Bernard Kerik In Jail

3:23 pm EST October 20th, 2009 | Republicans | 12 Comments

This is the man George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani wanted to put in control of Homeland Security for the entire nation.

A federal judge on Tuesday revoked bail for Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York police commissioner who is facing conspiracy and fraud charges.

Judge Stephen C. Robinson of Federal District Court in White Plains said Mr. Kerik could not be trusted to honor the consent order that prohibits any involved party from revealing confidential information pertinent to the coming trial.

Mr. Kerik had been allowed to remain free on $500,000 bail, which was secured by his house in New Jersey. The judge turned down a request by Mr. Kerik’s lawyers to keep him from being put behind bars for 48 hours while they prepare an appeal.

    ah, but his *connections* are blue-chip! Rudy G loves his Bernie!

  2. Jay says:

    So the guy is a tax cheat. With that resume he can work at the Obama White House or Chair the Ways and Means committee.

  3. SaveFarris says:

    If only Bernard Kerik would have stuffed National Security Documents down his pants, Oliver would consider him a hero.

  4. Enlightened Liberal says:

    If only Sandy Berger would have slept with his mistress in a free apartment overlooking ground zero, you would consider him a hero.

    Jay & Farris, would you please stop teabagging each other’s mothers and GET A LIFE?!

  6. jr says:

    Fox will bake a cake with a nailfile in it to help Bernie escape to be the “expert guest” for anything crime or terror related

  7. Wilbur says:

    Is it possible to teabag a mother?

  8. Sean D. Martin says:

    Jay: So the guy is a tax cheat. With that resume he can work at the Obama White House or Chair the Ways and Means committee.

    Dependable as always, Jay rushes to ignore the crimes committed buy someone on the right and point “over there”.

    Is Kerik a crook, Jay? Why can’t you just say so?

  9. timmy says:

    Maybe Jay is saying that Kerik is a good crook? You know, while Obama’s cheats were mostly respected players from the private sector, Kerik spent most of his career demonstrating to the Real Americans that the public sector is bad. Reeal baaad.

  10. Buzz Killington says:

    Do you all really not appreciate the disingenuousness of taking a shot at the Bush administration for nominating, but not appointing, a tax cheat to a cabinet post?

  11. durablend says:

    Not to worry–The Good’Ole Boy network will correct the inaccuracy in Kerik’s title (to Bernard Kerik (D) ) and make things all better….

    At least it’ll make Jay feel better, and that’s what REALLY matters, now isn’t it?

  12. Paul says:

    If Bernie did this in Illinois he would have been appointed a czar status.
