..was Bernie Kerik thinking?  The "nanny" issue was the least of it, although the spectre of an illegal alien living in the Homeland Security chief's house is hilariously funny.  Did he think the arrest warrants, the simultaneous mistresses, the illegal work on his house (as well as in it), the millions he made selling products to that selfsame agency would go unnoticed?  By whom? Well, congress perhaps, and maybe the media, given their Casper Milquetoast take on the war.  But frustrated Kerry supporters/Bush haters?  Not on your f***ing life!

..was Rudy Giuliani thinking?  Here is a guy who was about to get run out of NYC before he lucked into 9/11.  He parlayed 9/11 into untold wealth, a position as "America's Mayor" and frontrunner status as the GOP presidential nominee in 2008.  And he knows this guy.  Knows him well.  Knows him very, very well.  So he drops Bernie's name in Bush's ear, and W. trots right out and announces his appointment.  Now Rudy's presidential aspirations are Milquetoast. (This is more fun than a human being should be allowed to have!)

..was George Bush thinking?  Oh, I forgot.

..were "senior administration officials thinking when they stated that "there had been no way to discover- without Mr. Kerik volunteering the information- that his family's nanny was most likely an illegal alien, or that he had failed to pay the proper taxes related to her employment."*  Say what?  May I volunteer some help, since this selfsame issue has laid low a number of high profile nominees in the very recent past.

   (1)  Mr. Kerik, do you have a nanny for your children?

   (2)  Is she legal?

   (3)  Will you please provide documentation to that effect?

..were the American people thinking when they gave these clowns four more years to run the world?

But I have to admit it, watching this bunch of bumbling bobbleheads trying to get anything right is great fun.  This may be better than having Kerry in the White House.  Once we got over the cheap thrill of watching the Bushies slink out and hire attorneys the fun would have ended.  Now our perverse pleasure is going to increase exponentially, in lock step with The Bush Administration's gaffes.

Four more years!  Four more years!  Four more years!
