Ex-NYPD police commissioner Bernie “too corrupt for Bush” Kerik has taken over $75,000 dollars in royalties for writing 11 lines (!) in a book dedicated to raising money for the victims of the September 11 World Trade Center attacks:
Former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik accepted thousands of dollars in royalties from a book published to raise money for the families of heroes killed on Sept. 11, 2001, the Daily News has learned.
Kerik contributed an 11-sentence foreword to the book of photographs, titled “In the Line of Duty,” in which he praised police and firefighters who “desperately fought and struggled and bled and died in a noble effort.”
“Theirs is a story beyond words; a story of bravery, fidelity and sacrifice; a story that must never be forgotten,” Kerik wrote.
Kerik’s royalties on the book have so far totaled $75,954.52, sources told The News.
