1. Ray Kelly?

My honey (in the department in question) thinks he has dreams.

[xultar]

2. What about the goods to back it up?

[annabanana]

3. well, he WAS NYPD....but not a real "FOR"

(Friend of Rudy)

What makes you think that credentials will have anything to do with it?

4. i heard that

the "illegal nanny" story being pushed is all a smokescreen. that bernie was having an affair with a new york city socialite and she broke it off with him and he did'nt like it. so when he was calling harrassing her, she has TAPES. ALA BILL O'RIELLY!

5. I figured the nanny story was hiding something. The BFEE wouldn't

let a simple nanny story side wind a loyal BFFE spokes person.

9. El Señor Arbusto had NANNY PROBLEMS once before during the selection of

Cabinet I with Linda Chávez who had hired an undocumented alien. I think he was prepared to stand next to Chávez but the pressure put on her by the press (?), democrats, and others = (bush goons, maybe?) was too great so she ended up withdrawing her nomination.

Edited to ad link to Kerik's resignation letter

(need registration to the Atlanta Journal Constitution)

just wonder who wrote Kerik's letter for Kerik.

6. I'm sure we'll find out eventually, and you're right

a "nannygate" is nowhere near tough enough to discourage BFEE.
Perhaps he'd have to forgo some big "taser" contract?

7. If Integrity counts for something, they may have exhausted their

inside circles.

8. They have the downstairs group...the really hell bound bunch...n/t

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. The ones they rely on to do the dirty work?

[xultar]

16. Yes, the really dirty, wet work. n/t

10. Kerik was probably a ringer

-- No doubt they'll now unveil the one they really wanted in all along. And that person will make Kerik look like a cupcake.

[salin]

11. Richard Perle?

He sure does the insider trading on information to make money in his private companies... so his exploits are a little more "hidden" since the general public doesn't seem to read the New Yorker...

Granted Perle doesn't really have the background... but when did that stop the bushies from placing ideological and corruptly connected cronies into these positions?

[goddess40]

13. He was put up so no matter who was appointed would look good

so and so is so much better than Kerik.

14. How about Pat Robertson?

Any guy that can pray a hurricane away, can smite terrorists with a wink at god.

19. Gerald Hege is available

Hege doesn't have any stinking nanny problems.

Bush will simply have to get him off house arrest--he was busted for corruption and forced to step down as Davidson County sheriff--but what the hell, he'd be the most honest member of the Bush Cabinet.

20. Asa Hutchinson

Now shudder
