I'll bet he ends up claiming it is all a vast Bush conspiracy and he was framed.

I'm claiming it for him. Do some critical thinking.

OK, assuming for the sake of argument that the Bush people did this, you are telling me that they had accomplices in a democrat county in Albany, New York? AND that they had him arrested on this in JUNE of 2001, BEFORE the attack on the WTC, BEFORE the Axis of Evil spech, and BEFORE Ritter became such a high-profile supporter of Hussein? By golly, those Bush people are not only efficient, they are clairvoyant!

"I'm claiming it for him. Do some critical thinking."

Possible, but consider the timing. This arrest took place 18 months ago. That was prior to the 2002 State of the Union address where President Bush named Iraq as part of the axis of evil. Before 9-11. This happened in June of 2001.

To the best of my knowledge, I hadn't seen Ritter on any of the talking head shows before last years SOTU address.

Would Ritter even have been on the Bush administration's radar at that time? I'd be surprised.
