No surprise. The rumors were flying long ago.

Is this good or bad?

I've never really understood how he was qualified for anything more than helping Bush drum up votes in PA.

He already made his money from kickbacks and higher stock values.

why? most cabinet members stay on for only 1 term. in clinton's case, it was rare because the cabinet members stayed on for 2 terms.

 

Sure, most cabinet members stay for one term, but in this 'crucial' time of the U.S. War on Terror, shouldn't our highest political appointees be "staying the course" as well?

he'll write a book, the book will be critical of Cheney and Rice, and they'll take turns saying that Ridge was out of the loop....

Boy that would suck wouldn't it. Then again it would be fun watching this administration eat it's own.

Let's hope that ridiculous alert system goes with him
<-wishful thinking.

I'm glad to see another cronie jump away from Bush's Junta. It's great he's gonna go back to spending time with his family and be employed in private industry. No one would ever touch him again, for his association with Bush (except, of course, Bush/Cheney's cronies).

Isn't it funny how we haven't had a terrorist alert/warning since the Election? Hmmm.
