The guy who dreamt up color coding terrorist risks just gave Obama a 'C' on nat'l security.

Oooh, that's gonna leave a mark.

(Tom Ridge on Morning Joe today.)

1. Just too damn funny!!!!! nt

[DrDan]

2. he's a repub - what would you expect

[get the red out]

3. What would he have to then give Bush?

Who had 911 on his watch, and who didn't get Bin Laden and said it wasn't important to get Bin Laden.

They don't make grades that low.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Odd they didn't ask him that.

Must be how that whole lean-y forward-y thing works out for them in the morning.

4. My most lasting memory of Ridge was him yucking it up in the Fahrenheit 911 intro

An out-of-context moment, to be sure, but illuminating nonetheless. He's a political game player. Not a sincere bone in his body.

5. Obama not using enough duct tape and plastic sheeting!

[malaise]

6. A gave Ridge an F

for Fucking idiot.

[JoePhilly]

7. Obama doesn't use fear as effectively as Bush did, thus the lower marks.

[NV Whino]

9. Let's see, would that be yellow. Or yellow-orange?

[ejpoeta]

10. so what would a c be in color coded form?

i think that would be better than the d- the color coded scare everyone chart should have gotten (if i were being generous)
