After Watching “The Last Word”

(editor note)  Recall when a single traffic jam was the topic of a national news/opinion episode?

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is in hot water. As pointed out in the broadcast, he made several contradictory statements. This and the two-hour news conference did nothing to help his cause. If indeed Christie has a cause. And, for a guy who overwhelmingly elected to a second term as Governor, it looked as if he would sail into the presidential selection with no difficulty. But then, there was this matter of a bridge. As one commentator put it, how did a simple statement;  ” we need some bridge work, translate into ” let’s create a mess.” It had to be orchestrated by Christie. And because of this, Christie might not be governor for very long. He could be impeached, because this is a misuse of his powers.

I am really disappointed in this guy. I thought after all the help he received from Obama after their weather crisis, that he would have more sense than this. I was obviously wrong. I even thought he would change parties. Now, I am glad he did not.

Christie has come down with a disease which affects most Republicans: they think that they own the office they occupy. They forget it is the people who put them where they are, and they sit to work for our good.

Now, living in the Midwest, we have several bridges, but none as crowded as the bridge Christie closed down. That’s right, he did it.
