Rudolph W. Giuliani told a grand jury that his former chief investigator remembered having briefed him on some aspects of Bernard B. Kerik’s relationship with a company suspected of ties to organized crime before Mr. Kerik’s appointment as New York City police commissioner, according to court records.

Mr. Giuliani, testifying last year under oath before a Bronx grand jury investigating Mr. Kerik, said he had no memory of the briefing, but he did not dispute that it had taken place, according to a transcript of his testimony.

Mr. Giuliani’s testimony amounts to a significantly new version of what information was probably before him in the summer of 2000 as he was debating Mr. Kerik’s appointment as the city’s top law enforcement officer. Mr. Giuliani had previously said that he had never been told of Mr. Kerik’s entanglement with the company before promoting him to the police job or later supporting his failed bid to be the nation’s homeland security secretary.

In his testimony, given in April 2006, Mr. Giuliani indicated that he must have simply forgotten that he had been briefed on one or more occasions as part of the background investigation of Mr. Kerik before his appointment to the police post.

3. I'm sure he hopes all of this stuff will get out of the way early and not dog him into the race...

But just wait until they start to eat their own.

4. Bernie who? Do I know someone named Bernie? Another Republican with memory problems.

I'm really beginning to worry about the Republican party. All these lapses in memory. Is it possible that someone spiked the water cooler at the RNC? Or maybe they served contaminated chicken at one of their fundraising dinners?

This sort of wholesale memory loss indicates a serious problem among our nation's leaders and I for one want answers!
