Jaysus, you guys--LH with his conspiracy theories and Bruce's jaded generalized anti-social cynicism are enough to put me off any discussion of the Administration for good.

From what I have seen, BB his reputation was founded on the same very actions--unwillingness to jump into ill-founded bravado and histrionic heroism. In fact he's copped a lot of heat because he insists on gathering data longer than thew righties (who are not prone to thoughtful management techniques) can stand.
