What You Voted For, con't

Calling all values voters.

UPDATE: Apparently the link doesn't work for everybody, so here's the scoop: The story's about how Bernard Kerik, Emperor W's choice for Supreme Magus of Homeland Security, was stalking the former Grandmistress of his Harem after she walked out on him. Here's a snippet:

When Regan ate in a restaurant with another man, Kerik called her cellphone, or had the management page her, said the source. Once he got her on the phone, "He'd describe the man she was having dinner with. He seemed to be watching her through the window," the associate said. He kept a key to her apartment, said another pal, and showed up unexpectedly. On a business trip to Los Angeles, she said, he had her followed.

But what frightened Regan most was a call in which Kerik he claimed to be following her son as he drove back to college in Massachusetts.

"He said, 'I'm following Patrick. I'm at this exit at the turnpike. I want you to know this is where he is,' " the associate recalled.


But, you know what? In all the uproar about this, I haven't seen anyone comment on the obvious: a bizarre freakazoid who stalks people, keeping tabs on what they eat and with whom, and who terrorizes their children, might just be the perfect choice for Homeland Security.
