General Discussion

None did. Not one spoke out in his defense. Don't talk to me about "tough" unless you have been in a similar situation. One man facing coordinated one-sided public condemnation with 40 of the most powerful and respected voices in the country turning their backs on him when they should have been supporting him--voices from whom he had every right to expect support. Show me who IS tough enough to withstand that. I know no one whose veins contain ice that runs that cold, and I know a LOT of DC people.
