      Ridge is being a "wussy".

      Honorable men, when confronted with a boss who directs them to do dishonorable things, resign their post. If directed to do unconscienable things, they wrestle with their conscience to determine whether or not to blow the whistle. If they are directed to do illegal things, they report such activity or they become complicit in the crime.

      It really is that simple.

      Bill Kristol is trying to make this a non-story. The threat level was not raised - end of story, according to this jack@ss. He ignores the fact that the man in charge of Homeland Security, was pressured by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense to scare the American people.

      Noun, Verb, 9/11. Fear, that's all the Republicans, and neocons have left.

      Yes, he's doing it in a book. We all know that only wussy liberals actually read for information.

      Another case of the Republicans excusing away their behavior by attacking their opponents manhood.

      The classic response of a coward towards someone else's attempt to regain his integrity.

        Exactly, worrier. Same thing happened when Scott McClellan wrote his book -- the Fox Comedy Channel went on a "kill the messenger" tear.

        I just want to know one thing: with all the evidence -- DOCUMENTED evidence -- now out there; Ridge's book detailing raising the terror alert for political gain, McClellan's book detailing the non-response to Katrina, and even Shooter Cheney's own recent revelations that Bush contemplated sending an armed invasion force into an American city . . . is THIS enough to FINALLY bring charges against BushCo??

        And speaking of cowards, I see our phantom critic has given everyone a thumbs down rating.

      Totally off-topic, but even though I disagree with Nicole Wallace on virtually everything in terms of politics, I would smash her in a heartbeat.

      Sooo -- writing a book constitutes "wussy" behavior.

      OK -- I'll keep that in mind when 'lil dick Morris or Crazy Annie Coulter comes out with their next screed . . .
