Kerik withdraws his name from DHS chief nomination
"For personal reasons,"Kerik Withdraws His Name for DHS Chief
I am very disappointed and sad about this.
Kerik's original reason was that he had hired a nanny who was an undocumented alien, a la Zoe Baird, but now the story is more murky and political.
I believe it was because, as NewsMax and I both noticed, the Left was planning on going nuclear for his nomination hearings before Congress and maybe Kerik doesn't have the stomach for that.
This week alone there were at least 4 nasty hit pieces on him in the Leftist Media--one in the WashedUpPost, one in the NYSlimes, another in the Ass. Press and yet another by Clintonista Sid Blumenthal in the Guardian, signalling the Dimocrats' intention to give Kerik a Borking, if they could.
What a shame and a loss for America!
I still think Kerik would have done a terrific job and I'll be upset if we get Asa Hutchinson instead.
Dare we hope for Kerik's mentor and boss, Rudy Guiliani?
