I don't know his politics either but he's a good coach and a good man. He has been a guest of Rush's show before and I gathered that he did not agree with Rush on many things, but he did not seem to be a liberal either.

'WHINER IN CHIEF' "The Obama administration really needs to get over itself," the liberal Nation magazine's John Nichols writes at www.thenation.com. "First, the president and his aides go to war with Fox News because the network maintains a generally anti-Obama slant. "Then, an anonymous administration aide attacks bloggers for failing to maintain a sufficiently pro-Obama slant. "These are not disconnected developments," Mr. Nichols said. "An administration that won the White House with an almost always on-message campaign and generally friendly coverage from old and new media is now frustrated by its inability to control the debate and get the coverage it wants." Mr. Nichols noted that NBC White House correspondent John Harwood reported that an anonymous White House "adviser" told him that liberal bloggers who have been criticizing the Obama administration need to take off their pajamas, get dressed and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated and difficult. Mr. Nichols added: "As for the Obama administration, whether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is 'whining.' And nothing - no attack by Glenn Beck, no blogger busting about Guantanamo - does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner in chief."
