1/11/14, "New Scandal, Same Old Christie," Andrew C. McCarthy, NRO
"In public, the notorious Christie wrath is usually reserved for tea-party conservatives, for those who don’t share his soft spot for Islamic supremacists, and for the stray insolent teachers’-union rep — because, well, who doesn’t enjoy watching that?...
Team Christie was in harassment mode because the governor is already
running for president and sees his Mr. Bipartisan brand as the ticket to
the White House: the lone earnest pol who can bridge the poisonous
partisan divide. His hug-fest with Barack Obama as the 2012 election
headed toward the wire was a good start....
Christie’s
admirers are actually framing the exhibition of remorse as a triumph
that somehow erases the debacle that prompted the exhibition. Still
seeing him as their preferred 2016 candidate, they are quick to compare
him favorably with the Obama administration, in which responsibility is
rarely acknowledged and heads never roll. But that’s a very low bar. If
we were not talking about government, if such corruption had occurred at
a private corporation, prosecutors would have expected the company to
have launched a searching internal investigation at the first scent of
wrongdoing. They would have demanded full disclosure to, and energetic
cooperation with, the government."...via Mark Levin twitter
