It's often said that Bush values loyalty over compentency. In the case of his new Director of Homeland Security, Bernie "Cut-and-Run" Kerik, he's got neither:

As for Homeland Security, let's reiterate Kerik's Iraq credentials. Back in 2002, he signed on for six months in Baghdad to train the Iraqi police.

Neither he nor his top aide, John Picciano, were returning phone calls yesterday, perhaps because they were trying to come up with a credible story for why Kerik bugged out of Baghdad after only three months with no explanation.

(More here.)

Perhaps that's a bit harsh. Kerik's shown plenty of loyalty to Bush, if not to the job he was hired to perform. And Bush certainly can't find fault with someone who goes AWOL.

So those embarassing patdowns by airport security will be replaced by forced sodomy and execution of the unarmed. But only for certain passengers.

Unfortunately, Schumer's already in the tank for this schmuck. And I fear Hillary Clinton will be as well.
