Kneel before the master: "Kerik: I Owe Bush A GREAT APOLOGY" (Fox)

WASHINGTON — The White House renewed its search for a homeland security chief Saturday as the candidate President Bush thought ideal apologized for an immigration problem involving a family housekeeper that forced him to withdraw.

"I owe the president ... a great apology that this may have caused him and his administration a big distraction," Bernard Kerik (search) said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Speaking from his home in Franklin Lakes, N.J., the 49-year-old Kerik said he had discovered a few days ago that he did not pay all required taxes for a family nanny-housekeeper and that the woman may have been in the country illegally.

The surprise withdrawal by the former New York City police commissioner sent Bush back in search of a nominee to head the sprawling Homeland Security Department, which was created after Sept. 11, 2001, to improve coordination and protection against future terrorist attacks. On Saturday, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani (search), who has been mentioned as a possible choice, expressed no interest in the job. "I am not a candidate," he told reporters in New York.

:scared: ooohhhhhh Franklin Lakes. Very rich, very Republican.

Though, I did meet a kick ass Dem family who lived there many years. They were wonderful, they knew they were probably one of a handful of Dems.

At the time, anyway.

2. Don't worry, Bernie, I think that little business in Iraq might be
a greater distraction. Remember, when you went over there to clean things up security wise and then turned around and came back to the States? Yeah, that Iraq.

And we're to believe a potential nannygate is your only problem? :eyes:
