Following a quick tow to the deserted gate, Midwest graciously wined and dined its inconvenienced passengers, put us up in the airport Hilton, and offered us two “unrestricted” round trip ticket vouchers to anywhere Midwest Airlines flies.

That’s not to say he should not advise the president or speak out when he believes a policy is wrong. But he should not simply tow a party line. Greenspan’s experience shows the possible dangers of the job. Few will debate that Greenspan has been a legendary chairman, but his reputation was tarnished when, in a partisan manner, he dabbled in fiscal policy in 2001, effectively endorsing the Bush tax cuts in his congressional testimony...
