Kerik's defense: 9/11 9/11 9/11

Feds: Bernard Kerik's a scammer who ripped off city
BY THOMAS ZAMBITO and GREG B. SMITH

Bernard Kerik lied, schemed and sold out the city - all under the nose of his mentor and pal, presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.

In meticulous detail, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia assembled count after count painting Kerik as a money-grubbing liar who tried to cover his tracks. The indictment says the misdeeds took place as Giuliani promoted his former driver to the top levels of his administration, from running city prisons to heading the largest police force in America.

Yesterday, Kerik, 52, stood ramrod straight in a white shirt, red tie and navy blue jacket to declare "not guilty, your honor" in court, moments before being freed on a $500,000 bail bond backed up by his New Jersey mansion.

Outside, he could not resist bringing up Sept. 11: "The worst challenges until this time were my challenges during and after 9/11. This is a battle I'm going to fight."

1. 9/11 made him a crook?
If I ever get arrested for anything that will be my defense. 9/11 made me do it.

4. 9/11 can change a person. It made Rudy find the 2nd amendment. Soon I bet it will
help him to support a constitutional amendment against abortion. Just watch.

2. Trying times
tend to reveal the real heroes and the real crooks
when the dust settles. Kervik falls into the crooks
category with ease, right beside Ruby Julianna.

3. Ghouliani taught him the mantra
and realizes what a threat this prosecution is to his candidacy.

5. He should get
nine to 11 for his crimes. That would be poetry to my ears.
