Rudy's Approval for Judi's Police Driver (PooperGate/BootyGate) came from ...(wait) BERNIE KERIK!!

Hmmmm. The person who is providing der Fuhrer Rudolph the excuse for Judi's Security and Dog-Walking Detail is none other than (TA-DAA!) BERNIE KERIK, the serial liar and fraud -- recently indicted on 16 counts and facing a possible 147 years in federal prison!

Now how's that for a fine howdy-doo?

A source involved with the mayor's operations at the time tells CBS station WCBS-TV in New York that Nathan took flagrant advantage of that police car and driver.

The source says Nathan forced police to chauffeur her friends and family around the city - even when she wasn't in the car.

That set off alarms with ethics watchdogs.

"The rules are clear, you can't use city resources for private reasons," said Gene Russianoff of the New York Public Interest Research Group. "And if you're using a city car, a police driven car to chauffeur around relatives, unless they're explicitly protected and their deemed to be the subject of potential security threats, it's just wrong."


Nathan's detail was approved by the NYPD after a stranger made an unspecified threat to her. The commissioner at the time was Bernard Kerik, who was recently indicted on tax fraud charges in an unrelated matter.

"It wasn't about her being the mayor's girlfriend," Kerik said. "The person spoke to her by name and made comments to her."


On Friday, Giuliani avoided reporters' questions about the security for Nathan back then. He told reporters off camera "we've explained it."

Giuliani's press secretary, Maria Comella, angrily denounced the use of an unnamed source in this story.

But she did not deny the assertion that Nathan used her police detail to ferry around friends and family.

Let me see if I have this right. Rudolph illegally misallocated money to hide his mistress expenses and keep the Mayor's public budget low -- so he could boink two mistresses at the same time and simultaneously claim he had lowered the cost of the Mayor's Office. His pal Bernie Kerik provided the excuse for Judi's protection, a stranger supposedly made a death threat to her and Kerik approved the police detail and drivers. Of course that detail ended up walking her dog and driving her relatives around! But I digress.

Rudy's excuse for avoiding a Class E felony like Hevesi, who had his wife chauffered around by the state, depends on Kerik, recently indicted on 16 counts of fraud and tax evasion and looking at a possible 147 years in prison.

Isn't that convenient...

Please recommend if you think this is an important point.
