Tom Ridge on the Toady show this morning backtracking... |
|
The GOPers and neoCon goons must have really turned the heat up on Terra Lert Tommy.
I'm paraphrasing here..."Our government did torture under the Bush administration, but we stopped that and I don't see any reason for the DOJ to try and criminalize what has taken place when we were all under a lot of pressure to find some quick information. To prosecute the guilty in this case would itself BE CRIMINAL!"
If I murder and rob last week and I don't do it anymore this week, then I should get away with murder?
And Tom Ridge claims to be a lawyer...I'm guessing he's about as good and honest a lawyer as Yoo, Gonzo, Ashcroft and Addington.

6. And the Toady that was doing the interview hardly raised an |
|
eyebrow throughout the entire interview! A TOTALLY stupid argument on Tom's part, but I guess he knows he shares some of the guilt for everything that he helped the Bush gang pull off.
I think a third grader could rip Tom's legal argument to shreds.

2. Oh, they definitely got to him. Who could say no to Darth Cheney? |

If Ridge was serious about all of it, he should have quit before the 2004 election was over.

14. And if Ridge was truly serious |
|
He would have blown the whistle on the corrupt and criminal Bush administration at the time, instead of saddling us with a second term for more torture and war. But then, what would he do for money? He's got a book to sell now, you know.

5. Was that a Fraudulent Slip or a typo? |
|
In any case, "Toady Show" is much better than what they call it.

8. I've been calling it Matt Liar and the Toady show for... |
|
a long time. I hardly ever watch that crap but I was surfing past and I had to hear what Terra Lert Tommy had to say. I was amused at the sheer stupidity of the case that he was making.

16. I stopped watching in the 80s when Grunt Mumbles |
|
let every right wing idiot in the world mouth propaganda like it was written on stone tablets and handed down through the ages.
I've only seen Matt Liar on You Tube videos. He's even worse.

17. I kept expecting the Nutwork to play those fake laugh tracks |
|
this morning after Tom Lert Tommy answered another of that lady interviewer's leading but misleading questions. I'll bet GE Jack Welch was really happy with the way that exchange was all pulled off. Jack and Dick Cheney's "Go To Guy" Timmy Taterhead couldn't have done better himself!

Don't suppose Mutt asked him about politicizing his beloved terra codes.

12. "Mutt" Liar wasn't the one doing the interview it was some |
|
blonde lady with an extra shiny mouth like those FOXy ladies that work for brother Rupert. I looked down and even my dog was laughing at Tom's splainin' how we needed to torture people for the past eight years to keep us all safe from "Terra". Funny how the US got by without it for so long before Bush decided to go medieval Saddam style, complete with the electric drills and rape rooms and how we are getting along again now without torturing folks.

I wouldn't want to be a horse right about now.
