Not since Whorealdo got all excited about that vault and got humiliated on national TV has there been such an epic failure by a "News" host.
I think Maddow was under the impression that since Tom Ridge had agreed to be on her show, and since he made the "political pressure" comment, that he was going to lend credence to what she and Olberman had been talking about for years. Maybe he was going to trash republicans on MSNBC to try and pimp his book.
NOT!!!!LOL
Ridge shot down every conspiracy nutroots talking point she threw at him. Ridge totally backed away from his comment (about thinking pressure to raise threat level may have been political), he defended Bush and the decision to invade Iraq, and explained there was no lie-that many intel agencies thought saddam had wmd..and so on and so on. She was a mess! She seemed totally blindsided! She kept going to her notes for some additional quote or point that Ridge immediately would shoot down.
If you have a chance, try and view the entire interview on a rerun overnight. Do not believe selected outtakes or short clips from the interview that try to make her look better-see the whole fiasco for yourself.
If you are a news and politics junkie, you will understand what I mean when I say it was like watching James Carville put the trashcan on his head...SO SATISFYING!
The word ‘homeland’ is creepy to her? Ridge: “Read the book not the dust jacket.” LOL!
She looks like that character named “Pat” that was on “Saturday Night Live” years ago, you couldn’t tell if it was a man or woman.
Unfortunately, “Pat” was satire ~ an SNL skit.
In Butch’s case, she is a real person and she has her own televison show and she is trying to impose her own reality on the former Secretary of Homeland Security.
Personally, I can’t decide if she is an ugly woman or a fugly woman?
I noticed she's on at 9 pm. Hannity must be blowing her away. This video is the first time I've ever watched her show.
The threat level was NOT raised. Evidently there was some discussion about the threat level following OBLs video just prior to the election.
Ridge is an a$$.
Well... Maddow did not get what she wanted from Ridge, but, I think she handled it fairly well and was civil.
There was no there , there. She could not get any traction on her agenda, but, Pwned? Nope, not in my opinion.I have seen the same thing happen to conservative talk show hosts too.
BFD
She needs an Addadicktomy. Maybe Obamacare will cover it.
She’s a dyke. She thinks she’s a man. She’s insane. Get over it.
LOL, Is that the Maddow rule now as laid down by you?
“Well... Maddow did not get what she wanted from Ridge, but, I think she handled it fairly well and was civil.”
Actually, I would have interviewed Ridge just as she did, which was to ask Ridge in 20 different ways the same questions about the controversial passages in his book. The reason being, each time she asked him, you could see Ridge looking down, barely making eye contact, looking shifty and lying through his teeth. She knew it, he knew it, and she gave everyone the opportunity multiple times to examine Ridge’s body language which wasn’t good as he was lying over and over again.
I can’t stand Maddow, but in this particular case, she had a liar on her hands, knew it, tried to play it up, and although she couldn’t crack him on his responses, she could show to the public someone incredibly unconfortable with answering her questions. I can’t stand Ridge, a RINO from the gitgo, a liar, as political as those he was accusing about raising the security level, it’s just that his politics are to say something he knew would be controversial in order to sell his book. Talk about self-serving. Plus, unless incredibly stupid, he had to have known that the far left, like Maddow, was going to take those controversial comments of his and run with it, which she and other leftists did with alacrity. All the talking heads on PMSNBC pounced on it and Ridge thus did no favors to his Party as a whole. I’m sure his fellow Pubs are just delighted with the pot he stirred. Thanks Ridge, we needed you, your book, and your comments, like a whole in the head.
Cupid Stunt.
So, he's either a lying piece of garbage because of what he wrote in the book, or he's a lying piece of garbage for what he said in that interview.
That’s something to do with mental, or masturbation or... both?
For those not acquainted with the cast of characters in the lesbian netherworld, the scraggy middle-aged blonde is Maddow's significant other. I don't know who the euphoric geek is.

We got a new moderator here! Did you purchase FRepublic from Jim? How should I post? What should I type next?
I know....
Maddow is a bulldyke butch moonbat!
I will type it again when I see her name again.
Damn. What happened to Tom Cruise ?
There is nothing to get over. I am not compelled to defend Maddow in any way.
If you are posting for those that already agree with than post on. However, if you want to bring in those that are on the fence. I think unnecessary name calling will repel more people than you will attract.
You either elevate your argument beyond irrelevant name calling or argue like a liberal.
You seem to have made your choice.
