Giuliani Partner Bernard Kerik Indicted

Now that Giuliani insider Bernard Kerik has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury, I wonder if the National Corporate media will go after Rudy the way it has gone after John Kerry, Barack Obama, John Edwards and so many others. Kerik was the man that Giuliani recommended to become the Head of Homeland Security when the agency was in it infancy. An embarrassing revelation regarding an undocumented domestic worker who worked in the Kerik Household, and other questions regarding his honesty, led to the withdrawal of his nomination.

This whole episode calls into question (again) Giuliani's judgement. It also begs the question just how close Giuliani was and continues to be, to Bernard Kerik. The two men were the best of friends and were business partners during the time when much of Kerik's criminality was taking place. Was Giuliani involved in any of Keriks shady deals? The mainstream corporate media doesn't even want to go there, because they are wimps. Whatever happened to good investigative journalists who take the time to dig for the story behind the story? There are only a few left... Brian Ross, Bill Moyers, and a small handful of others come to mind. And even they only seem to act only after the bandwagon is full.

It will be interesting to find out who Kerik may implicate (if anyone) in his own defense.

i'm guessing that Kerik will not implicate anyone --he's very loyal and will take the hits by himself.

I do look forward to all Giuliani supporters attempting to explain how Rudy would make such a fantastic president in light of his lack of due diligence for Bernie Kerik.
