Typical of how Washington works. Bernard Kerick was nominated to be Homeland Security Secretary. Forget the fact that he'd make $6.5 million in stock options as a consultant with Taser International -- a company that sold stun guns to the Department and wanted to sell even more. You can ride out being in bed with a big government contractor. Just ask VP Dick Cheney -- or anyone at Halliburton.
Forget the lawsuits over unpaid condo fees, the sex scandal involving a relationship in the NYC Correction Department, and the fact he filed for bankruptcy a few years back.
Nope. It was the immigrant nanny that's derailed so many other government nominees that took out Bernie Kerik. (NYT)
