JRB is out with his latest column looking at the exchange heard round the viral world at this point between Tom Moran and Governor Christie. While the right has gone gaga over their newest hero, Jack has a different spin:So while the notion is that Christie is an example of the mad-as-hell Tea Party rant-haver, consider that he is just another politician, insulted and pouting that even after winning 48.5 percent of the vote, his partisan power-plays can be infringed upon by pesky details like that his political opponents still have a say in things. See it that way and know that this is less a video of someone putting his foot down on political games, and more of someone stamping his feet in a partisan temper tantrum. JRB has a bonus quote of the day in the same story, because I just couldn't choose one:Gov. Christie's straight talk ends at the Republican Party line. He's brought no "common sense" to the statehouse, for he seeks no common ground. JRB's whole column is really worth a read. The Governor is getting what he wants though. People are paying attention to the show while taking their eye off the substance, just as Christie would hope. While we watch the show, it's important we keep peaking behind the curtain to point out that the Emperor has no clothes. |
