NYT: Kerik tied to the mafia!

[oldhat]

Wow!

NYT PLANS PAGE ON SPLASH MONDAY DETALING NATURE OF KERIK RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY 'TIED TO THE MOB,' NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...

You sure fucked yourself on this one, Rudy!

And Bush sure looks like a bumbling fool!

[Geek_Girl]

1. Interesting

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to read it.

[hlthe2b]

2. I wish I could say this surprises me... But, anyone with an ounce of brain

matter, would know this guy was a crook, a liar, and a typical sycophantic, BFEE incompetent.

[CoffeeAnnan]

3. Why is it such a big deal? What is the Bush Family except a

Crime Family? Kerik is already a made man.He will fit right in.No on the job training needed for this guy.

[Geek_Girl]

19. Yeah but He looks and sounds the part too

It's like type casting which makes him a magnet for controversy and the media is not turning a blind eye with this guy. Middle America doesn't like slick New York thugs even if they are Bush's pit bull dog.

[BUSHOUT]

4. It was interesting to listen to Rudy talk about him on the other day...

he said "we" a couple of times as if he's working for/on behalf of Kerik. It was really strange....saw it on CNN.

What exactly is Rudy up to these days? He's like a republican golden boy or something....more cashing in on the 9/11 tragedy.
Assholes.

[Eric J in MN]

24. They have a security business together (NT)

NT

[BUSHOUT]

28. Nice. Arnold probably does collections for them. n/t

[Sannum]

5. I am SHOCKED!

Just SHOCKED:eyes:

Just looking at his house makes me think of those McMansions on The Sopranos.

[Placebo]

8. That's what I thought when I saw his house!

Total 'Sopranos' likeness.

[Danmel]

15. The driveway alone cost a fortune

That many Nic-O-Loc pavers? Easily 30 grand. And such tacky decorations. And that yellow color? Perfect for the cowards that they are.

As a New Yorker who worked 4 blocks from Ground Zero, I cannot tell you how sick to death I am of these vultures picking the carrion of 9-11. I am so sick of these high and mighty people exploiting that tragedy. That includes you Rudy- the biggest whore of them all- Your shining moment of glory- the death of thousands of innocents. It is beyond sickening.

[Rose Siding]

6. Says nothing for the incoming AG either

BUSH league

[havocmom]

7. Bet Hillary is sipping some nice bubble-y and smiling that gorgeous smile!

Kerik is a G. Gordon Liddy wanna-be hiding behind a nanny's skirts so he doesn't have to go through any confirmation hearings.

Ran like a chicken from Iraq. Ran like a cockroach from light on his real record.

Down the drain with Rudy.

[Geek_Girl]

20. Yay for Hillary!

Guillian Scare the begus out of me. :scared:

[knight_of_the_star]

9. Did you get this from Drudge?

I would not take anything Drudge says as truthful until what he reports is confirmed by a CREDIBLE (ie NOT FAUX) source.

[oldhat]

10. Drudge gets embargoed copies of newspapers

Getting the lead stories from the NYT and WaPo are the only things he does accurately.

[knight_of_the_star]

13. Could be a setup

A la the National Guard memo.

[oldhat]

16. Whenever he says "NYT plans to lead with..."

...it's accurate. He's just reading off of the wire. The NYT publishes their lead headlines and sends them out on the wire a few hours before they go to press.

When he does the little siren logo with some "bombshell" headline, it's usually not accurate.

You've got to understand the Drudge M.O.

[H2O Man]

23. do you have a link?

Can you provide the source of this information with a link?

[oldhat]

11. Drudge gets embargoed copies of newspapers

Getting the lead stories from the NYT and WaPo are the only things he does accurately.

[Kahuna]

12. But...but... Rudy took ON the mafia. How did this happen???

:evilgrin:

[haele]

14. You mean - we put someone associated with the Mob

In charge of developing a police department in Iraq?

Now, there's been reports of mafia-like activity all over Iraq?

Oye, oye, oye...


Haele

[BUSHOUT]

17. Have you got a link to this? Even if it's drudge, pls link. thx.

[sonicx]

18. NYT online will have it up later tonite.

[BUSHOUT]

26. Thanks. He is quoting a source though...I'd like that link if he's got it

[H2O Man]

27. Yep. This is the 4th request

for a link.

[lateo]

21. If this was so easy to find out by the NYT...

Surely Rudy must have known...

[Carl Brennan]

22. Nice surprises come from the strangest places.

I thought, oh well, another Bush appointee gets knocked off and gives Bush a slight black eye. But now Kerik's links to the Mafia beg the question about the Bushboy's links to the Mafia and then the BFEE's link to the Cuban mafia and....oh well. I'm to tired and sad after reading about Gary Webb.

[neebob]

25. I know what my mother would say

Kerik turned out to be a crook, and George Wonderful Goodpersonbush wouldn't let him in!

I'm thinking there's a method to his madness.
