for any further thoughts from Milligan about the 'inexcusable' media treatment of Anthony Weiner now that he admits to being a big liar.

As to inferring qualities about someone based on their previous activities I prefer someone with some take-it and dish-it-out yes-sir/yes-ma'am experience, especially leadership at company level or above, as in military experience. And/or some business experience. Successful business experience, like successfully sweating a payroll week-in, week-out for a number of years. And/or some market-trading and capital-raising experience.

If they can skate like Sonia Henie or Gordy Howe, good for them.

'Working together' -- without distinct leadership. Only in the case of blind leading the blind. Yeah, if I was a shill for the budgetarily-leaderless dem party further on the way out I'd be spanking the 'please work with me to make me relevant' theme too.

As suggested before, give up Milligan on trying to portray yourself as one of us, here with the what's golf and the Bruins. You're not.
