Now his double affair laid bare (Kerik cheated on wife with Judith Regan)

[RamboLiberal]

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/261625p-224000c.html

Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik conducted two extramarital affairs simultaneously, using a secret Battery Park City apartment for the passionate liaisons, the Daily News has learned.

The first relationship, spanning nearly a decade, was with city Correction Officer Jeanette Pinero; the second, and more startling, was with famed publishing titan Judith Regan.

His affair with Regan, the stunningly attractive head of her own book publishing company, lasted for almost a year.

Dramatically, each woman learned of the existence of the other after Pinero discovered a love note left by Regan in the apartment.

1. Boy, the skeletons keep tumbling out on this guy, don't they?

:evilfrown:

[blueknight]

3. he is a pos

all i can think of,is...they got their nerve!:spank:

[Florida_Geek]

5. I am waiting for the pretty boys in bed with him picture

:evilgrin: Somehow I would not put anything past him.

[Pachamama]

51. How long before Mrs. Kerik files for Divorce??

Those family values just don't seem to be there Mrs. Kerik....

:puke:

[MidwestTransplant]

60. Learned it from Rudy

[Sara Beverley]

63. More Republican family values. No wonder he and Guiliani were buds!

What will it take for this nation to wake up to Bush and the kinds of people who support him and how much power they have over the rest of us?

Impeach Bush now!!

[struggle4progress]

114. Yep. eom

[The Zanti Regent]

90. Which one wore the stained blue dress?

I sure hope it's not Rudy...

[despairing optimist]

112. Rudy prefers pink

[The Zanti Regent]

117. Oh, Jerry Falwell, how are YOU going to explain this?

Are you going to blame the CLEEEEEEEEEENIS again, Jerry??????

[Paleocon]

2. LOL.... I find hypocrites so amusing...

Is there a rule somewhere that says you have to be a hypocrite to be a politician?

[Xipe Totec]

25. That's why I wonder why Repubs use Elephant as Symbol

instead of a Hippo which would be more appropriate. Besides being hypocrites:

they sneak around in the dead of night, and they're up to their nostrils in muddy water most of the time.

[Paleocon]

40. LOL... Very good analogy...

I like that. :)

[TahitiNut]

45. It's not an elephant.

It's Pinocchio the Pig.

[Xipe Totec]

74. LOL I like that one too! n/t

[TankLV]

101. No - it just say you have to register as a repuke.

[tsuki]

4. Who vetted this guy? If Bushco can't even vet their nominees,

how can protect us against terra, terra, terra?

[Demit]

10. interesting theory on that at this blog: http://ratfuckdiary.blogspot.com

--saying of course the WH knew all about his scummy past. They wanted the msm to out him, and then their chit to Bernie and Rudy would be paid...

[Philostopher]

16. Hmm...

and they could discredit Giuliani in the process. I read a little excerpt from somewhere else saying the relationship between the Bushies and Rudy was kind of strained anyway, since Rudy's not exactly a 'good Christian' type; he's really a bit of a white elephant for the Bushies. They kind of had to take him on, since they canonized him after 9/11, but he was inconvenient for their whole 'moral values' crusade. That may very well have legs, that they let him hand them Kerik so they could beat Rudy up over him later and turn their backs on him.

[merh]

29. Makes sense, doesn't it. They wanted to dump Rudy after they

used him and he was no longer needed, so they let the MSM out Rudy's flunky, all of it spilling over to Rudy.

I hope Rudy is pissed, he deserves to be shitted on, but I hope he knows that is exactly what happened. The BFEE just crapped all over him.
:hurts:

[Pachamama]

55. They got out of Rudy what they needed - milked him for 9/11 & its worth

and now they are getting rid of the lisping wife cheater who supports gays...

:hi: bye bye Rudy

On edit - please note that there is nothing wrong with support of Gay Rights and anyone Gay - I'm speaking of the BFEE's and Fundies views...

[yardwork]

64. Rudy probably also helped with the Catholic vote

There was an enormous effort to get out the Catholic vote in this past election. Priests were told to tell their flocks that Kerry was a baby-killer (single-handedly responsible for every abortion that ever occurred, didn't you know/sarcasm off) the Sunday before election day.

I would not be surprised if Rudy had some hand in this. Perhaps provided the WH with directories, used his influence with priests and bishops, that sort of thing.

The reason it is good for Democrats to reveal the lying philandering behavior of Republicans is that it might help wake up the millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other people of faith who have been lied to by this administration.

bushco has used an unprecedented marketing effort to convince people that bushco is Godly and moral. It's the opposite of the truth and it's our job to reveal the facts!

[Pachamama]

66. Good point - forgot about that lil' factor that Rudy probably did some

help on for the BFEE...

Karma is a bitch, ain't it Rudy and Bernie?

Wonder when that Karma is coming at *? It's long overdue....

:hi: Yardwork!

[bunny planet]

115. As we New Yorkers know, Rudy can be a bitch when crossed. Bushbaby

might just regret dissing Benito Guiliani in the long run. He might just decide to say that on 911 'I'm so glad * is our President' were not his first words.

[MADem]

80. How perversely ironic that Rudy would be helpful in that regard

...especially since his first wife, his COUSIN, was DUMPED by him (annulments-R-us) because she apparently had trouble conceiving. Then, he marries Donna, and after she spits outs a couple, he dumps her for his Judy, Judy, Judy.

He's a real good rep for the Catholics...I Led Three Wives!

[crispini]

71. Exactly!

Saint Rudy is too moderate of a Republican for them, and must be dealt with.

Although, IMO, Rudy should've known all of this before he touted Kerik to the WH. I mean, jeez, if I were gonna go to bat for a guy I'd wanna make darn sure that he could make it through the approval process.

Which, of course, is exactly the point. I wonder if the BFEE actually approached Rudy / Kerik rather than the other way around?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[tsuki]

108. too moderate...wonder what is in store for Arrrnuld? n/t

[bunny planet]

49. Now that's just what I've been thinking.

[girl gone mad]

85. Interesting.

Somneone posted a photo here of Bush standing behind Kerik when he was announcing him as a nominee, and I remember replying to the photo that Bush looked like he knew he had something on Kerik.

I would speculate that maybe Bush was hoping the media would give Kerik a pass and the WH would be able to manipulate Kerik by threatening to reveal some of this stuff.

[daleo]

87. It helps clear the decks for Jebbie, too

BFEE will not give up the presidency easily.

[tabasco]

22. They blame the nominee for not telling all.

I suppose they will blame the terrorists for not reporting their plans in advance.

[Osamasux]

37. They did,

right before they blamed the CIA.

[Pathwalker]

52. Yes, it does call into question the vetting process,

since the person in charge of the vetting process is Alberto Gonzales, now up for AG.

[Pachamama]

54. I've been thinking the same all weekend long...

If they can't uncover this info before someone is nominated (ie. have a list of 10 basic questions with questions like 1) Have you ever had an extra-marital affair? 2) Have you ever hired an illegal immigrant as an employee? 3) Have you ever done something that could be seen as tax evasion? 4) Have you ever been sexually involved with someone under age 16? etc. etc.) Then how the hell are they going to protect our nation?

What a bunch of idiots....I feel less safe by the day...

:scared:

[wicket]

6. OMG!!! Check this out:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/13/nyregion/13matters.html?oref=login

Mr. Kerik had been with Mr. Giuliani for years, starting as a chauffeur in the 1993 mayoral campaign. Anyone who worked with him will tell you that Mr. Kerik, too, pretty much did as he wished.

So it is not surprising that he used police officers to do research for his memoir, incurring a $2,500 fine from the city's Conflicts of Interest Board. Or that he sent homicide investigators to question and fingerprint several Fox News employees because his publisher, Judith Regan, had apparently suspected them of stealing her cellphone and necklace.

------------------------------------------------

This guy is such a scumbag!!!!

[genieroze]

11. Abuse of power, typical neocon. eom

[qanda]

13. I love the last paragraph

The guess here is that he knew all about the serious flaws in his background. But remember, he is accustomed to working in a climate that celebrated audacity and protected insiders. He must have thought that, as in his City Hall days, he was still immune.

Isn't this what all the thugs in power think right now? They all think they are immune to any scrutiny-- especially Bush!

[rainbow4321]

32. The "stolen" stuff...

The necklace was reportedly then found at the bottom of her purse and the phone had been misplaced by her, also. I'll look for the article but that is what I read this weekend...


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49827-2004Dec8.html


Regan's items apparently went AWOL from a studio at Fox News Channel, where she also worked. They included a cell phone, a necklace and a credit card. All the items were later accounted for. The necklace was found at the bottom of her handbag. The credit card had been left behind at a drugstore. As for the phone, it was later found in a trash basket -- and it is my guess that it was the real reason for such measured panic. You never know what numbers might be in a cell phone.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. he was also having another affair with a corrections officer at the same

time...a triangle...pehaps a pentangle...who friggen knows..bush is an incompetent asshole and his whole friggen admin as well!....how did they NOT know about this...shit if they don't know about Kerick how can they know about terrorists?

[jmowreader]

62. I'm starting to think they knew all about Kerik and didn't care

so long as they could get the little Nazi into the cabinet.

How could they NOT know all this shit about this man? Most of us are just ordinary citizens without the resources of one of the world's best investigative services at our fingertips. Bush has the FBI. He has the CIA. He has the fucking NYPD fa chrissakes. You can bet your sweet ass they knew all about Bernard Kerik.

The trick was sliding him through his confirmation hearings. Once he was through, his past really wouldn't have mattered. (The fourteen scummiest people in your state's penitentiary are less sleazy than anyone in George Bush's cabinet.)

I bet he goes to church every Sunday, though; to half of America, that's all that matters.

[Pachamama]

67. Who were the Dems that praised Bernie? I hope they are apologizing...

...after licking the White Houses' rear on that nomination....I don't see how anyone could ever have praised him...he was a trainwreck waiting to happen...

Then again - maybe the plan was to let him come to the nomination hearings and let it all out there....maybe those Bernie praising Dems knew what a slime he was?

[Generator]

91. Oh but it's impossible

to criticize any of the "heros" of 9/11, our sacred tragedy that was and is being used to run the country into a third world hell hole.

Shhh don't tell...

Oh and the Dem's are wusses. It's that Michael Moore movie, doncha know that cost us the election..not the propaganda of the ratfuckers in charge.

[MichaelHarris]

8. One of these days

I'm seriously going to research as many of the republican "conservatives" and expose as many of them as I can for what they are. It seems we read every day that another republican has some sort of a scandel. Party of family values my ass.

[GOPFighter]

43. Start with Ann Coulter

...but then you wouldn't have time left to research any others!

:evilgrin:

[Gyre]

9. Aha!

Knew that the illegal nanny wasn't the real reason. Just didn't make any sense in the current season of pathological lying about everything. For America couldn't care less if their leaders are low-level scofflaws or punks. But hey, if they're sticking their little pink penises into the wrong hole, that's a whole 'nother matter for the jebusfreaks.

15. Demopedia

This list should go in Demopedia, if it's not there already!

:kick:

[Pachamama]

65. Is it me, or does the name "Demopedia" conjure up a nickname for something

that Dems shouldn't be doing? Just me I guess...I will confess that when I saw the announcement about the "Demopedia" that I thought...hmmm...wrong name... :eyes:

[On the Road]

18. "Child sex parties at the White House during the 1980s" ?

What does that mean? This doesn't sound credible.

[Straight Shooter]

31. Yes, it happened. Washington Post or NYT had HUGE headlines

Major scandal. A little sex ring. Someone on DU had posted the image of the newspaper headline.

It all mysteriously dropped off the radar screen. I believe Little Boots' father was involved.

118. Don't forget Mary Kay Le Tourneau's dad

US Congressman from CA. I think his name was Schmitt? He got caught in a pedophile scandal and Mary Kay's friend's from her childhood think he molested her too.

[Felix Mala]

50. Nanny story good Rove CYA measure

The guy is out because of liberal political correctness, not because he had a slimy biography.

[Tansy_Gold]

95. Say what?

"liberal political correctness"?

Kerik withdrew his nomination under the hiding-behind-the-nanny's-skirts ploy, but his rep was a lot worse than just a couple of extra-marital affairs. Throw in the harassment lawsuits, the warrant for non-payment of condo bills, the fuck ups in Iraq. . . . . He's a pos of the first water, and whether he was nominated by a knowing boooosh in order to discredit Giuliani, who knows. But to say Kerik was a victim of liberal political correctness seems disingenuous at the very least.

[Felix Mala]

119. I'm not saying that...

It's the Rush's and Sean's and Lucianne's who get to blame "liberal political correctness."

That's how these people have been working it for years.

[Mari333]

14. That "Liason" makes me want to poke my eyes out

UGH. :puke:

[sherilocks]

17. Kerik seems to have a problem

19. Affairs don't threaten the sanctity of marriage, though. Ha ha.

30. Yeah, thank goodness, at least gays can't get married!!!

[grumpy old fart]

21. Let's not forget the stock option payoffs.....

In addition to everything else, dude collected millions in stock options from being placed on the board of a company that made millions from the Taser business by way of the Ministry of Homeland Security. Money for nothing but being a good little Nazi. Just another example of how business gets done, and folks get paid off, in Washington.

[yardwork]

44. This is obvious insider trading - while they went after Martha Stewart

Kerik gets rewarded by being offered a cabinet position! This is filthy dirty.

[KansDem]

23. "...two extramarital affairs simultaneously..." So what's the problem?

He can "multitask!" Isn't this a plus for any new employee these days?

(/sarcasm)

[LiberalFighter]

77. True mutli-tasking would be having two affairs at two different locations

That way what one mistress leaves behind won't be seen by the other.

Just plain stupid having them both at the same apartment. Did he give them both keys to the place too?

[brentspeak]

27. Doubtful that Giuliani Associates will keep Kerik

Giuliani has this delusion that his camera-hogging during 9/11 makes him presidential material. He'll dump Kerik in a lame effort to keep his image clean.

35. Not to sound naive....

but doesn't the White House check people out before they nominate them? My stepmother (no flames pleased) was asked to serve for a while on some sort of federal commission during the Reagan Administration and she had to fill out all kinds of paperwork and hand in her income tax returns for several years.

[Tansy_Gold]

96. Apparently this was an example of boooooshie taking the

reins and nominating his pick before any vetting was done. Or so they're saying.

Who they are, I don't know. I either read or heard this yesterday (Sunday) as the whole thing was unravelling.

[H2O Man]

39. You seem to ignore

that these things are only bad when democrats get caught doing them. The affairs and the criminal activity have nothing to do with his withdrawing the nomination. He had made an honest error on his nanny. Leave it to a bunch of democrats to totally twist this story.

On second thought, you're right. What a bunch of fucking snakes.

[bunny planet]

116. Exactly, the preznit himself is guilty of insider trading, being AWOL,

drunk-driving, oh and that little pecadillo of being a war criminal. Bernie's his kind of guy, why can't these guys work it out, nannygate, schmannygate.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

38. what the heck did Judith Regan see in this guy?

[MADem]

83. She's a pretty disgusting person

There's an interesting bit on her in a recent Vanity Fair. She loves the crude remark, more to shock and perturb more than anything else. She is quoted boasting about her genitalia, and saying that she was so pumped up on hormones that she could hump the doorknob. A real charmer. Apparently, she eats her employees for lunch, and dinner. Horrible human being.

Sounds like a good match to me...they deserve each other.

41. I keep thinking about how Wes Clark

cleaned Kerik's clock on the CNN Iowa "debate" during the election.

I can see now there are even more differences between these two men than their physical appearances and the ability to communicate.

RETALIATION ALLEGED Suit: Kerik derailed his promotion

Homeland Security nominee Bernard Kerik blocked the promotion of a qualified jail supervisor because he had once run afoul of a female correction officer Kerik dated, a lawsuit alleges.

Retired Correction Department supervisor Eric DeRavin III claims in the lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court that Kerik passed him over five times between 1998 and 2000 in retaliation for reprimanding Correction Officer Jeanette Pinero.

72. He is so repulsive, I cannot imagine a single woman being

79. Maybe if they were this type of person

In 1994 Rupert Murdoch gave Regan her own imprint at HarperCollins, ReganBooks, and a TV show on Fox News. A Manhattan resident, Regan is divorced and has two children.

[Zorra]

73. Hmm, NYC police commissioner during 9/11?

Maybe Cheney owed him a big favor.

Gotta admit, this guy sure seems to fit the neocon value system perfectly - a great match for the Bu$h adminstration.

I'm sure Bu$h is sorry Kerik got caught and had to lose him as KGB head.

It's just so difficult to find unscrupulous cops to carry out unwarranted surveillance operations and purges of dissidents these days.

How gross. On the other hand, I hope this is a sign of things to come in terms of a scandal ridden second term. Bwahahahahahahaha.

[Oldpals]

93. Kerik and Regan

Regan admonished Bill Clinton and Monika L when she was doing interviews at Fox. Moral values etcetra.

Now that another one of these people is exposed (O'Reilly) last month , now Regan, how long do we have to wait before we hear some Democrat appear on one of these Fox shows or CNN (Blitzer) to actually take these people on?

I saw an excerpt from the Hannity and Colmes show where the guy Bozell was on. A guy that was defending some liberal position was laughed at by Hannity and Bozell as though what he was saying was so outlandish. Yet Colmes said nothing. This is not the first time I have seen this charade.

We need people with strong opinions that will not allow these idiots the opportunity to shout over their comments and ridicule them.

[Judi Lynn]

103. DID she, now? What the comedian she is, so droll!

It would be fantastic to see tapes made from that time.

They always have so many excuses for rightwingers, for anyone who advances their cause. It's comical when you realize one of their major "strengths" with the dumber part of our society has been their claim of virtue (of a wildly twisted strain). Without their claim of morality, they got bupkis.(sp?) Well, they do have greed, and hatred of course, to fall back on.....

Welcome to DU, Oldpals! :hi:

[not fooled]

109. we need...BERNIE WARD to debate these creeps

Have you ever seen him take on the a-holes? He is their worst nightmare: a Jesuit-trained, quick, knowledgeable debater of the first water.

Cleans their clocks--I think a lot of the cable hosts are a-skairt of him. But, occasionally he gets on. Watch for him! He is the one guy that can give it right back to them.

Just call him Officer Friendly: Um ... it looks like former NYPD commissioner and Homeland Security secretary nominee-no-more Bernard Kerik had more than just a nanny problem. The New York Daily News reports that Kerik, who is married with two children, had affairs with two women at the same time -- and one of them was publishing bigwig Judith Regan. Kerik's relationship with Regan, whose imprint published his autobiography, lasted but a year, and included nearly daily assignations at Regan's apartment and at another apartment Kerik rented in Battery Park City for what the Daily News is calling "passionate liaisons." Kerik's second, longer-term affair was with city correction officer Jeanette Pinero, with whom he carried on for almost 10 years. The two women learned of each other after Pinero found a note Regan left Kerik at the secret love apartment, which Kerik apparently used to meet both women. Regan is believed to have been unaware that the apartment was not Kerik's full-time residence. Several lawsuits have been brought against the city by corrections workers who claim that they were mistreated on the job by Kerik after they tangled with Pinero. (N.Y. Daily News)

98. Feed

this crap to Kenny Starr, its his "cup of tea". This isn't worth the print or discussion, lets not fall into the Rights tar pit.

99. NO, NO, IT'S ONLY THE NANNY!! Don't you guys trust the media?

Geez.

It's not because he used his power of office to have affairs. It's not because he availed himself of insider tips to make a killing on the stock market. It's not because he abandoned his daughter and wife. It's not because he helped his Saudi employers gather dirt on enemies while supposedly operating as a security chief. It's not because he's a deadbeat and a scofflaw who avoids litigation. It's not because he cynically exploited his office for financial gain. It's not because he's a friend of the mob and an enabler of Dirty Rudy. None of that is true. He just had a Zoe Baird moment and had to recuse himself.

Once again, the grown-ups have failed: they don't know better, and they hate having to bear scrutiny.

The only people who will have truck with this mob are dirty themselves.

As the administration tangles itself up with lies, doubletalking how they'd done all the necessary vetting, while everything they should have found was concealed by this person, the media plays the happy fugue: it was only a childcare issue.

100. Ellis Henican wrote "Kerik Nomination is a Ticking Time Bomb" on 12-3

and published it in Newsday. Remarks from the article on the two women involved:

Kerik Nomination is a Ticking Time Bomb Published on Friday, December 3, 2004 by the Long Island, NY Newsday

Why did Kerik send a New York City homicide detective to rouse TV hair and makeup artists in the middle of the night when his book publisher (and workout-partner) lost her cell phone?

Couldn't find a photo on the corrections officer, found this one for Judith Regan:



with this interesting information. I never watched her at Fox and didn't know much about her, so this does indicate she has been more than a Fox "Talking Head." Very, very odd.....

The Résumé



Occupation: Publisher

(circa 1954- )
Born in Massachusetts
Published Howard Stern's 'Private Parts' and 'Miss America,' 'Monica Lewinsky's Untold Story: An Amorality Tale,' 'Quivers a Life' and Rush Limbaugh's 'See I Told You So' and 'The Way it Ought to Be'
Hosts Fox News interview show

Why she might be annoying:
Her son was born out of wedlock and she never married the father.
She divorced Robert Kleinschmidt, the father of her daughter, in a very angry divorce. The divorce battle went for over five years and went through dozens of lawyers and many judges, costing more than a million dollars.
When she published rival Rush Limbaugh's book, Howard Stern called her 'Judas Limbaugh.'
She wrote for the National Enquirer for three years.

From a different source, it says Kerik married his wife during his affair with Pinero. :wtf:

Many close to Kerik in the mid-1990s assumed that someday he would marry Pinero, a career correction officer described as spirited and attractive by friends, a close friend and a former high-ranking Correction Department source said.

The relationship continued after Kerik married Hala Matli, a hygienist in his dentist's office whom he met in mid-1996 and wed in November 1998, according to multiple sources close to Pinero and Kerik.
