SmokingGun Gifting Loofahs, Plus KERIK's Rise/Fall & 2 B Investigated?

A la O'Reilly, a shower of gifts

Still searching for that perfect gift for your closest phone pal?

How about the "O'Reilly Approved" Loofah, courtesy of thesmokinggun.com Web site?

Yesterday, the Court TV-owned document clearing house messengered scores of the abrasive bath cloths to grateful recipients all over Manhattan. The items came in plastic bags sporting a label featuring Fox News star Bill O'Reilly's smirking face and the slogan "Perfect for your Caribbean shower fantasies!" along with the disclaimer, "Red wine and falafel not included." ....

Bastone explained: "We thought it would be a good idea because Andrea Mackris' lawsuit against O'Reilly (which was withdrawn after a reported multimillion-dollar settlement) was the highest-trafficked document in our site's almost eight-year history. We stopped tracking the hits after the first three days, but the document itself attracted something north of 3.5 million people." ....

The Loofah Man's reaction to Bastone's little joke? It remained a mystery yesterday. A Fox News spokeswoman told me: "I'm not going to dignify this with a comment."

WE HEAR . . . WE HEAR . . .
THAT courthouse cronies say it's "absolutely certain" Bernie Kerik will be investigated over possible connections to organized crime and how he made so many millions so quickly after he became police commissioner...

Soldier, jailer, hero, myth: the rise and fall of Bernard Kerik

.... Over at police HQ, a few reporters called Kerik's rise to police commissioner for what it was: Giuliani elevating a loyalist. But as "top cop," Bernie usually received favorable headlines. ....

1. So if Kerik's a crook, that implies Giuliani's a crook.
And if Giuliani's a crook, that implies Bush is a crook.

Just like his Poppy.
