Kerik took a roundtrip back to obscurity by withdrawing his name from consideration for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Why? Seems he never paid social security taxes for a former nanny/housekeeper. Tax evasion is illegal. The identical situation has felled executive appointments in the past -- most famously in 1992 to Zoe Baird, Clinton's first nominee for Attorney General, and then immediately again to Kimba Wood, Clinton's second nominee for Attorney General.
My big question: who can Bush find who won't mind being known as runner-up to this Kerik?
