I saw his near hysterics in the weeks after the storm as similar to what a baseball manager does when his players have been victimized by bad umpiring. Sometimes a little bit of added colorful passion is what it takes to make sure the players know that their manager is there for them. Sometimes when the stakes are big, the manager just needs to go ahead and get kicked out of the game. I was glad to see his anger with the blatant and obvious lack of response. <BR/><BR/>I also don't think I have much right to criticize anybody who was on the ground in New Orleans that week. The victims of a disaster of that magnitude cannot be expected to rescue themselves.<BR/><BR/>I am most comfortable with a politician who speaks his mind, consequences be damned, although they are rarely around for long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
