| Not that any of this is shocking to those of us who have seen his actions and heard his words up close since his Wall Street brother bought him his job as Bush US Attorney with hundreds of thousands in donations to Bush and the Republican Party in 2000.
But this latest in a long line of instances where Chris Christie abused his power as a public employee (most egregiously and frequently as US Attorney and Governor) - either for personal perks like five star hotels and limo rides or for getting out of a ticket for driving the wrong way down a one way street or driving a car without registration - is another brick in the growing wall of evidence that the Fake Crusader in the Governor's office is precisely the so-called "public employee sucking as much personal benefit from New Jersey's citizens" as he rails against at every opportunity he gets.
Even more ironic, this caricature of public employees is and has been exemplified by Chris Christie for most of his career as a public employee. Remember, this man was sued for defamation of character back in the early 90s. The buzz surrounding his ironic rise as a future face of the Republican Party is laughable, given the most cursory look into his very actions that have tried to avoid responsibility and finger point ("DisneyGate", Race to the Top and now "CopterGate"), given out lucrative no-bid deals to political pals (one who was a former US Attorney that didn't prosecute his Wall Street brother with 16 of his colleagues in the biggest securities fraud investigate to date) and repeatedly used his position AS A PUBLIC EMPLOYEE to enrich himself, his friends or his political party.
"CopterGate" may be, as "DisneyGate", "Travel expenseGate" and all of the other many "Gate"s he has been a part of were, a "blip" in the news. But make no mistake, the real Chris Christie is rapidly being exposed and showing that he is the embodiment of the "public employee from hell" that he has been ruthlessly and politically demonizing for well over a decade. |
