Chris Christie

I liked Chris Christie. I believed he was a straight-shooter. I have an innate distrust of all politicians, but I thought he was as good as one could be. I sort of felt like I knew the guy. When he had LAP-BAND surgery I knew it was in preparation for a presidential run in 2016. I knew because as much as I liked him, I would have been conflicted about voting for an obese candidate with a bad temper who could drop dead of a heart attack or have a stroke at any moment. Losing weight would eliminate that worry for potential voters, including me. Plus, it was something I myself would have done, if I were in his shoes. Like I said, I felt like I knew him.

And that's why I know he is lying about "Bridgegate." I know he knew and approved of what his staff did to the busiest bridge in the United States. I know because any responsible governor would have thrown a fit about a "traffic study" that wreaked such havoc. It lasted 4 days. If he didn't know and approve, the tough-talking, no-holds-barred Christie would have demanded that the "traffic study" be halted immediately. He would have raised ten kinds of hell with whomever decided such a stupid thing. He would have fixed that mess for the people of New Jersey. But, he did not. 

You can't have it both ways, Governor. We're supposed to believe you aren't a "regular" politician, that you truly have the best interests of your state at heart and are qualified to lead this country, yet you didn't know about something that hurt so many of your constituents? You did not know what your most trusted staff members were doing? You were in the dark about all of this? Please. Do us all a favor and admit it! You, Chris Christie, are either a liar or an incompetent boob. In either case, I am glad to find out now, rather than after the election.
