Was Bear Bryant speaking about *?
Bear Bryant was the coach of the Alabama football team for many, many years. He said this about leadership:

"Leaders are self-starters. They say, 'Let's go' and lead. They don't say, 'Sic 'em' and step back to watch the fighters do the work."

Do you hear that, *?!? Do you?? You lead by going first, you coward!

9/11, the war on terror, Katrina - you have said, "Sic 'em" and you deserted us!

I am so angry I could scream!! This man does nothing - NOTHING - and people are dying all around us. Infants, the elderly, anyone and he DOES NOTHING!!!

So, yeah, you lurking freeps. Your wonderful, I'd-want-to-have-a-beer-with-him leader ISN'T A LEADER. He is a failure and a murderer!

1. The GOP sure knows how to pick 'em - NOT!
Notice the conspicuous absence of Cheney and Rove, the blivet's brains? And I understand Rice is in NY going to plays. Yep, that's leadership for you.:sarcasm:

2. God bless Bear Bryant
I was in Tuscaloosa when he coached. Alabama had no NCAA violations under his leadership. And he never blamed anyone but himself for a loss.
