Every politician has a mentor, a sounding board, a guiding presence. Nelson Mandela had Walter Sisulu, Winston Churchill had Bourke Cockran, and John F. Kennedy had Ted Sorensen. When wondering about councilman George Weiss, only one name comes to mind: Yosemite Sam. Yes, the proud cartoon cowboy, the mean-spirited and aggressive gunslinger with the hair-trigger temper and an intense hatred of rabbits - whose “shoot first” efforts always seemed to backfire. Substitute common sense for rabbits, and we have our doppelganger.
