it's a shock because he's one of the first to admit he
can't do the job, rather than carry on to the grave.


At least I can admire him for that,


I can't. Apparently he had to have his arm twisted to take
the job in the first place and should have just told them then
that he wasn't up to the job and would rather just retire.

there maybe other reasons to admire him but I don;t know them


I don't believe that there are any.

They don't call him God's Rottweiler for nothing.
