According to the NY Post and John PODHORETZ No. "The Kerik fiasco isn't even a bump on the road."

I heard that Rudy used a lot of his "capital" by urging the President to nominate Kerik.

The Post is in damage control mode . Expect a lot more from the Reublican noise machine as this story unfolds to protect one of their golden boys.

Also the NY Post thinks: KERIK'S WITHDRAWAL "he's a patriot for doing the right thing when it truely matters."

Is making the Preident look like a fool the patriot thing to do?
