Re: heh heh Bernie Kerik (remember him?) calls McClellan "disloyal, sickening, and despicable"

“Having been through all I have been through in the past four years,
disloyalty and betrayal seem more prevalent today than ever before in
my lifetime, and that in itself, to me, is sickening,” Kerik wrote in
his e-mail, which also suggested that writing unflattering memoirs
about working for the president “should be a crime.”

Currently under indictment for multiple counts of fraud, conspiracy
and tax evasion, Kerik is not, at this point, a person the
administration calls upon when it wants to be defended.

But he is a perfect example of what a worthless quality loyalty is in
high government officials.

Kerik is stupendously loyal, which is what endeared him to Rudy
Giuliani, his great patron.

The Bush administration, which also prizes loyalty, shipped him off to
Iraq with the critical job of supervising the rebuilding of the Iraqi
police.

Kerik stayed only three months, during which he devoted himself to
giving interviews and being gregarious, the two things he does very
well.

Management, however, turned out not to be a strong point.

Back home, Bush was embarrassed when Kerik’s Homeland Security
nomination immediately ran aground on reports of his ethics issues.

His downfall was a terrible blow to Giuliani’s presidential candidacy
— although given Rudy’s multitudinous deficiencies as presidential
timber, it’s hard to pick the one that made the difference.

Anyway, there’s the loyalty trade-off for you:

On the one hand, Kerik did a terrible job in a critical assignment in
Iraq, allowed himself to be nominated to a hugely important post for
which he was ill qualified and showed a stupendous lack of interest in
ethical considerations when he served in New York City.

What George Forgot

By GAIL COLLINS

“DISLOYAL, SICKENING AND DESPICABLE DISLOYAL, SICKENING AND
DESPICABLE,” wrote Bernard Kerik in an e-mail that he was circulating
around this week.

Kerik, you may remember, was the former New York City police
commissioner who George W. Bush once tried to make chief of Homeland
Security.

This was during Kerik’s happier, preindictment era.

Kerik’s outrage was directed at Scott McClellan, the former Bush press
secretary whose much-discussed memoir, “What Happened,” reveals that
the Bush White House put politics ahead of truth and openness with the
American people.

I know it’s a shock, but try to be brave.
