Let's See

So Rudy Guliani said the following today regarding his friend, someone who Bush wanted to head the Department of Homeland Security, Bernie Kerik:

"I think voters should look at it, and what they should say is in that particular case I made a mistake," Giuliani said during a press conferred in Dubuque, Iowa. "I made a mistake in not clearing him effectively enough, and I take the responsibility for that"

"But when you balance that mistake against all the successes that we had and the reality that you make some mistakes and you make some correct decisions, I think the overwhelming record is a record of great success," the New York Republican added..

I have said this many times before regarding Guliani: If not for 9/11 he would have gone down as one of the most hated, unpopular mayors in New York City. His approval ratings were about the same as Bush's currently are and a lot of the things which caused failures during 9/11 that he was in charge of are going to come out if he gets nominated.

But back to Guliani's friend he just got indicted on tax fraud, corruption, and conspiracy counts. If you think Guliani didn't know about this you are wrong.
