Kerik aide gets boot -Bugs catch correction flack jawing about Bernie prob
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/408827p-345991c.html

Bernard Kerik's loyal former spokesman was fired by the city yesterday after he was caught on wiretaps discussing what he and others would say to investigators probing the former top cop, the Daily News has learned.

Investigators tapped Kerik's cell phone last year in connection with an ongoing probe into a suspicious 1999 renovation of his apartment in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

Tom Antenen, who had been a spokesman for the city Correction Department and NYPD under Kerik, was recorded on those wiretaps discussing possible grand jury testimony, a source briefed on the matter told The News.

Antenen was fired from his current Correction Department post after Commissioner Martin Horn learned of the conversations, according to two sources. A spokesman for Horn confirmed Antenen was let go, but declined to say why. "Tom has stepped down at the request of the commissioner," said spokesman Mike Saucier.

2. Bernie Kerik was on Fox News as one of their paid experts
Couldn't believe it when seeing that scumbag sitting there pontificating on and on with the Fox News host treating him with a lot of respect.

3. Be careful about dissing' Bernie Kerik!
Today on Fascist Friday with Brian Lamb we heard The Honorable Karl "Squealer" Rove's SCREECH where he referred to Bernie Kerik ... in painstaking detail :freak:, how 911 had emotionally touch this TOUGH ole' swaggering Cop #1. :puke:

What is going on in this administration?
It seems like being "big and stupid" is all they ever strive for ... that's no way to lead a country!

and are not happy about being unable to use him. If they had their way he'd probably be running the DHS's new gestapo right about now.

6. Ah, Judith loved the smell of Bernie in the morning
Trial, please! Trial! Time for a nostalgic look back.

A couple of her men:

http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/media/columns/medialife/152/

*********QUOTE********

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

http://www.zianet.com/insightanalytical/newlow.htm

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

-----------

And I (the poster) will claim credit for insight. Back when KERIK's book for REGAN was debutting, she hosted him on her Faux interview show. His tale was of his missing mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a tot. She never showed up for a custody hearing. The premise of the book was that this tough uber-male had this hole in his heart, thereby setting the pants on fire of tough wingnuts of all genders. As she probed him about the book, she and KERIK locked smouldering, HOT gazes. Once the mother-thing was done, she moved on to his heroics (which were what?) on 9-11. She asked WHERE HE WAS when the planes hit. Without missing an eye-lock, he said, "Stepping out of the shower." She swallowed and held a long breath. The image of nekkid KERRIK was plainly etched on the Faux camera lens during the LONG pause. He added, "In my office." Another LONG pause. He added, "After WORKING OUT." There was another swallow. I suspected BACK THEN that something was cooking between publisher and author, and it weren't spaghetti. Only 2 or 3 years later, when KERIK's many other past deeds floated to the surface like dead bodies did it become official that there was indeed WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE between the two, that the two of them alternated their HOT WINGNUT LOVE sessions with WORKING OUT together, that he had used NYPD to track down what happened to his mother, that he used NYPD to provide security for his personal WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE, that the LOVENEST was a city-paid apartment near the WTC intended as a rest site for rescue and recovery workers. It was pure musk in the air. Why don't Shrub's handlers hire some of US for intelligence work?

10. you mean to tell me Kerik hasn't been lynched yet?
This is just ridiculous, why does any "investigation" have to take years and years and years to uncover a few basic facts? this guy deserves to rot in attica for the rest of his worthless life.
