Someone please tell me what act of heroism Kerik performed 9/11?

[Sara Beverley]

I keep hearing it said the Kerik performed great heroic acts on 9/11 as did Guilani. WTF were they?

It was Guilani's bright idea to house all the security and first responder headquarters in the WTC in the first place. (Not a bright idea on its face).

Please tell my why they deserve the honor of being called "heros."
You know, Mayor Williams did as much in the aftermath of the Pentagon attack but you don't hear anything about that.

1. Something like...

Heroically eating a donut or a bologna sandwich at Ground Zero?

Trust me, any stories regarding his "heroism" started at the NYPost. Someone could fart on the A Train and they would call it heroic.

2. They personally held up several toppling skyscrapers.

3. He didn't go thru the Pockets of the Dead

Or take their jewelry

4. Sara Beverley .... I've been wondering the same thing!

What did Kerik do that was so heroic?? He sure as hell didn't do anything during his tenure to prevent 9/11 either. What "good" has Kerik ever done?

[masjenkins]

7. ummm..

He stood on a pile of rubble and talked through a bullhorn.. OH WAIT.. no, that was that other chump. If I remember correctly.. they were walking towards ground zero with their face masks on. (Kerik and Rudy)
I live in NYC, btw.. been cracking me up how this has unfolded.

[tk2kewl]

9. are you sure of that...

as i understand it he had mountains of debt until recently

[masjenkins]

13. speaking of this.....

I was privy to info from some of the ground zero recovery efforts. This DID happen. One of the moms of my son's little league teammate was a transcriber and worked down there. They were stealing shit left and right.

[mitchum]

17. LOL!!!

nice work

[baldguy]

5. He held Rudy's hand.

[readmylips]

6. Let me think, let me think...

Heroic...does screwing with two mistresses and a nanny count? Does screwing with a mistress at the Mayoral Mansion while your wife and children attend church services, does that count?

I guess the only Heroic act found, both born again republicans made millions over the 911 killing of 3000 American citizens. That is quite Heroic. They're like Ann Coulter screeming all the way to the bank...please, please keep those Clinton slimes in the news. I need more money....Kerick and Sir Guiliani don't want that war to end.

[masjenkins]

8. lol.. i forgot about that! nt

[Sleepless In NY]

12. readmylips LOL!!

To top it off, Kerik was talking about running for NJ Governor..."to bring back morality" ROFLMAOOO!!!

[AnIndependentTexan]

10. Chimp didn't preform anything great and look at him

[nostamj]

11. I KNOW! I KNOW!! (jumping up and down and waving)

he....................

STAYED OUT OF HARM'S WAY! right?

[readmylips]

14. Super stud Guliani was screwing...

two women at the same time too. Remember he had prostate cancer just when his extramarital were coming to light? He for sure got a lot of sympathy. Guliani probably had gonorrhea. Who knows who else he was screwing. He had Kerik to cover up for him or cover up for each other. What a bunch of low life bastards. Sir Guliani my ass.

[Sara Beverley]

15. You know, no one in the media has ever asked this question.

Hmmmmmm...

[BiggJawn]

16. He made BOTH his girlfriends come 30 times...

And STILL had energy to get his wife steaming...

[mitchum]

18. Yeah, but he could only do that by reading his financial statements...

to them. Even his OWN hand wouldn't have sex with him under any other circumstances.

[BiggJawn]

20. If he got his hand drunk first....

Bernie Kerik gettin' Jiggy? Ewwww.....

"...Taser Internatonal, Two million, six hundred thousand..."

"Ohhhh! Ohhhh! OHHHHHHHHH, BERNIE!!!!!"

[tsuki]

21. In case of emergency, there is always the falapel or loofah. eom

[ebayfool]

25. I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, do not believe that! LOL n/t

[devilgrrl]

19. About as much as the cops. You know, screaming 'Get outta here!!!!!'

'Get outta here!!!!!' 'Move!!!!!'

I felt safer. Didn't you. Yeah, the NYPD did a lot that day. </sarcasm>

[Redleg]

22. He stood on a rubble heap. What a man! What a hero.

FUCK BUSH, KERIK, and GUILIANI and the rest who stood on the rubble heap and acted as though they were god's gift to the world. Fuck you bastards, you have never done anything courageous.

[Starlight]

23. He saved his own ass. Shouldn't he get a medal or something? n/t

[RBHam]

24. he helped cover up the truth behind 9-11...

as police commisioner he facilitated mayor giuliani's efforts to sell off the wtc rubble before any forensics could be conducted on the evidence...

sounds like gross incompetence at best, downright treason at worst...

[Sara Beverley]

26. Is there one journalist alive with the guts to ask this question?

I would love to see it at a WH press conference.

[Sara Beverley]

29. I guess not. I haven't heard it asked yet.

Oh, well, we can dream.

[leesa]

27. My guess is that he was involved in the execution of 9-11, which makes him

a hero in the neocons eyes. He and Rudy were probably the "point people" in NYC. Rudy certainly knew what was going on in advance and certainly helped to keep people in the building when they should have been evacuated.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. Same With Any Soldier

Everyone over there is called a hero! So, what do we call the ones who do something truly heroic, like rescue a wounded comrade while bullets and shells are flying.

Pat Tillman is a hero for getting shot by one of his own guys? A tragedy, to be sure. But, heroic. Unusual definition, that.

Jessie Lynch is a hero for being in a car accident? I've been in a car accident in a foreign country. Didn't think it was heroic that i survived.

The hero thing is being thrown around so that it puts a certain class of people above criticism. If they are heroes, we can't say anything bad about any soldier, any firefighter, any cop, any public official, who DIDN'T run and hide on 9/11 like Li'l Georgie did.

It's ridiculous.

30. Asking the west-coasters this question. I really would like someone
