Kerik Supporters Outraged By Criminal Justice System

by Balk posted @10:25 AM


I had no idea we were handing out special dispensations for those who performed well at their jobs in the aftermath of 9/11, but if that's the case—and it seems to be the argument here—then we certainly should allow former New York City police commissioner Bernie Kerik, imprisoned after giving a supporter sealed court records from his current corruption case, a free pass. I mean, it's only fair.

    Let us also never forget about those who direct well-regarded moving pictures.

    Say what you want about Kerik. You're paying for his housing right now. I suppose that keeps him off the streets, preventing him from harming society with further renovations on his house.

    I believe the Accomplishment Compensation Act of 2008 allows for the following:

    Directed critically acclaimed film – 1 free rape.
    Performed heroically in 9/11 – 1 free corruption pass.
    Composed stinging blog memo – 1 free theft of retail goods valued less the $1,000.

    Many times there is a considerable time lag from the time a prisoner checks in until he/she is allowed his/her prescription drugs. This can sometimes lead to a difficult adjustment period. If you just wait it out, Geraldo, I'm sure Bernie's troubles may straighten out in time.

    Balk, ever the provocateur.

    Was kind of banking on Geraldo busting a vessel at some point, but no luck.

    The Idiot punditocracy eats its own. And why is Bo Dietl on television, anyway?
