Guliani’s ex-business partner’s troubles sticking like a coat of dead fish

Once upon a time, Bernard Kerik, fondly known to intimates as “Bernie” was a bona fide, 911 hero, former  NYC police commissioner, best selling author, close friend of former NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani, and Homeland Security Secretary nominee.   But then, the snakes came out of the woodwork and Kerik’s nomination blew up like a fat lady’s gut at an all you can eat buffet and now he’s surrounded by enough legal bills and money problems to send his political enemies into fits of glee. 

Kerik just plead not guilty to a 16 count federal indictment.  The feds accuse him of receiving ''money and other things of value'' in return for lobbying city regulators on behalf of an unidentified New Jersey construction and waste-management company." (Bloomberg)

Kerik landed on his feet after getting a bloody nose as a Homeland Security-nominee, landing a position with former NYC mayor Rudy Guliani’s consulting firm, Giuliani Partners.  But, sad to say, Kerik would soon become one more piece of smelly road kill  on the Giuliani Road to the White House. His legal problems continue to the Giuliani campaign, hanging over Giuliani like a coat of  dead fish.

Quoting the Washington Post, USA Today says:

Fulbright & Jaworski accuses Kerik, a longtime associate of Rudy Giuliani, of failing to pay more than $200,000 in legal bills associated with state and federal criminal investigations.

Several of Giuliani’s current and former business bedfellows and friends are under investigation, or targets of lawsuits, according to the Wall Street Journal:

Msgr. Alan Placa, a childhood friend of Mr. Giuliani who is now a consultant to Giuliani Partners LLC, the candidate's consulting firm, went on administrative leave from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, N.Y., in 2003 after allegations surfaced that he had conspired to protect priests accused of improper sexual contact with boys.

Ken Caruso, a partner in the candidate's law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, is accused in a lawsuit pending in a New York state court of professional misconduct toward a client….Also named in the suit is the Bracewell & Giuliani law firm, where Mr. Caruso is a partner in the New York office headed by Mr. Giuliani.

The  Journal  goes on to say that, “J. Virgil Waggoner, a wealthy Texan who lost $10 million in the 1990s investing with a now-defunct offshore bank that a Senate investigative report identified as fraudulent, described Mr. Caruso in the suit as being in league with the people who defrauded him. Mr. Waggoner accused Mr. Caruso of helping the people who defrauded him escape liability, even as he charged Mr. Waggoner for legal advice that went against his interests.”

War protesters arrested in giuliani's campaign office

Wanna be President?  The political kitchen is heating up for presidential contender Rudi Giuliani.  It seems that the good Giuliani is attracting anti-war protesters in Iowa.  They're so fired up at "America's Mayor" that they got arrested in the Iowa campaign offices of Rudy Giuliani--Clinton can't crow just yet--they don't like her stance on the war and were dragged out her campaign headquarters in shackles, too.

Politically, I lean Libertarian. When discussing issues, I will slam Dems and/or Republicans.

Now, when it comes to really irritating me, just make an unfounded charge; I will clobber whomever makes the charge if there are no facts to back it up! Another version of this is when I see something that is just plainly silly/ridiculous.

An example could be something stated which could be very easily disproved. Another example, and I see this frequently: Rather than...

so we are clear here...

Guliani FIRED a police comissioner who was ACTUALLY GETTING POSITIVE RESULTS...  He then replaced said commissioner with Bernard Kerik who was known, at the time, of having "alleged mob ties"

The shrub then embarrassed the entire administration by attempting to install Bernard Kerik into the role of Homeland Security chief...  (how absurd THAT would have been????) 

It can't be said that these people are losing their minds...  It can't be stated that these people are trying to destroy the United States....

What CAN/WILL be asked...

Can our nation afford to ellect a politician who would make this sort of decision???

Ciao, CZ
