I'm just watching Larry King Live w/ Gov Doofus. King just asked him if he consulted with Ridge or Homeland Security before making the announcement about the bridges. He avoided saying "no" by talking about all the state level underlings he did consult with, but obviously he did NOT run this by Ridge at all before he took to the podium.
Damn! I KNEW this would turn out to be the case. Someone in the big house needs to rip this dangerously self-important S.O.B. a new one.
