The accomplished ditching of the US Airways plane pilot by Chesley B. Sullenberger III was the perfect coda to the Bush years.
In a fitting coincidence, it even overshadowed the president's final address to the nation; reality once again intruding on the public relations fantasies of the Bush administration.
At the center, the event was occupied by a man who is everything George W. Bush is not; A well trained professional, who took his job and responsibilities seriously, reacted calmly under extremis and with precision and care. His moment of truth became a job well done.
Nice moment. Glorious news. More to come.

They lived on the same street as our family in our little lefty enclave of northern NJ, and belonged to the same blacklisted organization as my parents did. I feel like a dumbkopf for never making the connection before, but Klein is a common name. Here's the New Yorker piece
