Ricker himself resigned from the council in 1999 after he attended a White House summit called by President Clinton to address the need to prevent tragedies such as the shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado. Just like the Iraqis turned Scott 'short-eyes' Ritter, Ricker probably has some special fetish that the RAT dirty tricks team found out about. That enabled the Slickster to turn him like a Frisco punk.
