The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal world-wide newsbox, and USA Today all lead with the unofficial announcement--via SOAs--that President Bush has chosen former NYC police chief Bernard Kerik as the new Homeland Security chief. Kerik was the city's s top cop on Sept. 11; one "presidential advisor" told the WP he brings "9/11 symbolism into the Cabinet." .....

Kerik was the top cop in Iraq for few months after the invasion. The police training program he started got low marks, says the LAT. After he returned, Kerik talked up the war effort. "We are winning the battle," he said in late 2003. Then came campaign season. As USAT notes, Kerik warned one stump crowd about the likelihood of a terrorist attack: "If you put Senator Kerry in the White House, I think you are going to see that happen."

Rudy "plays a tough guy" for the crowd ... and some of his policies were austere. However THIS GUY is the real deal - A Jack Booted Mercenary Thug.

3. I'd like to watch his confirmation hearings..

This is a guy who dropped out of HS and has had some questionable actions while head of the police Dept. I remember him and Wes debating during the campaign and he was scary...kind of a one track tough guy mind...boo...hiss...
