I *THOUGHT* So - Judith REGAN and KERIK (*and* Matt PUDGE???)

[UTUSN]

While I fetch the LBN thread from the NY Daily News re: KERIK's --------LONG-------list of ethical problems, here's the THANG on his publisher/workout partner, Judith REGAN of "ReganBooks":

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

1. I do want to have sex with Bill Clinton. however...

What about Kerik?

*edit to clarify WHO i want to have sex with

2. HAH-------Matt PUDGE Is Claiming, "It was a VERY thorough vetting process!

He ALSO claims that we, "The LEFT" despise MASCULINE MEN---------THAT's why KERIK was kicked. NOT that he is a WEASEL, pourmouthing about how he NEEDS MOOHLAH, how he had "angels" writing checks for his wedding and for his newborn's bedroom. (Going to fetch the NY Daily News article.)

25. On the television news this morning

It seems the right was laying all of this at Kerik's feet. That is, the pundit said, "It doesn't matter how many times the administrations asks the questions during the vetting process if the person being interviewed doesn't answer honestly." (paraphrased)

So, there you go... another of the young get eaten. Now the republicans will have to form another circle and sing Kumbaya until this passes.

[UTUSN]

27. Alberto GONZALEZ Fucked Up the Vetting

All of NYC knew about KERIK's past. If the Shrubbites didn't know, couldn't find out, it points up their incompetence. If they DID know, it is ARROGANCE.

GONZALEZ is another train wreck waiting to happen. Along with his boss, needless to say.

That macho-macho man stuff is a real turn-off for me.

11. Har! You oughta read that one

Some goob gave it to me as a MUST READ. So I read it. It's a comic book without pictures, black ops mayhem as boys tearing it up and having Big Fun. Waaaay over the top. If they made it into a movie it had better star Jim Carrey because no one would believe such a strutting self-aggrandizing bozo was anything but comedic fiction.

5. Link from LBN------KERIK's *******Long*****List of Ethical Probs

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/261266p-223749c....

Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik accepted thousands of dollars in cash and gifts without making proper public disclosures, a Daily News investigation has revealed.
Kerik failed to report the gifts on financial disclosure forms he was required to file with the city as head of the both the NYPD and, before that, the Department of Correction.

<snip>

The probe revealed that for many years, one of Kerik's main benefactors was Lawrence Ray, the best man at Kerik's 1998 wedding, according to Ray, other sources and checks shown by Ray to The News.

Ray and another Kerik pal, restaurant owner Carmen Cabell, helped bankroll Kerik's 1998 wedding reception, contributing nearly $10,000.

Ray also gave Kerik nearly $2,000 to buy a bejeweled Tiffany badge that Kerik coveted when he was Correction commissioner.

And Ray said he gave Kerik $4,300 more to buy high-end Bellini furniture when Kerik allegedly griped that he couldn't afford to furnish a bedroom for a soon-to-be born daughter.

The city's Conflicts of Interest Board requires officials to report any gifts of $1,000 or more.

Kerik has run afoul of ethics rules before, having been fined $2,500 by the board for dispatching detectives to investigate his mother's death as part of the research for his best-selling memoir, "The Lost Son." ....

The reception was not the first time that Ray covered Kerik's tab. After Kerik was named correction commissioner in January 1998, he pleaded with underlings to buy him a Tiffany badge like the one given to the police commissioner, department sources told The News.

"He just had to have one because the police commissioner always gets one," said a source who then worked at Correction Department headquarters. ....

6. PUDGE Is Claiming Peeps are Out to GET Kerik---------NOT

like how PUDGE "built the house" on CLINTON-crapping.

[UTUSN]

8. La PUDGE Is Claiming REGAN Was Going to be Subpoenaed

to testify at the KERIK hearings. Uh, no. The Dems had rolled-over from the get-go saying they just LOVED Kerik.

[UTUSN]

9. PUDGE Is Floating Jomentum as the KERIK Replacement

Oh, he's saying KERIK "passed through the vetting process"--------HAH! Meaning that Alberto GONZALEZ---------FUCKED UP REALLY BAD--------since, EVERYBODY IN NY knew about KERIK's problems and KERIK's fuck-up-ness was ALL OVER this discussion board from the instant his name came up. Why couldn't Alberto GONZALEZ's vetting come up with anything?

And they "won" this election over the Shrubbites being THE ONLY ONES who could protect us with COLLECTING AND EVALUATING INTELLIGENCE?????? They can't even VET!!!!!!!!

(Or rather, they ONLY hear what they WANT to hear.)

12. The turd Murdoch is a particularly repugnant human being.

Perhaps being universally loathed may be why he's so anti-social. Myself, I favor the greed theory as the explanation for his bent.

Royko had him pegged. Called him "The Alien."

From "Scoobie Davis," an excellent summary:

A few days ago, a copy of the Post was left on a newspaper rack. I opened it up and it was worse than I remember it being. It reminded me of the late Mike Royko—who left the Chicago Sun-Times when Murdoch bought. Royko said that no self-respecting fish would allow itself to be wrapped in a Murdoch newspaper. Royko later said a truism about Murdoch--which is particularly relevant since “The Alien” (Royko’s nickname for Murdoch) has control over the “fair and balanced” Fox News. Royko pointed out how damn supercilious Murdoch was: Murdoch thought people were boobs; that was why Murdoch started boob-mentality newspapers or acquired newspapers and then dumbed them down. Fox News is the logical outgrowth of Murdoch’s philosophy.

15. Heck, Am Throwing in This Rant Pending other Google on Judy

The Shrubbites have sold themselves to gullible Dittoheads on TWO main points: 1) That only they can make us secure, 2) that 9-11 confers automatic "heroism" (FREE PASS for anything) on anybody connected with it.

KERIK embodied, just as much as Shrub and GUILIANI, both of these pillars and just happened to collapse more obviously because of being unable to get out from underneath his baggage. The two pillars are made of sand.

What was "heroic" about Shrub-GUILIANI-KERIK at 9-11? They just happened to be in power when it happened. If anything, they should have reaped "finger-pointing". KERIK was stepping out of the shower when the planes hit and joined GUILIANI walking up some streets coated in powder. Shrub showed up days later with his cheerleading megaphone atop a pile of bodies, after days when the people were stunned by the absence of leadership. So much for "heroism".

But the Shrubbites have managed to doublespeak 9-11 into permission and adulation for anything, meaning their arrogance in acting like they can do anything they want. Leading to their sloppiness (arrogance) in screwing up the vetting on KERIK, which, by the way, was the poor performance of Alberto GONZALEZ's shop, another screw-up waiting to happen (GONZALEZ, that is).

This brings us back to "security". The Shrubbites can't VET for the same reason they can't manage "security": Because they only hear what they WANT to hear.

17. Finding the Right Corrupt Appointee is Hard Work

This is a hoot, UTUSN! Too bad it's true:

Finding the Right Corrupt
Appointee Is Hard

Ted Twietmeyer
12-13-4
 
Finding the right man (or a fool) for that tough Washington job who is within the right parameters...is harder than you might think.
 
When someone is "tapped" for a job in Washington, there is only one kind of corruption that is permissible. Can you guess what kind it is ? Lets look at how this works.
 
Based on the data of who's-who in Washington job "appointments" and watching the C-SPAN propaganda network, we can now better understand how this works.  We have seen interviews by subcommittees, where members of the committee even get boiling mad, yet they still approve the man. How can this be ? I've spent some time studying this, and believe I have an answer.
 
 The chart below shows how the sub-committees judge people which they "approve" for posts in Washington. Below is a graph that illustrates how it works. Can we count on one hand, all the appointees Bush wanted since being in office that were turned down ? Perhaps if a man appeared at a hearing naked, would he be refused ? Or would the cameras be turned off when a committee member pulled out a ruler ?

Now his double affair laid bare
Kerik cheated on wife with Judith Regan
and correction officer

.... The tumultuous Regan-Kerik romance carried on for months, through the writing, publication and promotion of his autobiography, "The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice," which Regan's company published.

The two worked out together most mornings at the New York Sports Club in Rockefeller Center and often dined at Fresco restaurant in midtown, according to sources.

Kerik visited Regan's Central Park West apartment almost daily, and occasionally stayed the night, with his police detail camped outside. ....

Kerik's affair with Pinero is at the center of two lawsuits against the city, both brought by correction employees who claimed Kerik retaliated after they crossed her. ....

23. This Post Is from Dec. SECOND, Documenting REGAN's Drooling

over KERIK TWO YEARS AGO, (I'll find out the year his book was published). When I labelled her as his "workout partner" in an earlier thread, I was surmising-----and skeptics claim there is no para-psychology! Here's the 12-2 post:

Judith REGAN, the one behind wingnut Regan Books, used to do an interview show on Faux. He was one of her authors. She was drooling throughout, partly with her desire to mother him in his search for his mother, and partly with lust as she asked him where he was when the 9-11 news broke. He said he was in the shower in his office. Pause. After working out. She was drooling at the image in her mind.

24. Judith Regan is a shrill, shrieking, shrew/sociopath. Read

28. Regan and Kerik are two right wing SOB's!!!!!

Horrible people by any measure!
