Even more on your almost Fatherland Security Czar

As the illicit romance between former top cop Kerik and publishing titan Judith Regan went down the drain in late 2002, the jilted Kerik snapped, according to people who knew them both.

He not only followed his ex-lover around town — he seemed to be following her children, two business associates of Regan's told me yesterday.

One associate, who has not seen or spoken to Regan in a year and a half, said, "She had me in her office one day, raving about how he was stalking her." That was in late 2002, long before Kerik came this close to leading Homeland Security.

"He's insane!" Regan told the associate.

When Regan ate in a restaurant with another man, Kerik called her cellphone, or had the management page her, said the source. Once he got her on the phone, "He'd describe the man she was having dinner with. He seemed to be watching her through the window," the associate said. He kept a key to her apartment, said another pal, and showed up unexpectedly. On a business trip to Los Angeles, she said, he had her followed.

But what frightened Regan most was a call in which Kerik he claimed to be following her son as he drove back to college in Massachusetts.

"He said, 'I'm following Patrick. I'm at this exit at the turnpike. I want you to know this is where he is,' " the associate recalled.

While the married Kerik has all but acknowledged that he carried on affairs with not one, but two women in his Battery Park love nest — an apartment that had been originally donated to 9/11 rescue workers — he denied stalking.

And it appears that there was no nanny.

Personally, I think this administration has gotten away with so much criminal activity and so much in-your-face unethical activity, and gotten their questionable nominations approved with amazing ease, so that they rightly assume they can do whatever they want and choose whomever they want to do it with them. Why not Bernard Kerik? Maybe they figure they'll just keep on until they're stopped. Why check themselves? Why not see just how far they can go? There is an unbelievable list of mob connections and fleecing the taxpayers and you-name-it on Kerik. Josh Marshall is covering it. You should read some of it. Talk about head-spinning. If they "vetted" this guy like they say they did, there is no other conclusion but that they wanted to try to fly him in our faces.

We're their abused co-dependent spouse. They'll hit us again.
