It's not because I wanted him in office. Understand that now. The man may have been the most evil choice of security chief since Heinrich Himmler.
No, scratch that. Himmler wasn't that bad compared to Kerik.
I was waiting for the two-week smackdown the Senate would put on this man.
We know about the Taser contract. We know about the Saudis. And Dyncorp. The Korea incident. The Hay Street finger-snapping. The Rikers Island Cigarette Scandal. His high school attendance record.
There are a lot of things WE don't know about but a Senator who really wanted to put the smackdown on Bush for some reason or another could find easily.
The networks were probably drooling over the opportunity to run this shithead's "confirmation" hearing (okay, confirmation that the last thing we'd ever do is approve your sorry ass for a job with more responsibility than picking up the dog turds from the sidewalk in front of the Smithsonian). Imagine! A confirmation hearing that people really watch! Jerry Springer, eat yer heart out!
And now it won't happen.
Folks, does this "nanny problem" claim sound like something they just pulled out of their asses? They can't say "we found out his wife has a burka" or "we found the swastika armband and 'Gott Mit Uns' belt buckle in a shadowbox on his wall" so they have to go with something that has been proven to work quick to unload embarrassing nominees.
