of Rudy Giuliani's high-profile former police commissioner sets in motion a new and challenging phase for the presidential campaign of the former New York mayor. Scott Reed, a veteran Republican strategist who managed Bob Dole's presidential campaign in 1996, said the expected charges against Bernard Kerik - CNN, ABC, and the Associated Press reported last night that the indictment would be unsealed today - "raises a new round of questions about judgment, it will cause opposition researchers to dig in and find out if there are any other Bernie Keriks, and it will throw the campaign off...

Bernard Kerik lied, schemed and sold out the city - all under the nose of his mentor and pal, presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani. That is the stark portrait painted in the 16-count indictment unsealed yesterday in White Plains Federal Court almost exactly one year before Election Day 2008. While the political fallout remains uncertain, the effect on Kerik's image as a Sept. 11 hero is devastating. In meticulous detail, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia assembled count after count painting Kerik as a money-grubbing liar who tried to cover his tracks. The indictment says the misdeeds took place as Giuliani promoted...

Another report said that after Kerik's indictment Rudy disappeared from site. Rudy's close association with criminal types like Kerik is a problem for his candidacy.

Opponents Let Loose On Former Mayor's Judgment NEW YORK (CBS) ― On Friday Bernard Kerik surrendered to federal authorities on a 16-count indictment, including charges of conspiracy and corruption. Now it's just a matter of time before we all see how much this case could plays a role in the race for president. It was a courthouse drama that reverberated through the presidential race. "This is a battle I'm going to fight," Kerik said. Kerik, who served as Rudy Giuliani's police commissioner and business partner, pleaded not guilty to corruption charges carrying 142 years in prison time. "It is...
