Bernard Kerik the Hero
Why and how has Bernard Kerik become a hero as a result of September 11th. What did he do on that day? Did he actually try to help save anyone from the buildings before they collasped? Maybe I just missed it, but I do not see how Bernard Kerik can be called a hero.

1. Who called him a hero? He is a jerk and a disgrace.

2. But never forget he is representative of the actual values of those
of his ilk who claim to be all about Christian values.

5. I've been on a one-person campaign about Rudi and Kerik's heroism
Can't get one journalist to raise the question. Bush, Rudi, and Kerik did nothing to earn the acclaim that they received for being "heros" on 9/11. Rudi and Bush walked around with a megaphone. When the bombing took place in OKC, Clinton did as much if not more to comfort the nation and the families in OKC yet he was roundly criticized by the likes of the RW conservatives and talk show hosts such as Rush and Coulter as a political opportunist and not being sincere. He was even criticized for shedding a tear.

Now these dolts, Bush, Rudi, and Kerik are all acclaimed for their "heroism" on 9/11. Yet mayor Anthony Williams is never mentioned for doing much the same thing in DC concerning the Pentagon attack. You almost never hear about the attack on the Pentagon.

Rudi and Kerik are the lowest of the low, making millions off of the 9/11 tragedy. We all know what Bush has done with 9/11. It's just shameful.

7. Make that 2 people
Too bad no one wants to listen to us. Rudy did his damn job, that's it. And quite frankly it was one of the few times he did his job.

Kerik is even more disgusting, as it has come out in the local papers since the scandals broke that the apartment in Battery Park he was whoring around with his mistresses in was a donation meant to be used by rescue workers at Ground Zero. :puke::puke::puke:

10. And they call Michael Moore un-American
for "cashing in" on 9/11.

Bernard "I was bankrupt two years ago" Kerick and Rudy "50k per speech whore for big pharmaceuticals" Giuliani feathered their nests quite well with the blood of the 9/11 victims.

What about the police/fire radios that didn't work(an uncorrected problem from WTC '93) and the thousands of gallons of diesel fuel stored(against the recommendation of the fire dept.) in WTC-7
that helped cause the collapse of the building.

8. Kerik's lawyer was on CNN this morning. What an ass. He said
Kerik's starting to get mad now.

The lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, was also acting upset himself. With a tone of distress, he said something like, "Why do they bring up something that happened 7 years ago??!!?"

Jesus Christ, doesn't this guy remember what they did to Bill and Hillary Clinton? And he's upset because people DARE bring up things that happened seven years ago with HIS honorable client?

9. It's hard to see how he distinquished himself and how his presence...
...made for a different contribution from what any other mediocrity's would have been.

He was "there" at a time when people's sentiments demanded that a hero be made out of whomever was handy.
