No comment, on any number of levels.

I'll forgive him the typos; it was e-mail. As for the content, I shake my head.
It will be interesting to see where Wheeler and Naito go with the moonlighting.
Posted by Jack Bog | February 26, 2007 5:13 PM
It's not just the typo level. He also forgot the "not" between "do" and "calim", leading to several other levels of hilarity.
Posted by b!X | February 26, 2007 5:14 PM
He does seem to have a problem with misuse of the word "not."
Posted by Jack Bog | February 26, 2007 5:18 PM
So Jack, are you going to take him up on his offer to speak to you directly?
Posted by John Rettig | February 26, 2007 6:27 PM
Since Bernie is probably reading this....I think it's time he looked into getting FireFox.
It comes with a FREE spell checker!

Well, this can happen to anyone, after all - recall the so-called "Wicked Bible" version printed in 1795 that omitted the word "not" in Exodus 20:14, leading to the commandment "Thou shall commit adultery".
Posted by John Rettig | February 26, 2007 6:31 PM
Wicked Bible?
Around here we call that Bernie's Bible.
Posted by puddlejumper | February 26, 2007 7:05 PM
Forget about Bernie, he is a lost soul I have met so many people like this who can convince themselves nothing they do is wrong - they only need to explain it to you.
I kind of thought of the sheriff as being a role model, but when you start with the basic Bernie, what do you expect from spoiled goods? This guy was gone from the minute he was sleeping with Neil's wife.
I just don't understand how he finds women dumb enough to sleep with him.
Posted by Steve | February 26, 2007 7:10 PM
I second the question: Jack, are you going to take him up on his offer to speak with him about this?
I, for one, would love to hear about that conversation. On many levels. And I urge you to take him up on it!
Posted by Brian | February 26, 2007 7:31 PM
If we're voting here, I'd rather see you spend your available time blogging than being bloviated upon.
Posted by Allan L. | February 26, 2007 7:34 PM
Jack, when you meet with Bernie, ask him for more details about his knowledge, whereabouts, concerning Neil and the raping of a fourteen year old; and not reporting it. Ask him also about the incident with Neil up at Washington Park. Have him put his responses into writing.

I agree with the last comment. Biting commentary is far funnier using secondhand information and ignoring the actual people involved. It's much more entertaining to encourage the Sheriff's constituents to call/email with their complaints while simultaneously scoffing at the opportunity to have a one-on-one discussion that most of us will never have.
Maybe I'm alone in this opinion, but frankly, I'd rather have the Sheriff's staff spend their time on law enforcement than fielding questions from gossip columnists about our local Monica-gate. Way to take attention from the real issues our state faces.

"Last comment" referring to the one by Allan L., not lw.

I think we need a special prosector to look into these tawdry allegations. Let's see if Judge Larry is available: I'd love to see him go mano-a-mano with Bernie.
Posted by Mister Tee | February 26, 2007 9:55 PM
I vote: Have a chat with him.
Posted by D man | February 27, 2007 9:24 AM
It wouldn't hurt to send him a copy of 'The Elements of Style' either.
Posted by tom | February 27, 2007 10:25 AM
Out of all the "helpers" in society, teachers, nurses, firefighters, police, no one is dumber than the average cop.
No one. Including my nephew working the burbs. Nice kid, not that sharp. Working on his third marriage and he ain't even 30.
And here's the proof. A NY police department that refuses to hire smart applicants because smart people know how boring and mind-numbing police work is on a daily basis.
Read it and weep, Bernie.

Didn't Bernie drive Neil's limo when he was out looking for girls?

"I have conducted myself as an unmarried."
Me too, Bernie. Me too.

I predict a follow-up from the Stallion expressing (possible irony alert) righteous indignation that you published his message here. These political types aren't too clear on what's actually public record - ask Karlock.
I assume you checked the IP adddress.

I may be society's dumbest helper, but I'm pretty sure the article says Connecticut not NY. And I didn't see any reference to boring and mind-numbing there either. You might want to use some of that big IQ of yours on reading comprehension. I recognize its a small, petty point, but after reading your post, I don't think I was the first one to be petty. Now please excuse me, I'm going to play a challenging game of Chutes and Ladders.
Posted by JP | February 27, 2007 5:43 PM
It was the New London, Conn. police chief who said he did not hire smart people becase police work is so boring.
It is widely-known as the "Bernie Kerik" rule in law enforcement circles.

My mistake on the city, not the actual story.
Posted by Daphne | March 1, 2007 12:36 PM
'Ol Bernie's either got a short memory or he doesn't read his email.
I took exception to his quote (or something like it) of "we be 'jail'n'. If you want us to be the Arkansas of the west coast...".
I emailed him several month's ago and said that his comments made him look stupid and to definately leave Arkansas out of it. He's not from there so butt out.
