The Final Boob Report

As the Sunday pundits dissect the abortive nomination of former Police Commissioner/boob Bernard Kerik to the Department of Homeland Security, Base10 is happy to know that he pegged Kerik as a boob first. It's funny how the national media now seems to resonate with the attitude that they knew it all along.

See this report from the Times. Best quote:

One Democratic Senate staff member, who has been following the nomination process closely and asked not to be identified because of the political sensitivity of the matter, said he was convinced that the nanny question was not the sole reason that Mr. Kerik had dropped out. "Multiple media organizations were pursuing multiple stories" that would be potentially damaging to Mr. Kerik, he said. Because many of these questions had not yet been answered by the administration, the staff member said, "fundamentally, he was a bad pick."

No kidding! And some of the reasons may be here.

The NY Daily News describes the nomination as "an act of monumental hubris."

Base10 thinks that should be the last word.
