Never liked Ridge. Weak chin, weak man. Typical RINO. Even in the Marine Corp. a few bad apples slip through—particularly with officers. It is interesting that two of slimiest of ex-Marines—Ridge and Murtha—come from Pennsy.
Frankly, I’m embarrassed to have been born and reared in that state. I’m also embarrassed to have lived most of my adult life in NJ. I’m trying to get out, but can’t sell my house.

Agree with everything you've said, except Ridge was army - not marines, FWIW.
