Fund-Raiser for Bernie Kerik

Friends of former NYPD Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik are throwing him a fund-raiser to help with his legal bills. Kerik was indicted on federal charges including tax fraud and perjury last November and previously pleaded guilty to accepting over $200,000 in gifts while working for the city. According to the Post, this isn't the first time a Kerik fund-raiser has been planned: A source says, "He tried this on the last go-round. But it never got off the ground. No one wanted to come [to his dinners]. People didn't want to be involved with him anymore. His friends all turned their backs on him." Does that include BFF Rudy Giuliani?!? At any rate, the fund-raiser at a NJ hotel has a minimum "donation" of $75 to attend.

When I saw this article I could not believe the gall of some people to actually believe that people would actually spend money to assist this person in escaping the justice he deserves.

He should have been in prison already. Low/High Security or otherwise.

The has been Repub. deserves every plunger that is coming to him.

Spirit of 76 you made me laugh. (comment was so true) =)

He didn't give me a piece of his $200,000 action, why should I give him anything?

HUGO_MEGO bought four tickets. And he's not even going.

I'm sure "Ides of March," "East River" and "NYCSniper" already have their tickets.

This guy, and his ex-boss, needs to be incarcerated.

This is the fine commissioner who used an apartment that was meant for Ground Zero rescue workers to bed two (2) mistresses. I think I can find better ways to spend $75.
