Is it bad judgement to nominate a crook to head up the Homeland Security Department?
Bernard Kerik has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from contractors and failing to report kickback income. As you will remember, in 2004, Bernard Kerik was George Bush’s first choice to be the Homeland Security Director.
Homeland Security director is a cabinet-level position in charge of some of the most sensitive and important work in the US government. Do you think that Bush used good judgement when tapped this criminal for such an important job?
Is it bad judgement to at least make sure the guy is clean before you nominate him?
And Kerik withdrew his nomination, he was not asked to step aside, unless Bush is a liar.

It is truly hard to answer your questions when if you think about it. The difference between a hero and a war criminal is weather or not they won the war. If the crook is on your side. You might have something but I wouldn’t trust them any farther than I could spit.

yep, but that’s the G.W.B administration for you. I mean they even had a dude with no medical or community service experience of any kind head up FEMA!!!! Oh and Bush is a liar.

GW Bush making bad judgement?! As if he’d ever make good judgement, that’ll never happen. So please Americans, make good judgement when you exercise your right to vote in 2008.

Hey… Kerik is the best man for the job… what are you… some kind of commie… don’t you believe your President when he tells you that a nominee for office is the best man for the job?… geesch.!

Bush used the best judgment he knows. After all, Bush is a convicted felon himself.
July 18th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
ok course it is,
July 18th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Great loaded question – I’m sure it was meant to be rhetorical as you are already sure that you have the answer.

of course!
but what does bush care he is probably doing some dirt of his own!
you know how politics are!

As soon as the administration found out about his problems they canceled his nomination. Something Bill Clinton would not have done.

Hello, fellow Americans and Bush lover’s, the answer is because Kerik and Bush are buddies, and buddies stick together, Bush could care less if his pals are criminals or not, and he could care even less than less what the American people think! Mr. Bush has paid off the top 1% of America, they are fat and happy with money stolen from your current tax returns & your Social Security account.I Dare you to contact S.S. and inquire an update regarding your retirement , or your monthly income should you become incompacitated, now or in the future! It’s time folks, try and clear your minds for a second and see if you can focus on the problem that America is plagued with, if you don’t speak up, right now, this 4th of July, well then it’s going to be too late. Please try and concentrate I know it’s hard, it’s hard for everyone( to be discussed at a later date) but if you love your country you must impeach George Bush & Dick Cheney from their stolen office. Do it today, if you care about uour children, your future and your country, you must!

Lets face it, what Government Official is “clean”, when it comes to this or that??
You dont get to be “high ranking” unless you have stepped on a few toes, accepted a lot of kick backs, turned your head a few times, and a whole lot more dirty dealings, to get where you are now…
Its a sad but true statement of facts and affairs in any Country.
But, I especially love it when Ted Kennedy is on the panel that oversees “ethics” in Government, when he is one death to his credit, a drunk and “he” has the audacity to preside over anyone and judge “thier morals”??? ROTFLOL!!!
I wish you well..

At this point I have a lot of questions like that for our president..What is he thinking letting a criminal head any department?? He has made several bad judgments but this is really bad. When is he going to stop?? Soon he is going to help a criminal run for president….

July 18th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Of course it is bad judgment, but the pattern is with GWB— “I’m in your face and I’m gonna do it” and then he spits in your eye.
July 18th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
That theif, he never changes.
July 18th, 2010 at 9:00 pm

July 18th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Duh when has that ever bothered GWB.

Is it bad judgement to hire a felon for a cop?
July 19th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Why not, we voted a crook in as President……give me an example of a politician that isn’t a crook
July 19th, 2010 at 1:02 am
I think it is bad judgement to nominate a known crook. But look at the rest of the government! LOL
