Lies, Damn Lies, Bald-faced Lies....and then there's the steaming heap that is Tom Ridge

...who is working in bullshit the way Van Gogh worked in oils. [/Jean Shepherd]



Continuing with the shocked....SHOCKED....and appalled meme, Here's Tom Ridge with a straight face:



Speaking at a news conference in New York, Ridge said that because of the heightened security steps, "We have made it much more difficult for the terrorists to achieve their broad objectives. ... We will not become fortress America."



Uh, excuse me? There are cops with M16s patrolling the streets of midtown Manhattan, vehicles are subject to random search, but we will not become fortress America? Too late, Ridge, we already are.
