The White House KNEW about Kerik's mob ties?

[itzamirakul]

Chris Matthews show: The White House KNEW about ALL of the problems that have now surfaced, including mob ties, extra-marital affairs, unauthorized gifts, and all the rest and YET THEY STILL WANTED HIM and thought they could get him through the confirmation process.

What does THAT tell you about the government that Bush is running?

[radwriter0555]

1. That they're known by the company they keep! Surely you're not shocked?

By now you must be well acquainted with the bush family history??

They're not known for consorting with ethical people, in any way, shape or form. Hell, darlin, they've been using the constitution as toilet paper and have stolen the past 2 presidential elections.

The pope doesn't come for tea, if you know what I mean. Nor do ANY state leaders of merit and good standing.

2. According to TIME--

It's just a shining and wonderful example of Shrub's "bold leadership."

3. The BFEE is it's own mob organization.

Why would they care if Kerik was involved with the mob? They like to hang together.

9. If the guy was one of shrub's Pioneer$/Ranger$...

and had donated a few million to shrub, we would:

a> not be hearing any of this info and he would be getting confirmed

b> we would be hearing about it but they would be coming up with 8 trillion excuses on why it is OUR fault that the information existed...then there is:

C> the ever reliable shrub back-up--suicide anyone who could KNOW AND SHARE the information about his background.


I just hope the rest of his nominees and appointees also have their dirty laundry flapped out in the wind. Surely there are enough people pissed off at shrub that someone will leak backgound info?

4. It should cast doubt about everyone else Bush

has ever appointed.

Apparently the vetting process at the WH is seriously lacking.

5. I am shocked! Absolutely shocked!

:eyes:

6. Well, why on earth would they want someone without the right connections?

The Bush Crime Family is just a giant crime syndicate anyway, what would be the conflict?

7. Actually, I think that it was a way to get rid of Giuliani

as a threat to whomever they want to be top of the ticket after He Whose Name Must Not Be Uttered leaves office.

8. key: "and thought they could get him through the confirmation

process"... this level of arrogance is what, in the end, will bring these mofos down. They will push TOO hard on too many fronts and will make a mistetp .... questions are: when, how much damage (just take bushco out, or take the unquestioned popularity of the GOP down,) and will the overall damage wrought by the admin and GOPcongress be repairable?
