“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.
