There’s this procedure called a “background check”…

So the guy Bush wanted for homeland security turns out to have had a nanny problem, alleged mob ties, and, we now learn via the Daily News, was conducting two simultaneous secret affairs, one with publishing magnate Judith Regan. (Actually the News calls it “Kerik’s triple play — wife, 2 galpals.”)

Wow.

Apparently when Kerik’s name came up in the White House, everyone’s eyes glazed over and they all just started chanting “9/11…9/11…”
