I watch from afar and am appalled that an otherwise savvy state governor and Republican politician of Jon Huntsman's stature should so willingly and undiplomatically slip the boot to Bob Murray, the mine owner, and seemingly contribute so little to the situation. If Murray's mines and mining practices have been so unsafe for so long, why didn't the state shut them down years ago?

Time for Huntsman to stop being your basic politician and get back to being a basic good guy.
