Is Tom Ridge Bitter?

Man, there have been a lot of those Bush/McCain Freudian slips recently, haven't there?

Or is this because Ridge was passed over for VP in a very public manner? And for who? She's a recent mayor of a hamlet who pioneered new frontiers in pork, flirted with secession from the Union, hired a Washington lobbyist for a town of six thousand, started building a rec center before she owned the land, creationism-in-schools, bridge-to-nowhere-loving, power-abusing hot librarian.

Ouch. That's might make me lash out too.
