Bernard Kerik/Julius Streicher, Peas in a pod?

[KlatooBNikto]

As the news about Bernard Kerik came up, I suddenly remembered that he reminded me of no one more than Julius Streicher, the sexual pervert during the Nazi days that William Shirer has described. I do not know how to post the pictures of the two side by side but if anyone at DU can do that the striking resemblance will overwhelm you.

Like I said, history does repeat itself in more ways than one.

1. By gum, you're right

2. Damn, just trim the mustach a little more

and these two guys could be twins.

I just hate it when history repeats itself. When will we ever learn?

3. This is the type of thug one expects in a fascist regime

He is similar to smirk. An anti-intellectual non-achiever with the ethics of an ally cat. One wonders whether he has already fulfilled the litmus test of having no problem with torture and murder like the other cabinet appointees.

4. If I am not mistaken, he was the Police Commissioner of New York when

a black man was tortured by three policemen and another was shot 40 odd times when he pulled out a wallet to show his ID.

5. No need to wonder about Kerik's torture qualifications,

he was a mercenary in the employ of the Saudi royal family. :scared:

6. I heard a little bit biographical material on Kerik on the TV yesterday

and apparently he took the inspiration for his life from the Green Hornet. Is that not unsettling?

9. Isn't The Green Hornet...

now supposed to be gay?

Hmmm...I wonder if Bernie's been in a Lower West Side boite' called "The Mine Shaft"...;-)

7. Oooops...double post. How'd that happen? Mods, please delete.

10. I am sure he is a made man of the BFEE.

8. True enough... but, as I asked elsewhere....

What's with the support he's being given by our local NY Democratic politicians??? They can't seem to find enough superlatives.

Senator Schumer seems to have a lot of admirers here. What's up with that?

11. julius streicher was hanged

at Nuremberg.....but his spirit apparently lives
