"Regan's Revenge on Rupert Ropes in Rudy" - NEWSCORP, FOX BUSTED HELPING RUDY RUN!
Edited on Tue Nov-13-07 09:35 PM by johnfunk
American Politics Journal nails it with the above headline and their first graf:
The first shoe drops in Judith Regan's lawsuit against NewsCorp, and it's a 200-ton Blahnik.

This evening, The New York Times reports that Regan asserts in legal documents that an executive with the Rupert-Murdoch-owned company tried to convince her to mislead investigators about her torrid affair with Bernard B. Kerik at a time that Kerik was under consideration for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. The executive asked her to do this not to protect Kerik but to shield former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who was putting the first stages of a presidential run into place.



Buthere's the money graf:
One of Ms. Regan’s lawyers, Brian C. Kerr of the firm Dreier L.L.P., said she possesses evidence to support her claim that she was advised to lie to federal investigators who were vetting Mr. Kerik. But Mr. Kerr declined to discuss the nature of the evidence.
Hmmm... New York is a "one party consent" state when it comes to taping phone calls, which means Ms. Regan could tape in-state calls without letting the other party know their verbiage was being immortalized.

...

UPDATE! TheSmokingGun.com has the smokin' complaint. Cue up the Happy Happy Joy Joy Song and give 'er a read!

1. It's not "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? . . ."
But "how many albatrosses can a presidential candidate carry around his neck?"

3. Thanks, Zidzi.
Now I don't have to say it. I might not have been as succinct.

13. How many will the public really find out about, though?
Rudy has been practically sainted in the media since 9/11.

6. You know what they say...
..."Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Usually, when someone has the goods on these bastids, that person has some measure of protection -- that's how the mob works and it is very effective. However, the mob is also a boy's club, and women seldom get the same consideration, which seems to have been the case here. Well as they also say, there's no honor among thieves.

Ms. Regan is no favorite of mine -- but in this case, you go girl! Take 'em all down with you -- Giuliani, Kerik, Ailes, Murdoch -- it all sounds good to me!

7. AwRiiiiGHT!!1 So, Senorita REGAN is about to become SANTA Judy?!1
So PIRRO recruited Bernie on the principle that it takes a philanderer to catch a philanderer? Plus, MSRNC just relayed this story, labelling Bernie as "9-11 HERO"!!!1 I've always wondered what exactly Bernie (and Rudy) did that was "heroic"!!!1

*******QUOTE*******

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/27/AR2006092701378.html

.... ...Pirro was overheard by authorities having a telephone conversation with former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik in the middle of last year. They said that Pirro suspected her husband, Albert Pirro, might be having an affair and that she and Kerik, a private security consultant, discussed possibly placing a recorder in a room to listen in on him.

The two people said that the recording device was never used and that a Kerik investigation turned up no firm evidence of an affair. Kerik's attorney declined to comment on the case.

Pirro said Kerik was a friend and confirmed that they had spoken about her marital concerns. ....

********UNQUOTE*******

So here's a fond look at what Bernie was doing on 9-11 (stepping out of the shower), and his blast from the past, Judith REGAN. A couple of her men (the last graphic being an abstract of LIMBOsevic, since she published the first (two?) of his books, ghost-written (the 1st, at least) by alleged assaulter John FUND):



*********QUOTE********

http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/media/columns/medialife/152/

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

http://www.zianet.com/insightanalytical/newlow.htm (by DUer Gloria: )

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

**********UNQUOTE***********

And I (the poster) will claim credit for insight. Back when KERIK's book for REGAN was debutting, she hosted him on her Faux interview show. His tale was of his missing mother, who inexplicably abandoned him as a tot. She never showed up for a custody hearing. The premise of the book was that this tough uber-male had this hole in his heart, thereby setting the pants on fire of tough wingnuts of all genders. As she probed him about the book, she and KERIK locked smouldering,WILD WINGNUT HOT gazes. Once the mother-thing was done, she moved on to his heroics (which were what?) on 9-11. She asked WHERE HE WAS when the planes hit. Without missing a WILD WINGNUT HOT eye-lock, he said, "Stepping out of the shower." She swallowed and held a long breath. The image of nekkid KERIK was plainly etched on the Faux camera lens during the LONG pause. He added, "In my office." Another LONG pause. He added, "After WORKING OUT." There was another swallow. I suspected BACK THEN that something was cooking between publisher and author, and it weren't spaghetti. Only 2 or 3 years later, when KERIK's many other past deeds floated to the surface like dead bodies did it become official that there was indeed WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE between the two, that the two of them alternated their WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions with WORKING OUT together, that he had used NYPD to track down what happened to his mother, that he used NYPD to provide security for his personal WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVE sessions, that the WILD WINGNUT HOT LOVENEST was a city-paid apartment near the WTC intended as a rest site for rescue and recovery workers. The REGAN-KERIK Faux interview was pure musk in the air. Why don't Shrub's handlers hire some of US for intelligence work?

8. That two-timing Rupert.
I thought he was supposed to be supporting Hillary. I have read it right here at the DU at least 300 times.

Poor Hillary - I hope she can recover.

11. Very possibly, given that even a few GOP candidates claim FOX has a pro-Rudy bias
This is likely to turn into a nightmare for Rupe, Rog and all the FARCE Noise bobbleheads.
