Can we please cut Danny Williams some slack. We have our sponsorship scandals and we've seen our politicians caught with their hands in the public till. How sweet, then, to have an accomplished, self-made, self-supporting, highly capable individual enter into public service for all the right reasons. We are tempted to wonder, if political leadership were restricted to the Danny Williamses of this world, where we might be in terms of integrity in high places. On the other hand, if we continue to hammer people in public life simply because they make convenient targets, can we also complain about the quality of the "leadership" we're saddled with?
