Kerik withdraws his nomination
I guess Bernie Kerik won't be the Defender of the Homeland afterall:
It's better that Kerik won't take the post, I suppose. He wasn't particularly qualified, so it's better that it just wasn't to be.
In a surprise move, former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik abruptly withdrew his nomination as President Bush (news - web sites)'s choice to be homeland security secretary Friday night, saying questions have arisen about the immigration status of a housekeeper and nanny he employed.Link.
The decision caught the White House off guard and sent Bush in search of a new candidate to run the sprawling bureaucracy of more than 180,000 employees melded together from 22 disparate federal agencies in 2003 to guard the nation against terrorist attacks.
It's better that Kerik won't take the post, I suppose. He wasn't particularly qualified, so it's better that it just wasn't to be.
