"if you can't say something good about someone them don't say anything at all".

I've always thought that pious little maxim is bullshit. When I see a spade, I'll be damned if I'll call it a teaspoon just so someone's dainty little feelings can be spared. Mayer needs to be called on his shit, if you'll excuse that colloquial expression, just as other public figures, especially politicians, need to be called on their shit.
