Rudy Giuliani is trying to keep his distance from Bernard Kerik, the former New York City mayor's police commissioner who could be facing new federal charges in a case built on a secret meeting of city officials eight years ago.

"Bernie was a mistake," the Republican presidential candidate told FOX News earlier this week when he admitted that he should not have recommended Kerik — whose closet later was found to have several skeletons in it — to be President Bush's homeland security secretary in 2004.

Kerik withdrew his nomination to replace Tom Ridge in December 2004 at the 180,000-employee department after revealing that he had just found out that his housekeeper/nanny was an illegal immigrant.

Several other accusations — both public and private — were made at the time, and a subsequent investigation led to Kerik's pleading guilty last year to two misdemeanor charges in connection with receiving payments from a company that also allegedly provided free renovations to Kerik's Bronx apartment.

1. I remember when he said he turned Kerik on 9/11 & said-

"I'M REALLY GLAD THAT GWB IS THE PREDSIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"

4. My guess is that Bernie knows where a few of the Ghoul's skeletons are buried.

I would be careful if I were Ghouliani. That kind of slam on an old pal in crime can come back to bite you.

6. Kerik and the Ghoul are tied at the hip

It's going to be amusing to see him wiggle himself out of this.

What a pair of slimy ass holes.

7. Will MSNBC distance themselves from Kerik?

Or will they continue to bring him on as an "expert" commentator on the issue of terrorism?
