Following My Mother's Advice

Posted By McQ

My mother, who was a wise and wonderful woman (and also a vet) always told me that if I couldn't say something nice about the recently departed I should keep quiet.

So I'll let Joe Galloway, Vietnam's "Ernie Pyle", sum up my feelings about Robert McNamara's death

"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." —Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)

Well, the aptly named Robert Strange McNamara has finally shuffled off to join LBJ and Dick Nixon in the 7th level of Hell.

McNamara was the original bean-counter — a man who knew the cost of everything but the worth of nothing.

'Nuff said.
