| Just a few minutes ago Ed Schultz had Senator Loretta Weinberg on his national radio show for a good ten minutes or so. The main topic was his latest episode of arrogant self absorbed stupidity that is now coming to be popularly known as "choppergate".
Once again (as she did last night on his TV show) Loretta administered a soundly well deserved rhetorical spanking to the Arrogant One.
I especially applaud her for bringing up the devastatingly telling revelation of how "wrong way Christie" got away with hitting a motorcyclist who was driving the right way down a one way street while Christie was driving the WRONG WAY UP THE ONE WAY STREET...and how the Arrogant One got off 100% scott free. No ticket. No legal consequences. No political consequences.
The Arrogant One was allowed to win the NJ governorship without ever having to come clean about this dirty stinking rotten corrupt sick pathological disgusting abuse of power (though at the time that this emerged during the campaign I was screaming bloody murder about it here and demanding that the democrats use the story to deflate Christie's bubble.)
Evidently, Christie bought off the victim with a cash payoff and purchased his silence. How Christie bought off or blackmailed the cops into caving in we may never know. One thing we all DO know is that is if WE ever drove up a one way street and put another person in the hospital WE would be F****D big time!!!! That's the kind of thing that costs people their licenses and messes up their lives.
When Big Ed asked Weinberg if this latest abuse of privilege that clearly involves a mis-allocation of state resources was an impeachable offense, she was somewhat taken aback and equivocated a bit...and that's understandable given how much crap NJ pols have gotten away with over the last 50 years.....our standards have become so effing low here.......but the more I think about it, the more legit it becomes.
Imagine any OTHER state employee using their state supplied transportation that was SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED to facilitate STATE BUSINESS for their own personal and private convenience! The person would certainly be written up and disciplined and maybe even fired. But from our own Arrogant One we New Jerseyans are cowed into silent submission.
This is the vicious bastard that called for journalists to take a "baseball bat" to Senator Loretta Weinberg! He has still never apologized for that ugly and vicious verbal assault!!! From all indications the creep is proud of his brutal imagery in that attack. This is one sick puppy!!!
Given the whole pattern and context of Christie's behavior so far...I think it's entirely appropriate for the state Assembly and the state Senate to compel governor Christie to come clean about this trip and to reveal ALL the details about how he has used this chopper from day one!!! No more hiding behind "national security" bs excuses and redacting the information.
If a pattern of abuse is found Christie should indeed be impeached! If this was truly the only abuse, he needs to be held accountable by the legislature! That should be a severe sanction, including reimbursement and an apology to the people of NJ!!!
Christie was elected to be our governor, not our KING!!!
And if any Republicans want to make this into a partisan issue by "standing up for their man" then they need to be equally taken to task. What Christie did with this helicopter was at the very least, unethical and arrogant. He owes us, at the very least, an apology and some cash.
If Christie once again fails to comply with the norms of common human decency and with, in this case, legal requirements of full disclosure, he needs to be impeached and removed from office!!! |
