WHITE PLAINS, New York (Reuters) - Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik pleaded guilty on Thursday to lying to White House officials and tax evasion charges in a deal that could send him to prison for almost three years. Kerik, who as head of the police department stood beside former Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the time of the September 11, 2001, attacks, also admitted receiving apartment renovations from a construction firm suspected of organized crime ties and that he helped...

Kerik abused confidential evidence in the case, Robert Hadad, spokesman for the district attorney's office, told AFP. "The government... Read Full Story
The terror attack on the World Trade Center, which made New York City's police commissioner a national figure, may not be brought up by the defense at his corruption trial, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. "This is not about 9/11," Judge Stephen Robinson said at a pretrial conference. He said the attack was irrelevant to allegations that former Commissioner Bernard Kerik accepted apartment renovations from a construction company in exchange for recommending the company for city contracts.

While we have seen a bundle of potential 2012 Presidential candidates either endorse or campaign on Bob McDonnell's behalf in Virginia, I believe Giuliani campaigning for McDonnell is either to raise his political profile amongst a fellow Republican Gubernatorial candidate who is all but secured a victory at this point, or Giuliani is attempting to expand a fundraising base for a possible run at the United States Senate. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/66981717.html A Republican...

When he announced his Gandhi-like intentions to root for Boston in the 2007 post-season, Rudy learned the hard way what most of us learn in the schoolyard: The only good Redsock fan is a whipped and spiritually beaten one. So let's give them another dose of culture. Autumn in New England Goblin face with tortured eyes, Crusted skins on pumpkin pies, Leaves a-crumbling, brown and red, Like Ted Williams' head. . Children kicking there and here, Soccer with the frozen sphere! Playing near the... Read Full Story

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Suffice it to say that in U.S. Magistrate Judge Wallace Dixon's opinion, ousted Duke University golfer Andrew Giuliani's lawsuit against the school did not make par. Dixon sprinkled golf lingo and even a quote from the movie "Caddyshack'' into his written ruling that Giuliani's claim flew off the fairway and landed out of bounds. Dixon recommended dismissal of the lawsuit against Duke by the son of former New York City... Read Full Story
I'm still soaking in the fact that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has decided to come out against gay marriage.
When I moved to Manhattan, Rudy was still mayor; and I thought it was really cool that a Republican supported the gay community so much.
Now, that all seems to have changed. On Monday, the New York Post quoted Giuliani as saying marriage "both traditionally and legally, has always been between a man and a woman and should remain between a man and a woman... Read Full Story
