What would the Bushies vetting of Kerik? I think the apopintment of someone for a Cabinet position would require extreme vetting -- which the Bushies obviously didn't do -- neither did Rudy from the sounds of it.

Those of us in the NYC area know why Kerik went from Rudy’s lowly limo driver to NYC’s high police chief in one fell swoop. He saw something that Rudy wants to keep quiet, and he “offered” to keep his mouth shut in return! Comment by criticalthinker — October 12, 2007 @ 1:00 pm I've done some research on Kerik and haven't seen anything referring him to a limo driver for Rudy. Do you have a link? I did, however, find this interesting story, although not yet the substantiated information. "Kerik worked from 1982 to 1984 as chief of investigations for the security office at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, one of the kingdom's premier hospitals, where members of the royal family are treated. Six members of the hospital security staff, including Kerik, were fired and deported after an investigation in 1984 by the Saudi secret police." Why do you think Rudy hasn’t thrown Kerik under the bus, and never will?
