Tom Ridge, wimp

"Former Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge, speaking for the first time about accusations made in his new book, says he did not mean to suggest that other top Bush administration officials were playing politics with the nation's security before the 2004 presidential election."

Ridge said one thing to promote his book, and then said the opposite when he had to deal with the resulting critics.

With so little strength of character, imagine how bad he was at actually fighting terrorism.
