[edbermac]

[dweller]

[dzika]

16. In the process of completing paperwork...

...required by the Senate he discovered that he had employed an undocumented (illegal) nanny and forgot to pay some related taxes. Blah Blah Blah.

Does anyone really believe this story?

[HR_Pufnstuf]

19. McClellen on it.

"Presidential press secretary Scott McClellan, in a conference call to news organizations, revealed that Kerik had withdrawn "for personal reasons."


"Bush's nomination of Kerik quickly proved controversial. News reports in recent days focused on revelations that Kerik had made millions of dollars a stun gun company that sold weapons to the Homeland Security Department and which wants more business. The White House had said that Kerik would avoid any conflicts of interest."

[seabeyond]

17. he can be incompetent, stupid, a crook, but no

f*in the nanny

typical repug

[ClintCooper2003]

18. He's probably gay.

[ogradda]

21. Well the Bushites

couldn't have that,could they?

[Dancing_Dave]

20. Everyone who knew him in New York

Will be vastly relieved at this news!

He may have been the very worst possible man for the job. Leave it to the Bush team to dredge him up some how!

[HR_Pufnstuf]

24. Sludge reports..

"Reports claim Kerik withdrew due to 'Nanny Problem'.. possibly had an illegal alien baby-sitting his kids and failed to properly report her taxable income... MORE... "

[AmerDem]

25. Unreal

What a bunch of lying, hypocritical bastards. It never ends.:puke:

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. shit's hitting the fan.

If Bush really felt he had a mandate, he'd rammed any crony down our throats. But I think he's beginning to realize that between now and January 21st, he's got to be rilly, rilly careful not to set off the shit storm too early.

With all this talk of election fraud, it's going to be interesting to see how he keeps his job.

[neversaynever]

47. even more interesting to see how he loses his job n/t

[DemonFighterLives]

27. It's a scam to drive up the value of his busts

A Kerik the great bust will now be worth 5 or 10 bucks to some lonely freeper.

[karlrschneider]

28. Woah! I totally missed this. Thanks.

:eyes:

[goldengreek]

29. Something told me that guy was trouble. (n/t)

[Blue in the face]

30. Do you think the media will follow up or drop this?

[goldengreek]

35. Not so sure.

I am curious, though. I'm sure he was supposed to be their muscle. He's no doubt appropriately sullied, so they could have hung him out to dry later after he'd "gotten out of control." That's they way those guys work. Maybe some of his funk got leaked to a reporter.

When -- oh when -- will saps stop trusting those troglodytes?

[thedevilinthedetails]

31. GREAT NEWS!

Always good news when a facist takes his own name out of the hat!

[Shalom]

33. NANNYGATE PROBABLY BULLSHIT, A COVER UP....

It is very likely that KKK Kerik had some very serious and scary shit in his past that was about to explode like a shit bomb, and the nannygate story is just a cover up.

This guy is a brutal killer, and if a nanny stood in his way, he would have snuffed her out like a candle.

An extremely dangerous and pathological criminal, chosen for these attributes by his soul brother, the POTUS AWOL cowardly cokehead commander-in-thief, George Walker Bushitler, who will follow Kerik down the shit chute real soon.

[bunny planet]

36. Nannygate my ass. Kerik has some scandal to do with a Taser company

he either owns or is heavily invested in, stood to make millions more with an exclusive contract for use of the tasers with Homeland Security. They probably had to pull him before the articles came out revealing his really crooked dealings. Guy is a thug.

[Shalom]

37. 99% of the time, the first story out from these fascists is a LIE.

Right on, "bunny planet" - we don't accept any shit from this administration until we see it, and then we only half-believe it.

[texpatriot2004]

39. I think so too. He sure did sell that stock in the Taser Co. just

in time for the price to fall. Could it be an insider tip of some sort? Maybe he could go to jail like Martha.

[bunny planet]

41. I'd love to see that bald f**k at Camp Cupcake. Martha would have him

making bedroom slippers out of maxipads in no time. LOL

[texpatriot2004]

43. Can you hear me laughing out loud?

:7 :7 :-) :-) :P :7 :7 :-) :-)

[Patsy Stone]

34. Rudy Giuliani

That's all I'm saying.

[proudbluestater]

38. Whoa! Amazing! Heard something else interesting about him

this morning on Democracy Now. Apparently he was on the board of directors of the Taser Co. Two weeks before a newspaper article came out stating the tasers were not completely shown to be safe, he dumped his stock and reaped 4 million bucks.

Martha Stewart is the ONLY one who goes to jail. Screw that.

I doubt whether the nanny issue was a problem. The nannies were only an issue when Clinton was president. Now with the Repukes in control, they hold themselves to a much LOWER standard where both the president and vice president have profited from insider trading and never did a day's worth of time. Nannygate is for Dems, silly folks. The Repukes break the law in MUCH BIGGER WAYS.

[RevCheesehead]

40. The Nanny-scam is an intriguing concept...

Really - the director of homeland security employing an illegal alien? And failing to pay taxes?

Sounds a bit like that NJ governor (McGreevey?).

Maybe shrub can hire Tony Soprano. Now THERE's a guy who can get the job done!

[floridadem30]

42. I can't wait to hear this story also, thanks for the post

[ValleyGirl]

44. Maybe the thought of chimp laying a big smooch on him

at his appointment announcement made him reconsider. ;)

[dzika]

45. Ohio's Blackwell being considered for Homeland Security

I'm just kidding. :)

[Horse with no Name]

46. I think they are saving him for the Supremacist Court

:scared:
