McNabb remains cool under fire

[Desperadoe]

Answer rancor with calm reflection, ignorance with dignity - that's what a leader does.

And that, observers said, is how Donovan McNabb has conducted himself throughout the Rush Limbaugh contretemps.

"He's handled it very well," said Joe DiAngelo, dean of St. Joseph's University's Haub School of Business. "He's shown tact, thoughtfulness, poise and grace. That's what you hope a leader demonstrates in a situation like this."<snip>

<snip>"Rather than defend himself, McNabb is talking about American values - the bigger picture - and speaking to the best in us: equal opportunity and anti-racism," Schmidt said. "He went above the brawl."<snip>

1. I saw a couple clips of his comments on the news last night

And indeed, he is a class act.

2. I don't know jack-diddly-squat about football, but I saw his press

conference and thought he was a very fine young man. Made Rush and the other "analysts" at ESPN look like idiots.

3. Donovan McNabb

Has more class in his pinky than Rush has in his whole corpulent body.
