Just think, If Al Gore were President, we wouldn't be having any of these alerts at all!
(Meaning that he would be ignoring them hoping they would go away)...
I should have been watching Fox post-conference coverage but since I'm a big fan of Steve Emerson I switched to MSNBC. They had Larry Johnson on with Emerson. What a first class jerk. He was trying to downplay the threat and said DHS should have let law enforcement agencies quietly handle it. Complained about Ridge crying overstating the threat and that it wasn't that serious because the intel didn't actually say that the threat was imminent and that they ahd a bomb "ready". Steve Emerson of course, set him straight.
