When in trouble: mention Clinton.

1. Of course they'll go for that

I wonder if the word "Tasar" will come up on MSM?

[bluestateguy]

2. The Clinton Administration

Oh, yeah, that was like, um FOUR YEARS AGO!

[xultar]

3. Yeah, they aren't mentioning the Hustler employed son, the 2 million

the child in Korea, what else was there? I bet Kerik has skeletons in his closet with their own publishing deals.

[snippy]

4. I think it is Gonzales' stepson who worked for Hustler. However, your

post makes me think that we and the democratic party need a concise list of Kerik's legal, ethical and moral disabilities. Just off the top of my head I can think of these:

Disappearance of $1 million while running New York prison.

Outstanding warrant on condo dispute.

Unlawful use of public employees for personal purposes on at least two occasions.

Mysterious early departure from Iraq after training Iraqi police force.

Questionable purchases of weapons and ammunition while in Iraq.

Questionable investigations of personal lives of employees while doing security work in Saudi Arabia.

Possible bankruptcy fraud.

Failure to inquire about Bush administration failure in August 2001 to advise New York City about warnings of impending terrorist attacks.

Questionable stock option activity.

Nannygate problem.

Every democrat commenting on the White House having ordered Kerik to withdraw his name needs a list like this.

5. the CURRICULUM VITAE items that you've just posted on Kerik'squalification

for the job ARE just what the BUSH GOONS were LOOKING for!

They knew it. They pushed him onto the world. Somebody gasped. He got bounced!

[snippy]

6. True. But democrats should not allow republicans to say that Kerik's

problems are similar to those of some of Clinton's nominees. I have no confidence that democrats will take advantage of this opportunity but I wish they would. Not only would it illustrate republican hypocrisy it also would reveal their lies.

[flordehinojos]

7. we should all write/e-mail mainstream media to remind them of Linda Chavez

's NANNY PROBLEM plus highlight Kerik's Curriculum Vitae to them.
I think I'll just go ahead and do that. The e-mail will probably fall on deaf ears or inside the waste basket along with our votes, but i'll have the pleasure of feeling that i am not being silent...and who knows, if enough of us contact the mainstream media... one of them is bound to HEAR something.

10. for off the top of your head

thats pretty good.

8. That's how we got Janet Reno, who went on to appoint Ken Starr

I'm from Miami-Dade and I never liked her bootlicking of the MiamiCuban "exile" terrorists.

:mad:

9. They're laying on the whitewash really thick, aren't they?

Add to Bernie's list of other "qualifications"...

No University Degree.

Abandonned an out-of-wedlock daughter in Korea, leaving her and her mother in a lurch.

And he just LOOKS like a hot-head thug. Reminds me of J. Edgar.

Nice try, Rudi....

[11 Bravo]

11. Clinton's penis never paid taxes!

These fuckers are nothing if not predictable.

[donhakman]

12. Kerik

The NY police chief and Mussolini look alike probably wants to keep quiet the $6 million he made while police chief by buying the stun guns he owned stock in.

That money put him in the possible political players club.

But a nannygate certainly sounds much more innocent.

[tx_dem41]

13. Leaving out Chavez in the article is unforgivable, but....

mentioning the Clinton appointments is fair game to provide historical context to a fairly recent issue.

[waywest]

14. Red herring..

I think Kerik's most embarrasing issues are related to TAZER stun guns.


but look over there...

[spguilty]

15. it's true

But. it's true. right? I remember 2 people that Clinton appointed for attorney general who had nannygate problems! It's nothing new!

[Straight Shooter]

16. Not "spin." It's "damage control."

The word "spin" is too benign, it sounds harmless.

Frame the debate.
