Kerik flunks Newsweek's background check

In truth, Kerik was a corrupt GOP politician who happened to have a badge. Everything you need to know about why he was your typical Bush government servant is here, thanks to the Center for American Progress.

I was going to write something on Kerik's exit from the Homeland Security Department before he even entered but Steve Soto did such a good job there is no reason for me to. He has some choice words for the Democratic Senators from New York as well.

But let's also throw a brick at both New York Senators, Hillary Clinton and Chuck (See No Evil With Gonzales) Schumer, both of whom praised the selection of this Oliver North-loving, ethically challenged political hack who has misused his office and his staff for personal gain. So from now on, please shut up Chuck and Hillary. Neither one of you have any guts or real judgment.

That should make those of you who are worried about a Hillary run for president sleep a little easier.
