Bernie Who?

Today's Washington Post provided the hardly unexpected news that the horrid Rudy Giuliani's bff, Bernard Kerik, is likely to be indicted on tax evasion and other charges. Kerik has already pleaded guilty to state charges that he accepted nearly $200,000 in "gifts" (I guess that is what they are calling that now), most of which involved substantial renovations to an apartment that Kerik did not pay for while working as the corrections commissioner and later the police commissioner when Giuliani was mayor of New York.

Or, to put it another way, Giuliani appointed a common crook to two of the most important jobs in the City of New York and then convinced President Bush (not that it was so hard, I'm sure) to nominate that crook to be in charge of the Department of Homeland Security. While this type of attention to detail certainly qualifies Giuliani to be the head of FEMA or some other senior position in the Bush Administration, I remain baffled as to why so many Republican voters seem inclined to support him for President. Let's hope Kerik and his ongoing problems finally shatter the inexplicable Giuliani mystique once and for all.
