   This week's "The David Strom Show" had two great interviews this week,
   the first on education, the second with Hennepin County Sheriff Rich
   Stanek. Regarding his role in the I-35W bridge collapse, Stanek said
   he got a few minutes with President Bush, and told him how he needed
   expert divers to recover the bodies. The Navy was on site in 12 hours
   and in the water within 24 hours.
   Meanwhile in California, Lt. Governor John Garamendi scornfully says
   they'll play the proper host to the President when he tours the
   California fire areas, but otherwise has no use for him. Imagine if
   Stanek or others working the bridge site had acted that way.
   California burns while Garamendi fiddles.
