Couldn't Have Happened To a Nicer Guy

From the New York Daily News, complete with mugshot goodness:

Bernard Kerik — former NYPD police commissioner, one-time Homeland Security Secretary nominee, national Sept. 11 hero — has a new label. Inmate No. 210-717.

Kerik got his assigned number at the Westchester County jail after becoming the first NYPD commissioner to wind up behind bars when a judge revoked his bail Tuesday for trying to taint the jury pool in his upcoming corruption trial. ...

"Mr. Kerik has a toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance that leads him to believe that the ends justify the means, that rules that apply to all don't apply to him in the same way, that rulings of the court are an inconvenience," [judge Stephen] Robinson said.
