Kerik

President Bush has nominated former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik to become homeland security secretary
He will lead approximately 180,000 bureaucrats crowded under the banner of Homeland Security.
Top police official in New York during the attack on the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, he’s been a Bush Boy all along.
Hundreds of police and firefighters were needlessly killed when ordered into the World Trade Center.
Mr. Kerik, was in charge of the police department of New York City, famous for upholding laws when it is convenient. Nothing was done to stop payroll abuses in the department. The city was buried under a flood of illegal immigrants, who, when arrested for crimes ranging from fraud to battery, would get a quick ticket and then be released.
Mr. Kerik led a corrupt police department New York and that does not, in my eyes, make him a suitable person to run the Department of Homeland Security.
In the end he will burn out like Tom Ridge and provide comical relief to efforts to protect our nation.

It does not bode well for the nation that the man in charge of public safety in New York City on September 11, 2001 is now in charge of public safety for the entire nation.
The only thing protected is Kerik’s sense of guilt.
Appointing Kerik to this position is like appointing the Captain of the USS Cole Secretary of the Navy because his ship was attacked.
