Help Wanted-Must Possess a Spine, Brass Balls a Plus

I hope that it is the test of time and history that does it, but I’m not sure. Did the people in the boat with Washington crossing the Delaware know they were in the midst of greatness?  Did they realize years later when he gave his farewell address that an era had passed? If time is the active ingredient, I guess I can relax. But what if you have to achieve something? 

I have a suspicion that there are no great men (or women) anymore, just mediocre people with great Public Relations teams. J Edgar Hoover was accused of delaying the arrest of various depression era desperadoes so that he could get to the scene and be on hand for the arrest. Okay, so he wasn’t on the bust team but the chances of catching a stray round are greater at the scene than ten miles away at the press conference. These days you wouldn’t find the FBI Director in the same time zone as a controversy.

The current Director James-Comeys-clinton-immunity-147501712effectively demonstrated that he is not one of the great men of yesteryear.  He can’t even meet the measure of J Edgar Hoover, in drag or out. J Edgar loved one thing FBI. 

Comey is now complaining that he is being put upon for the perceived mishandling of the Clinton E-mail scandal.  Another hurdle that Comey failed to meet, shut up and take it.  Comey has demonstrated he is a small man in a big job, too big for him to handle.  It is time to leave, don’t shame yourself anymore just don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
