Remember when this guy was Bush’s pick to head Homeland Security?

Bernard Kerik once enjoyed a national reputation as a brash, self-made law enforcer. As New York’s police commissioner, he was at Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s side during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. By late 2004, President Bush wanted him for homeland security chief.

Kerik’s fame faded after allegations of ethical lapses doomed his nomination. His troubles, however, have endured.

A grand jury in the Bronx has been hearing testimony about a possible corruption case against Kerik involving reputed mob associates, alleged influence peddling and a questionable home-renovation project.

Amazing isn’t it? Bush sure does pick from the great ones for the top positions in our country.
