Shrubs Can't Even VET Security Czar. How Can They Protect the "Homeland"?

[UTUSN]

I know there are a lot of KERIK threads out there (I did my best to kick as many as I could myelf.) But this point needs emphasis: This Mal-administration can't even vet their own pick for "Homeland Security" and it is therefore incredible that their Red dittoheads actually BELIEVE that they are safer with Shrub. So how is this Mal-administration credited with evaluating INTELLIGENCE!!! HAH!

The other FAKE pillar the Shrubbites rest upon is the entire FAKE WINDOW DRESSING of their credentials, qualifications, and under-achievement: Like Shrub himself. KERICK just happened to be PRESENT when 9-11 happened. And he did WHAT, exactly? What is the ACHIEVEMENT that calls for the label of "hero"? Just like Shrub's claim to heroism: Standing on dead bodies with a cheerlead megaphone.

1. Arrogance

The Repukes are so arrogant they think they can nominate anyone they want and it will fly. This guy has so much in his background it would take the brains of a gnat to see he is unacceptable. However, we all know the Repukes don't have even the brains of a gnat.

2. You Nailed It------It's HUBRIS, Not JUST Sloppiness

They have gotten by with the MEAGER "heroics" of anything/anybody connected with 9-11.

What were KERIK's heroics: He happened to BE there, stepping out of the shower, when the planes hit. Then he walked up a few streets and was coated with powder.

What were Shrub's heroics: After a few days when the people wondered where, at all, their leader was, he yelled some prosaic words through a cheerleader's megaphone, atop dead bodies.

3. worse part of it

is he didn't even check to see if his Nanny, the one in charge of his kids, was here legally or not...

How on earth could he be counted on handling Homeland Security, when that is the number one job, checking the statis of people in the country. Several of the hi-jackers were here on expired Visas, so how is Homeland Security to do a better job if the head can't even handle the job of protecting his own family?

4. Oh don't think that they didn't know all about Kerik The Terrible

they were just hoping it wouldn't come out. I hope they investigate more into his time as the NYPD commmisioner.

6. I hope Kerik stays and gets the nomination. He is a thug who gives thugs

a bad name. He can become the mascot of this administration of thugs and incompetents.

7. Yes, I wanted him in the position to show the REAL face of the * administr

He would've been a wonderful mascot! So nakedly corrupt and incompetent. Sigh, I'll miss him.

5. Why aren't Rush and Hannity having a field day with this news?

Oh, I forgot. It isn't the Clinton administration.

8. They don't want to protect us...

They just want someone to keep us down.
