Now why doesn't this surprise me?
Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, pleaded guilty today to two misdemeanor charges as the result of accepting tens of thousands of dollars of gifts and a loan while he was a city official in the late 1990's.
He entered the pleas, one to a violation of the city charter and the other of the city administrative code, in a Bronx courtroom before Justice John P. Collins and was sentenced to a total of $221,000 in fines. He was accompanied by three lawyers and three supporters for the proceeding, which lasted about 10 minutes.
Speaking in a quiet voice, Mr. Kerik admitted that he had accepted renovations to his Bronx apartment from a company he believed to be "clean."
Remember - Kerik was Bush's pick to head Homeland Security. He pulled out after his background came under heavy scrutiny. Chertoff is Bush's second pick to this criminal. Now is there any question why FEMA is so screwed up?

How could Giuliani not know?
Heretic, it is not a matter of "knowing" or not A¢a‚¬a€œ it is the matter that one criminal can easily overlook or ignore another criminal's criminality. Just look at Bushco and his Republican Guard as perfect examples.
