I guess he won’t be invited to Crawford anytime soon.
It never ceases to amaze me what these clowns will do to get some attention.
I’m just guessing but I doubt he’ll be offering up any evidence.
If so, why this "revelation?"
Let me correct this:
...the memoir is intended to rouse Americans from their complacency about security issues make me some money, Ridge says.
Selling books saying anything
I wonder if he gives specific quotes of what was said to him, and by whom. If he does not, then I think he is not credible. Regardless, the MSM will blow it way out of proportion.
... and to think that this political lightweight almost became Bush’s VP. Whew!
What color is his book?
and chairman zero has taken a page right out of this playbook as anytime he watched his poll numbers drop he starts threatening to investigate the Bush administration....
“He almost considered resigning after being pressured to raise the terrorist threat level for political reasons”
OK, so why didn’t you resign?
Hahahahahahah...so who supposedly pressured him to raise the threat level?
I understand people need to make a living, but if you make a great living yet can't live with yourself, what have you accomplished mr ridge?
Certainly terrorist intelligence would not show increased threats to attack the US during President Bush’s reelection
sarc
“Ridge...says he repeatedly warned against appointing Michael Brown to be the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA.) Brown resigned after lawmakers and journalists on both sides of the aisle accused him of mismanaging the response to Hurricane Katrina.

What a pandering little a$$wipe.
THe VAST majority of the problems related to Hurricane Katrina had to do with the fundamental and abject lack of personal responsibility and foresight on the part of the residents of New Orleans and had very little to do with any FEDERAL “response”.
self serving much...?
W had a lot of snakes around him...
Yes! Just what the Republicans need! More Tom Ridges!!!
If he thought it was wrong, he should have refused and let them fire him. I am tired of people who come forward after the fact and tell all, but at the time they just went along. What is he going to claim, Stockholm Syndrome?
Did Ridge also ask OBL to release that video threatening America.
Ridge is a first class moron.
Wow - he didn't consider resigning - what he did was 'almost consider' resigning. I wonder how you 'almost consider' doing something. Is that like a subconscious thought that you only become aware of while you are writing a tell-all book?
If he was never asked to attend a National Security Council meeting, isn’t it a least possible that there were threats of which he was not aware when asked to raise the threat level?
