From the Clinton Inc news network, an article that hasn't been removed yet. Better save a copy before it disappears!

New York's two senators, both Democrats, expressed support for Kerik's nomination.

"If ever a state deserves to have a citizen appointed to [head the Department of] Homeland Security, it is New York," said Sen. Charles Schumer.

"Bernard Kerik knows firsthand the challenges and needs of New York and other high-threat areas," Sen. Hillary Clinton said in a statement. "As a member of the president's Cabinet, he can make that case every single day."

Do your own work....it is clear and only logical that the nomination was put forward without any knowledge that other stuff was coming out.

It's also logical to think that greedy senators would endorse one of their "own", especially if it could mean more money for the state.

It is also fair to say that Kerik gained a positive rep with his N.Y. City work.

Moviegoers Flee Tom's 'Lions For Lambs'; Flock To Films With Jerry, Denzel, Russell; Vince's 'Fred Claus' Only Manages Third
SUNDAY AM: I heard Tom Cruise did Lions For Lambs for "virtually nothing" to help kick-start his revival of United Artists. Without that, the R-rated movie starring Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, who also directed, never would have gotten off the ground. Maybe that would have been kinder. Because even with a very moderate budget of $35 million, the political polemic was killed by moviegoers and reviewers alike this weekend, opening to a paltry $6.5 million from 2,215 theaters with an anemic per screen average as well. Even with only a 92-minute running time, the pic even fell far short of the studio's rock-bottom expectations of $8 million.
