Bob McManus, editor of these pages for the past 12 years, retires today.
As he takes his leave, Bob’s many friends in the community and his colleagues at The Post take pause to wish him and his wife, Mary, the very best.
Bob’s tenure as opinion editor has been guided by one simple ambition — to do what’s right, no matter the criticism and opposition he has faced from the chattering mob and the loony left.
Corruption public and private, government waste, higher taxes, union featherbedding and hypocrisyall felt the pain of Bob’s withering gaze.
Law enforcement in New York City and state and the nation’s military had no greater friend.Bob McManus is a man of honor. And a gentleman.
