So if Judith Regan story has legs--is Rudy finished?

or will the media do all it can to save his butt?

She's saying that a big shot at FAUX news told her to lie about relationship with Kerik to protect Rudy.

I just went in search of answers and found something about it on the greatest page. I haven't been around much and this was the first thread I saw about it.

More here.

NY Times article here.

Judith Regan's full complaint here.

Happy Happy Joy Joy Song here!

Very interesting indeed.

hoisted by their won petard.

As for Rudy, he seems to be crisco coated teflon, hopefully someone will take a stainless steel spatula to him and start to chip away at his no stick coating.

More because of all the dirt that Judy KNOWS! She's been on the inside of a lot of things, and appears to be quite pi**ed! My guess is that she has information that would bury a lot of people!

under the bus by Bush and friends when they became inconvenient to become our strangest bedfellows!

:toast: MKJ

Judy might be too.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Wouldn't News Corp. have already settled if she has tapes, e-mails, etc.?

This could also turn into a Federal Case. If she has not evidence it could turn on her.

I'm shocked that more Americans can't see through him.

and exploited.

Why couldn't they hold onto this story for a few months?

Assuming that Regan has the goods, she could cause him some damage. On the other hand, Regan's not intimating that Giuliani had any role in this and people already know about Bernie Kerik.

What this does do is it brings to the fore Giuliani's relationship with Bernie Kerik and what this relationship says about his judgment. Unfortunately, Giuliani's pre 9/11 judgment or lack thereof may be about as relevant to the average swing voter as the Shrubster's pre-come to Jesus shenanigans.

Teflon is an amazing substance.

So PIRRO recruited Bernie on the principle that it takes a philanderer to catch a philanderer? Plus, MSRNC just relayed this story, labelling Bernie as "9-11 HERO"!!!1 I've always wondered what exactly Bernie (and Rudy) did that was "heroic"!!!1

.... ...Pirro was overheard by authorities having a telephone conversation with former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik in the middle of last year. They said that Pirro suspected her husband, Albert Pirro, might be having an affair and that she and Kerik, a private security consultant, discussed possibly placing a recorder in a room to listen in on him.

The two people said that the recording device was never used and that a Kerik investigation turned up no firm evidence of an affair. Kerik's attorney declined to comment on the case.

Pirro said Kerik was a friend and confirmed that they had spoken about her marital concerns. ....

So here's a fond look at what Bernie was doing on 9-11 (stepping out of the shower), and his blast from the past, Judith REGAN. A couple of her men (the last graphic being an abstract of LIMBOsevic, since she published the first (two?) of his books, ghost-written (the 1st, at least) by alleged assaulter John FUND):

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

http://www.zianet.com/insightanalytical/newlow.htm (by DUer Gloria: )

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

And I (the poster) will claim credit for insight. Back when KERIK's book for REGAN was debutting, she hosted him on her Faux interview show. His tale was of his missing mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a tot. She never showed up for a custody hearing. The premise of the book was that this tough uber-male had this hole in his heart, thereby setting the pants on fire of tough wingnuts of all genders. As she probed him about the book, she and KERIK locked smouldering,WILD WINGNUT HOT gazes. Once the mother-thing was done, she moved on to his heroics (which were what?) on 9-11. She asked WHERE HE WAS when the planes hit. Without missing a WILD WINGNUT HOT eye-lock, he said, "Stepping out of the shower." She swallowed and held a long breath. The image of nekkid KERIK was plainly etched on the Faux camera lens during the LONG pause. He added, "In my office." Another LONG pause. He added, "After WORKING OUT." There was another swallow. I suspected BACK THEN that something was cooking between publisher and author, and it weren't spaghetti. Only 2 or 3 years later, when KERIK's many other past deeds floated to the surface like dead bodies did it become official that there was indeed WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE between the two, that the two of them alternated their WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions with WORKING OUT together, that he had used NYPD to track down what happened to his mother, that he used NYPD to provide security for his personal WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions, that the WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVENEST was a city-paid apartment near the WTC intended as a rest site for rescue and recovery workers. The REGAN-KERIK Faux interview was pure musk in the air. Why don't Shrub's handlers hire some of US for intelligence work?
