Why is Tom Ridge giggling?

1. thought the same thing
the might need to hire an actor soon if Tom can't get his act together. If you want us to believe it this time, then you have to believe it also.

15. That scheme seems backwards to me
It should be Cookie Monster right now, not Ernie. And personally I think Bert is scarier than Cookie Monster.

4. Maybe it is because
he has gotten to say the word "homeland" over and over. I think he likes that word. Myself, I would prefer United States. This is creeping me out.

5. I guess Ridge is a crappy liar
Hang around Dumbya for very long and you start making stupid smirks when you lie.

14. they are talking about the raised terror alert
during the nfl halftime shows today. Generally its just football scores around the league. Can't even watch football without being told to be afraid.

Can someone give me the objective details on Ridge's "giggling"? And tell me if you saw it first hand.

19. I know
it's too reminiscent of the Fatherland. But then I pretty much hate it when they say anything.

18. Speaks volumes about our invasion and capture of SH doesn't it...
Yeah,we've done such a great job of rooting out terrorist and dictators and making the World so safe that one week later ChimpCo has to raise the terra alert.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

Every time I look at him, he gives me the creeps.. His little pursed lips on that big ole face is downright odd:)
