Mike Lupica is being a total Debbie Downer. Just because he remembered about how Rudy Giuliani named a big ol’ building — the city jail! — after Bernie Kerik, Lupica has to go and spoil the Guiliani Legend for the rest of us:
Six years later, that is more interesting than ever, a jail being named after Kerik, just because one of these days he could end up inside one.
First, Giuliani made Kerik – who used to drive him around on weekends – correction commissioner in New York, after Kerik had run one jail in his life, in Passaic County. Then Giuliani made him police commissioner, though Kerik had just a total of eight years on the books as a cop.
So there was Bernie Kerik in charge of the NYPD when the planes hit on Sept. 11, and suddenly he was perceived to be almost as brave and noble as his boss just by standing there next to him. Suddenly, there was this idea that the two of them had somehow looked terrorism in the eye and stared it down, when neither one of them did anything of the kind. All they did was help pick up the pieces along with everybody else.
Boooooooo! Rudy was a hero, remember? A hero! And Bernie Kerik was totally qualified and nobody knew he was mobbed up and Rudy saved 9/11 and one day the Beatles are getting back together!
Is this whole Kerik thing the thin end of the wedge when it comes to prying apart the Giuliani myth?

kerik is old news, when the left counts on smears from a discredited sports writer to carry their water, then things are grim. oh wait…they flock to olberloon too!!! what is it with liberals and lousey sports guys??? i guess the new nbc polls with rudy tying all 3 of the liberal top tier has sparked a new round of smear attempts.
