TOM RIDGE RETRACTS HIS STATEMENT

He said he was pressured to raise the terrorist threat level just before the last election Bush won.

The left erupted in glee.

But now:

Now, Ridge says he did not mean to suggest he was pressured to raise the threat level, and he is not accusing anyone of trying to boost Bush in the polls. "I was never pressured," Ridge said. (USAToday)

Oh. I see. You meant to sell books, that's all. Well, giving more power to the Marxist takeover of America is an even trade, I guess. As long as you make more money. Screw the country!

Asshat.
