Twenty-five years, huh? And what’s he got to show for it?

Miller: 'It breaks my heart, because I've spent 25 years trying to protect the service.' Which is usually how institutions get into trouble.

Unfairly putting conservatives in your crosshairs will have an effect on your reputation. Forgive us, Mr. Miller, if we don’t have any tears to cry for you.
