I'm Not Making This Up--Well, not the Part About Ridge

Dana Milbank notes the following: Ridge Joins Home Depot Board

Orange alert! The do-it-yourself Home Depot chain may be ready to drop that ubiquitous orange for something more color-coded. The company has appointed just-departed Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge to its board of directors. Unclear how Ridge's previous job will help Home Depot, but he does have experience marketing duct tape and dust masks.

Hmmmm...what will the future hold for other prominent rethuglicans? Ahnuld joining the board of directors for BALCO? Dick Cheney at Halliburton?...oh, wait a minute...Abu Gonzales a spokesperson for JT's Stockroom (Condi could model for them), Rummy as financial advisor to Enron ("you retire with the money you have, not the money you want"), Gale Norton at Hummer, Rudy Guiliani reviving 'Playboy After Dark' (with his good friend Bernie Kerik), Bill Frist opening a small animal clinic (with Tom DeLay the supply room)...we're talking real opportunities for qualified individuals...

As for Dubya, one word: pretzelboy.
