The Kerik controversy gets more interesting. A tale of two women…

Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik conducted two extramarital affairs simultaneously, using a secret Battery Park City apartment for the passionate liaisons, the Daily News has learned. The first relationship, spanning nearly a decade, was with city Correction Officer Jeanette Pinero; the second, and more startling, was with famed publishing titan Judith Regan.

Dramatically, each woman learned of the existence of the other after Pinero discovered a love note left by Regan in the apartment.

To most women, Kerik is now a jerk. To most guys, he’s a stud. To Rudy, he’s an embarrassment. Same for Bush. What say you?

P.S. Try again Jeff.

Democrat John Kerry is asking county elections officials to allow his witnesses to inspect the 92,000 ballots cast in Ohio in which no vote for president was recorded, a Kerry lawyer said Sunday night.

The request is one of 11 the Kerry campaign made in a letter sent over the weekend to Ohio’s 88 county boards of election, which will begin recounting presidential ballots this week.

“We’re trying to increase the transparency of the election process,” said Donald McTigue, the lawyer handling the recount for the Kerry campaign. But he added that several requests – such as using independent experts to check election equipment, “are trying to push the edge of envelope.”

Why won’t they stop?

AP: Bernard Kerik withdraws his name from top Homeland Security post.

More: Drudge rolls with the rumor – “Washington stunned by Friday night release of Bernard Kerik from consideration of homeland security secretary. Reports claim Kerik withdrew due to ‘Nanny Problem’…possibly had an illegal alien baby-sitting his kids and failed to properly report her taxable income.”

Kerik Statement: Here.

Still More: Kerik says withdrawing was the “right thing to do“. Still, rumors are rolling as to the real reason he removed his name from consideration. Not only is the “nanny” issue out there, but some suggest that he has gained financially from illicit connections.
