Cryan & Buono on Dems' 'Back to Work NJ' bills: the press conference Drewniak called "high-pitched"

by: Rosi Efthim

Tue Jan 04, 2011 at 12:40:20 PM EST



Here is video of the press conference with Joe Cryan and Barbara Buono that Gov. Christie took such exception to, with his spokesman Michael Drewniak referring to Buono herself as"high-pitched", a comment it's hard to see as anything but sexist, and foolishly personal, as Thurman Hart pointed out last night. Note that Drewniak didn't make any such disrespectful comment about Cryan.

You can see for yourself in this video whether Buono appears high-pitched. She looks pretty calm, well-spoken and in command to me. I don't think it will be as easy for Christie or his front office to get away with as much of their pugilistic, name-calling as they used to. With some loss of their credibility, they need a new bag of tricks.

These are the majority leaders of the legislature. The Christie front office's sneer, so obviously reflecting his own, just makes them all look ridiculous, and unable to have intelligent grown-up conversation with people where some deliberation and compromise are called for. Drewniak had nothing to say about the jobs package the Democrats are rolling out except to restate his boss' own highly divisive p-o-v that everything is somebody else's fault, sidestepping any real response to the ideas being offered.

The 'Back to Work NJ' bills package is due to advance in both houses of the Legislature Thursday. Maybe by then Christie's people will have something a little better thought-out to say about it.
