Colts’ Daniel Travanti Muir on Ben Bernanke: “He Looks Like A Crook.”

By William Dean A. Garner

Okay, I gave in and actually watched a CNBC webstrip of an interview with two Indianapolis Colts, John Gill and Daniel Travanti Muir. When Gill was shown a photograph of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, Gill was hesitant at first, then said, “I wanna say Ben Bernanke?”

When the interviewer then asked Mr. Muir, the big man was deep into checking out a home video on his cam, but politely turned his head every so slightly to look at the photograph and said, confidently, “He looks like a crook.” He then repaired to the cam again.

The announcer parroted: “He looks like a crook? Why?”

Mr. Muir pulled his head away from his cam and continued, a little more confidence this time, like he was on to something big: “He just got that look about him, man, like, he just out to take everything you own.”

Man, that’s chemistry for you: bacteria know a predator when they detect one, dogs know evil when they sniff it or lick it, and we humans know, too, when evil is lurking in our midst.
