Bernard Kerik Pleads Guilty To Corruption

12:51 pm EST November 5th, 2009 | News | 10 Comments

This is the man that George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani thought should oversee the homeland security of the United States.

Bernard B. Kerik, a former New York police commissioner, pleaded guilty to eight felonies in a Federal District Court in White Plains on Thursday morning. Mr. Kerik, who will be sentenced in February, faces 27 to 33 months in prison.

Conservatives again demonstrate their impeccable judgement.

    Cons prefer Kerik to Obama because of the whole skin color thing

    Remind me again who Democrats wanted to be the Vice President in 2004.

    Obviously this is all somehow Obama’s fault

    And no doubt Fox News will be posting the former police commisioner’s correct title (“Bernard Kerik (D)”) soon enough, if not already.

    You’re right Farris, that IS a pretty bird over there!

    …someone who didn’t commit eight federal felonies?

    Well this pulled me out of the doldrums to point out, again, that Kerik did not make it into the position, yet we now have multiple tax cheats actually in cabinet posts, including the head of Treasury, of all places. This is really an issue you want to use to talk about judgment?

    Yea, sure, please tell us of all the felony charges leveled to the ‘tax cheats’ them by the state. I’m waiting…

    You know, the problem is with wingnuts is you don’t know when to abandon those that need to be shunned. You guys fight tooth and nail to the very bitter end, somehow thinking that if you just yell loud enough and keep huffing and puffing, that will make everything better.

    Here’s the deal, Kerik is a lying corrupt scumbag. You should know when to distance yourself from people like this.

    I think it was Oliver who said if a picture of Rush Limbaugh surfaced in full KKK garb, his gushing fanboys would be the first in line to defend him, saying well he was just comparing cotton blends.

    Despite the fact that I didn’t defend Kerik in any way, I will still respond to your comment. As I said, Kerik did not make it into the position (that’s distancing), yet we now have multiple tax cheats actually in cabinet posts (that’s not).

    Finally, please don’t tell me you honestly believe they are not tax cheats just because they agreed, and were allowed, to pay their evaded taxes as a prerequisite to assuming their cabinet positions.

    If the best you can do is to whine like a girl about ‘tax cheats’ then by all means, bring it on. It will be great fun to witness. Has it made a difference yet? Has anyone resigned as a result of it? Maybe you can call your hero Glen Beck and he can cry on TV about it for weeks on end.

    Let’s see…. a felon in charge of Homeland Security, an Arabian Show Horse judge in charge of Emergency Management, lobbyists writing legislation, Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, Mark Foley heading a committee to protect children from sexual abuse, Sarah Palin for VP, a man who wants to lop ten stories off the UN as UN ambassador, and Monica Goodling in charge of evaluating prospective US attorneys.

    It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
