Sully for President!

I continue to be so amused and delighted by the enthusiasticly positive reactions to the heroics of Capt. Sullenberger on Flight 1549. Everywhere you look on the Internet, people are competing to come up with the highest accolades, creating fan clubs, etc. I am waiting to see if anyone creates commemorative merchandise in his honor. You know, if this incident had only happened a year ago, it might be "Sully's" inauguration we'd be watching next week! Here is a comment from the UK Mail Online:

"An American hero. First reports are that the hero pilot of that US Airways flight -- Capt Chesley B. 'Sully' Sullenberger III: splendid -- is a former US Air Force F-4 fighter pilot. That should have been obvious. Sometimes when it seems the United States is finished, that it has exhausted its once-great spirit, an American such as Capt Sullenberger appears. Cool, skilled, brave, patriotic,and honourable -- he would not leave the sinking aircraft until he had searched it twice to make sure no one was left on board. Of course he did. He was trained in the American military imperative: 'Leave no man behind.' Some days I write off America. Not today, brothers. Not today."

While I strongly disagree with the statement that "America is finished", I like the rest.
