Oops, Kerik did it AGAIN! Former Bush DHS Nominee Under Investigation

[Coexist]

A Newsweek article brings more overtime for GOP Spinmeisters.

Oct. 9, 2006 issue - New legal problems appear to be looming for Bernard Kerik, the onetime New York City police commissioner and unsuccessful nominee for Homeland Security secretary. Kerik's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, confirmed to NEWSWEEK that federal prosecutors are investigating Kerik for an alleged conversation he had with Jeanine Pirro, GOP candidate for New York state attorney general, about bugging a family boat so Pirro could determine whether her husband was having an affair.

Tacopina said he believes the Feds are also investigating Kerik's taxes, but declined to give details. (Prosecutors wouldn't comment on the tax issue.) Kerik's nomination to succeed Tom Ridge as Homeland Security secretary was withdrawn after Kerik confessed to a "nanny problem"; earlier this year Kerik pleaded guilty to charges of accepting gifts from a company that wanted to do business with New York City's government. "We are not afraid of any investigation," Tacopina said.

You may remember Kerik from his multi-pronged scandal involving nannies, taxes, stock-option windfalls and budget-conscious palatial renovations to his condo.

...and the hits just keep on coming!

3. I can't wait for the day

they investigate Kerik and his roll in the 9-11 attack.

9-11 was an inside job and Kerik was one of the insiders.

4. No, Rudy?

If you investigate Kerik, you will come back to Rudy.

5. Of course, Rudy too

and his OEM manager Jerome Hauer. Hauer is one of the kingpins.

6. I CAN`T STAND KERIK

he was on CNBC saying that Bush gets it on terrorism and democrats don`t, Kerik tried to connect the iraq war to 9/11.
When he was asked who after bush is qualified to be president and the best one to continue going after terrorists, his answer? Giuliani is the right man for 2008. NO SURPRISE THERE.
