Words of Wisdom from Bernard Kerik, Part One

"I understand, probably more than anyone, what a threat Iraq was and the people that threatened Iraq was. I was beneath the towers on September 11th when they fell. And I -- again, I just -- I want to thank the President for the honor in allowing me to go there, because I lost 23 people. I wear this -- this memorial band for the 23 I lost."

-- Bernard Kerik, October 3, 2003, standing next to President Bush at the White House South Lawn. Iraq, it turns out, never had anything to do with 9/11.

This furrin policy stuff is pretty cool.

I mean, it beats busting Brooklyn homies for dime bags.

Give Kerik a break! Making false statements about Iraq for Bush is no worse than making false statements for a mob business.

Of course he was beneath the Towers. That's because his idiotic boss put the city's emergency command center in an adjacent building!

Wait.

Iraq had...nothing to do with 9/11??

But, but...the propaganda machine *insisted*!

You're not implying that El Presidente and his coterie lied, that they're not trustworthy, are you?

"And he wore a kingly crown;
And in his grasp a sceptre shone;
On his brow this mark I saw -
'I AM GOD, AND KING, AND LAW!'"
