A Series of Unfortunate Events

Adding insult to injury — or just a case of utter hubris — Bernard Kerik now announces he is resigning effective immediately from Rudy Giuliani’s consulting firm:

At a news conference in Manhattan, Kerik said he had apologized to Giuliani for being a distraction because of his messy withdrawal as a candidate to head the Department of Homeland Security.

. . .

The string damaging allegations dogging Kerik have inlcuded: two alleged extramarital affairs, allegations of sending inside information to friends with suspected mob ties about an impending city investigation into their business affairs, and unpaid immigration taxes on a nanny who was not a U.S. citizen.
