Tom Ridge Joins the Shrill Chorus

Look, it's great that Tom Ridge is coming out with a book in which he highlights the dysfunction of the Bush White House, tried to prevent 'Brownie' from becoming head of FEMA pre-Katrina, etc.

But like Colin Powell, Scot McClellan and others, when he was actually in a position to do something to correct the mistakes he saw happening, or at least kick up a stink if he couldn't change things, he instead stayed quiet.

Ridge put party loyalty above country when it mattered. I can't say I'll be rushing out to reward him by buying his book.
