Good News For Rudy Guiliani

Judge revokes Bernard Kerik bail,

sends ex-NYPD top cop to jail for trying to taint jury pool

A judge tossed former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik in jail for trying to taint the jury pool via the Internet Tuesday - days before the top cop's corruption trial starts.

Federal Judge Stephen Robinson approved a prosecution request to revoke Kerik's bail after they discovered non-public documents placed on a Web site affiliated with Kerik's defense.

"I fear he has a toxic combination: self-minded focus and arrogance," the White Plains federal judge said.

That combination shows Kerik feels "the end justifies the means" and that "the rulings of the court are inconvenient and are to be ignored," Robinson said.

Kerik was led away by U.S. marshals after removing his belt, tie and shoelaces, standard procedure for all prisoners.

As you might recall Kerik was Rudy Guiliani's choice for head Homeland Security util he was forced to withdraw his nomination when it turned out he had more skeletons in his closet than a mausoleum.  I don't think Rudy was invited back to the White House after that.
