Phony Tough Guy Watch: Arne Duncan
Last month, Ramsin Canon wrote about Tribune columnist and "consummate phony tough guy" John Kass.
In that vein, I would like to nominate Arne Duncan for a Phony Tough Guy Award, for being quoted as saying he would
"come down like a ton of bricks" on anyone who defies the administration's plans to bring relief to states who face layoffs because of budget cuts."
Words signify things and his metaphor of "coming down like a ton of bricks" should mean something. Does this mean that he's going to fight Bobby Jindal?
