now officially owes everyone in the motherfucking world a motherfucking apology.
The line forms on the Left.
By now you all know that Tom Ridge has confirmed that yet another Crazy Liberal Conspiracy Theory (#122, filed between "But...Iraq doesn't have a nuclear program..." and "Wow, it sure as shit looks like Karl Rove has been using our nation's U.S. Attorneys like a bunch of Chicago precinct thugs.") turned out to be true...
If you didn't, here's the poop:
Tom Ridge kisses and tells on Bush’s ‘terror levels’
By Brad Knickerbocker | 08.20.09
For those who had their doubts about the politics behind the Bush administration’s “war on terrorism,” Tom Ridge’s new book will fuel long-held suspicions.
The former Republican governor of Pennsylvania, who was the first head of the Department of Homeland Security, says two top Bush officials – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft – pressured him to up the terror alert level before the 2004 election, according to promotional materials by publisher Macmillan.
“Ridge also charges that he was often ‘blindsided’ during daily morning briefings with Bush because the FBI withheld information from him, and says he was never invited to sit in on National Security Council meetings,” reports AFP.
...
Golly, Buffalo Bob! You mean a bunch of Republicans deliberately lied about matters of life-and-death in order to terrorize the public into a stampede that they could then manipulate to their political advantage?
And they got away with it?
Pardon me as I perish in shock.
In a country not in the thrall of bunch of locked-ward asylum patients masquerading as a political party, this story would have ended with the sentence: "George Walker Bush and other leaders of the conservative domestic terrorist group are at present negotiating with authorities and are expected to surrender themselves into the FBI custody shortly."
We do not live in that country.
Instead, we live in a country where the same meatsticks who cheered Dubya and his band of criminals and traitors on year after year after year at rallies where impertinent tee-shirts were enough to get a person arrested...
...now show up at Presidential events toting bazookas and screaming that the Black Muslim Nazi wants to murder your grandma.

It doesn't take away from the need to pressure Obama into doing right by realizing who's in charge, but hearing about Ridge today reminded me just how bad things used to be. I mean, our government was run by people who couldn't care less about the people. And then they found the biggest Yes Men to push fear just to get reelected.
Yeah, DG, I hear ya. Yet let's neither waste time waiting for that apology, nor hold our breath in anticipation, for it's been detained indefinitely, having drinks with Ken Lay, Elvis and the Great Pumpkin in some Caribbean bar in a location without a U.S. Extradition treaty. And how utterly "courageous" for Ridge to come out with this now, while it can be whispered behind the cacaphony of the stupid, which is itself blathering in tune to the conducting O'Hanitwit and B(l)eck?
And every swingin' dick ONE of those motherfuckers is STILL breathin' air WE could be breathin'! SON OF A BITCH, but I do hope our little outfit here SELLS soon so we can get our ragged 60 some-odd year old asses on our way to New Zealand!
