Two points....first, I agree with everything you've said about him. Second, that very accurately describes our current president/administration as well. :)
I watched some of the MSNBC coverage yesterday and had to laugh at some of the commentary. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was very critical of the man who repeatedly took the fifth, and essentially said it was tantamount to an admission of something serious. But months ago when Lois Lerner plead the fifth, Schultz was intense in her defense of Lerner for invoking her constitutional right.
So while I haven't heard any commentary about Christie that I disagree with (aside from the ridiculous statement from a CNN person that there should be a murder charge), the double-standard is interesting.
