Tom Ridge Sums Up The McCain Platform

Well, that's the end of the Republican National Convention. Quite a night! Quite a message! That's a lot to absorb, but let's let Tom Ridge summarize the big takeaway from four days of McCain's coronation.

[WATCH.]

TOM BROKAW: But the fact is, governor, that you have had eight years of a bush administration and a lot of Republicans in Congress for the last eight years, so why wouldn't the american people say, look they had their shot we're going to change?

TOM RIDGE: Because John Bush - because John McCain is very much his own man...

Hear that? John BUSH. Bet all you people calling him "John McSame" feel pretty stupid now! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Freudian slip or the true thoughts of Ridge? How he might explain the coming out with the same as we have said for months but under several different names never thinking to put the first and last names together as he did "without thought" obviously. The next will be a "cindyism" explaining her thought on this "accidental" slip.

[FaceYourFears]

True thoughts, I don't think it was an accident.

[PADDYWHACK]

Lots and lots of wars which will make his Neocon profiteering friends happy.That is what he promises,Ridge is scratching the surface,it needs to be deeply mined.

John Bush and George McCain

[japobere]

Lots of Freudian slips on the R side lately. I wonder what Sarah Pawlenty has to say about it.

[eva belle]

Love it, love it, love it!!!!! John Bush!!! Now why didn't I think of that?

[BrandNu]

Priceless! The Obama campaign should make an ad out of it ...
" Even his close confidant Tom Ridge can't tell John McCain and George Bush apart"... play the clip.... then.... "We don't need 4 more years of John Bush"

Joe-Bama '08!!!

The democrats should make a major media buy with this ad. Then they need to get down in the mud with the Republicans to win this election. Staying above the frtay will only keep them out of the WH.

[owiseone]

You are right.

The Dems could call it a Freudian slip--that's not really getting down in the mud. We must face the insults and the lies head on with very straight talk. Kerry's campaign bypassed confrontation, consequently the swift-boating worked.

[MissingAmerica]

Gotta love it!

[WFV]

Gee, and I thought Rendell was entertaini­ng.....

[RickO]

Priceless

[Zhonni]

I second.

[truegreen]

Frueden slip!

[Soothsayer08]

Was it really a Freudian slip or anger at the VP pick? Probably a little of both.

[TheIndependenceParty]

Yup -Yup! Ridge knows that Sally from the Valley is a shooting star in his party. By the time the election rolls around, ... Alaska will have gone dark again, and Ridge will still be down here in the lower 48, mourning this pathetic ticket John Bush gave him!

[HallStyle]

This is exactly how he really feels. I think he is upset that John McBUSH picked Sarah Palin instead of him.

[flymic]

John Bush!!!


HAHAHAHAAHAH!!

[RealityBaseCamp]

John Bush is his OWN MAN, Dammit!

[BlueAsh]

I heard that during his interview -- poor man, why did he let himself be dragged into this mess?
