The new RDs in the NE are an interesting mix. One is dumb as a brick, but a really nice guy, with a long history and relationship to Logan. The other is smart, but has the people skills of a Hannibal Lecter, with a long relationship with JD. In the end, It is no gain. BBizzle again demonstrates little spine, less clue, zero leadership. Next question--who wins the cage match/vial fight when toes are stepped on and RDs have to mediate: Hannibal or Dopey?
