What we're seeing in the Ukraine leaders right now? Daddy called it "grit".

[Atticus]

Decades before John Wayne made his movie, Dad said he hoped I would grow up to be a man with "grit".

"What's that?" little Atticus inquired.

He explained, "Some people, when things get really really bad---life knocks them flat and everyone thinks they're finished---can pull themselves up, clench their teeth, look the world in the eye and say 'Is that all you've got?'

That is 'grit'."

Zelensky has grit. His people have grit.

I hope we do.

1. And as I sit here thinking about your post...

I can't come up with one American politician with grit. I'll keep thinking.

2. How about Joe Biden and Jamie Raskin and Jackie Speier and ----I could go on, but they are all

on our side of the aisle.

4. They are all very fine...

But I wouldn't use "grit" to describe any of them.

"Grit" is rare.
