Tom Ridge looked like he was holding an audition for Halloween during his press conference this afternoon. Norton bobbed her head up and down in clownish makeup. Some drunk from the "Letter Carrier's" union prattled on an on .
Tom Ridge, when asked if mail service would be curtailed said it was not up to him and dragged out a dead fish eyed clown from USPS management. Then he deferred to a doctor on the question of anthrax, a doctor the likes of which we see too much of in Florida, the type which cannot get a real practice going but feeds off government. This baby doc stuttered his way through....saying nothing we do not know.
Probably the worst part was when Ridge said all the talk about "weaponized" anthrax lends nothing to the debate but confuses people.
Bush has the best team on foreign affairs I have seen in my lifetime. But he has the F team on domestic problems. This is no time for anyone to learn on the job. Thompson and Ridge should be gone tomorrow.
Doing so would help Bush....we all know he is no BS, about time he got rid of the those who wallow in it and think we notice.
Now.
Powerful stuff.
About five letters mailed from one location have the legislature tied up in knots as well as the FBI. Airport security still has no improvement when just allowing pilots to carry sidearms would at least give some protection.
Oh yeah, we have authority for the air force to shoot them down if hijacked. Meanwhile we have NG troops without any ammo guarding airports, nuclear facilities, and public facilities. Borders wide open, leaking like a sieve.
Now we have this clown that doesn't know if or whether he has any authority running the show. How many terrorist attacks are we going to need and how many lives lost before terrorism is taken seriously?
Eddie Munster grew up to be Neil Cavuto. QED.
Tom Ridge is not Eddie Munster. Give the guy a break. New Job, no job description, etc. I'll concede only that we did't need another bureaucrat. We already had plenty of folks on the payroll to do the job.
And, I'll bet they'll soon be openening offices in every state.
When I first heard W utter those words in that speech, I instantly flashed on the Home Guard organization from the Babylon5 series. They were quite the goose-stepping bunch.

What did he posit as the "debate"?
Thanks for the flag; your title made me LoL. :-)
Hate to use FR for commercial purposes but I...well....things are kinda tight right now. Do you have phone numbers for these offices?
On the other hand, I loath that nancyboy Shepard Smith. He, I'd smack hard multiple times, given the opportunity. My TV goes off or elsewhere when that sleazy creature appears. He could meet a speeding bus up close and personal; ok by me.
Last night you were, unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. ...Do it again.--Morticia
