Tom Ridge resigns

[Danocrat]

on CNN now

1. OKI folks, something is up. There are too many rats jumping ship!

[TexasChick]

7. What, autorank? What do you mean by something is up? I'm not good

with this politics stuff, so can you give me an idea of what you think might be up. Could the smirking Chimp be possibly facing impeachment or possibly Satan Cheney?

[autorank]

9. I'm always sure Satan is involved with these guys but...

TexasChick, what's with everybody and their uncle jumping ship. It's not like * is going to need new personnel. Just too many leaving at one time for me not to wonder if something really shocking will be popping up soon. Ridge in particular is of interest. He knows where a lot of bodies are buried and I'm not sure * would want someone with his knowledge level and slavish loyalty to leave. Maybe the Inquirer is about to publish picture of of * and Condi, who knows. It's interesting.

Keep the faith in TX. Commuted there weekly years ago when I had a great consulting gig in Dallas. Loved Austin and San Antonio and even managed to have many good times in Dallas.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

10. Hmm, interesting indeed. Thanks for the info, autorank! I didn't know

that about Ridge; knowing where the bodies are buried and such. I thought he was just a goon to spew out those orange alerts on cue! Are we about to witness history in the making that will make Watergate look like child's play? We shall see....

14. BROWN ALERT! BROWN ALERT!

Good riddance, Ridge!

[TexasChick]

16. Oh, now that's disgusting! LOL!!!! n/t

2. I feel safer already.

3. It really is Christmas, isn't it???

Who will tell me when the light turns orange now?

4. That wasn't expected.

Look for blanket pardons from Bush.

[Killarney]

5. Who wants to bet Guiliani will be tapped for this?

[asjr]

8. I think Guiliani has set his sights higher, but this would

be a stepping stone to higher office. He received much good publicity on 9/11. But does he really want to be part of this administration. If he does he is dumber than dumb.

[shuffnew]

11. Guiliani is NOT for that office or any office...

When Guiliani stood up on national TV and defended the administration for missing weapons and said it was not the Bush Adm. fault, that it was our solidiers fault - I will NEVER have any respect for this man. He is a Bushie kiss ---! No respect for even for our military men!

[Atman]

6. This isn't news

Ridge's likely resignation was announced well before the election.

Although, I do agree, something IS up. I think the only reason they couldn't/didn't jump ship before 11/2 was because it would make Chimpy look bad. Um...worse? Anyway, good ridance on Ridge. It was probably part of his deal with Chimpy for letting them bring the plane down in his state. "Just stay a year, Tommy-Boy! You'll make a fuckload of money, and you won't really have to do any work! Just like me!"

12. Good riddance. I can't stand Mr. Blockhead

and the way he bounces his head forward when he speaks. Maybe that's why they picked him, because he had the same annoying habit as Der Fuhrer.

[AnIndependentTexan]

13. before you start getting excited remember he could replace him with

someone FAR WORST. He's already done that on all the others. What is to make you think he won't with this?

15. Speaking of Tom Ridge..

does anyone know if the terror level alert has ever been anything but orange and yellow since it started being used? Has it ever gone up to Red? Has it ever been down to green or blue?
