Tom must be in bad shape. Someone should tell him that he hasn't been Gov for 16 years and doesn't need to go to these anymore.

LOL  I thought that too.  The article says he was attending as a representative of his own security firm.  I guess he was there drumming up business. 

This article paints Ridge's time as governor in a favorable light.  But like every other liberal Republican, he screwed the middle and working class.  Thanks to him, the pension plan for state workers was bloated.  Now it's nearly bankrupt.  And guess who is paying for Ridge's generosity to government employees?

And what exactly did he do as director of homeland security other than create that ridiculous color-coded system for identifying terror threats?  Yeah, I feel safer knowing that terror threats are color coded.
