This is a classic case of he said/she said. Unless he can produce more than “I was told” we will never know for sure what really happened

It is not even that. His job was to deal in facts not fantasy. He has absolutely no evidence for this unless he claims to be a mindreader

Ridge, Mel Martinez, and McCain can all vanish from U.S. politics for life and things would be better off...total losers.

“Love how people turn into whores at the direction of their publishers.”

I think you hit the nail on the head. The publisher wanted some “red meat” to help sell the book. Ridge prostituted himself for the publisher. Truth be damned.

On CNN Friday, President Bush's former Homeland Security Adviser Frances Townsend denied Ridge's new claim and said she thinks Ridge is trying to profit by separating himself politically from Bush.

This piece of garbage was the best they could find to put in charge of homeland security after 9/11? Bush really knew how to pick em. You'd think he woulda took a clue when no Democrats were objecting to the idea of giving him the job.

I think it’s a sneak preview of what you can expect to read in a memoir penned by The Dullest Man Alive, Tom Ridge. That’s how I took it anyway.

Ridge did what all politicians do: put his own and his party’s ambition and gain above truth or the good of the nation. Another news flash: water is wet.

Perhaps...but we know that Ridge is absolutely, positively a bald faced liar.

Germany fears terror attacks ahead of elections
July 11th, 2009

Asperg (Germany), July 11 (DPA) Terrorists are planning an attack in Germany ahead of general elections Sep 27, Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Saturday.
He said “friendly” intelligence services had informed their German counterparts of internet discussions about a possible attack designed to disrupt the parliamentary vote.

Was a law broken, assuming what Ridge said in his “Look at me, I wanna sell a book” tour is true?

POSSBILE ANSWERS:
“Yes, a law is broken”...then Ridge should be prosecuted for not reporting.

“No, a law was not broken”...then this is Ridge just rambling.

I feel the same way. I didn’t trust him from day one and, another thing, his mouth is too small for his face.

On March 11, 2004, Islamic terrorists set off the infamous ‘Madrid train bombings’, just before the Spanish elections. The conservative party had been leading, but the Socialists won. I can see where the Bush administration thought that al-Qaeda might have wanted to give John Kerry a similar boost.

I never liked Ridge. He is the epitome of what’s wrong with the Republican Party.

On this you are exactly right.

Mr. Ridge there was a time when you had my respect. Right now you are nothing more than scorpion bait a mind and spine of mush.

The Left is projecting.

This is a trick they wouldn’t hesitate to use.

In fact, they did use a similar trick to pass the stimulus.

They are the scumbags and would do anything for power. I don’t believe Ashcroft or Rumsfeld would do something like this.

Love how people turn into whores at the direction of their publishers.

I never liked Ridge. Pro Abortion Catholics like Ridge are the worst. He's right up there with Sebelius and Kennedy, IMHO.
