is the media is deliberately playing down the bernard kerik story?

honestly folks, i thought that a four year sentence for a former bu$h* homeland security nominee would garner a few more blips on the radar screen

Former bu$h* Homeland Security Nominee Bernard Kerik gets 4 years on felony charges

White Plains, New York (CNN) -- Ex-New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik was sentenced to 48 months in prison Thursday after pleading guilty to charges of lying to Bush administration officials who vetted his unsuccessful 2004 nomination for homeland security secretary.

The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson, exceeded the 27- to 33-month prison term recommended by federal prosecutors.
"With great power comes great responsibility and comes great consequences," Robinson said in court.

Kerik, accompanied by his wife and son, addressed the court before his sentencing.
"I make no excuses," the former police commissioner said. "I take full responsibility for my actions. I have learned from this. I know I will be punished, but I only wish you would allow me return to my wife and two little girls as soon as possible."

Kerik, 54, pleaded guilty in November to tax fraud and six other felonies and has been under house arrest in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, since then.He must surrender to authorities to begin his sentence by May 17.
After the sentencing, Kerik told reporters he wanted to "apologize to the American people for the mistakes I've made and for which I have just accepted responsibility."

It's only a matter time before he shows up on FUX News with a big fat (D) after his name.

You know it's coming.

Big time Republicans going to jail are a dime a dozen.

so the corporate media will squelch this one, otherwise it would be an ACORN-type story all over becKKK's blackboard today.

If this were a Democrat, then things would be different.

Bernard Kerik story?

Who's Bernard Kerik?

of teabaggers bashing Obama - and, in all fairness, I just can't seem to recall any of that happening when Bush was rallying his illegal wars.

GUILTY OF SEVEN FELONY CHARGES

former police commissioner of new york city

A suicidal/homicidal anti-tax freak, a plane, a house fire, an office building, a rambling suicide manifesto versus the court system working somewhat? Which one is bleeding; which one is leading?

Thank you for knowing what is going on, spanone.

Know your BFEE: Homeland Czar & Petro-Turd Bernie Kerik

We live in gangster times.

from DRIVER to COMMISSIONER.....he must have been a genius or a crook...we know which now

and nominated by george w bu$h* to HEAD THE OFFICE OF HOMELAND SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.....think about it, i know you do, but CONVICTED of 7 felonies.

and remember Obama and his tony rezko supposed connection? tell me republicans don't get a pass?

Kerik's been sitting on the 'top stories' list on most websites I've visited today. Since he never actually became an appointee and the charges including lying to federal officials, I don't think your theory holds any water.
