One was expecting the orgy of scandal mongering that the liberal media let loose on Christie [although I do find myself regardless still somewhat taken aback by the brazen hypocrisy of it given the many and significantly less covered sins of Obama, sins of much more questionable veniality compared to those ascribed to the big guy] - can't say that I was expecting how badly some conservatives would want to join in on the fun, though. Seems the far right truly dislikes Christie, either that or so long for the coming of a hyper conservatism embodied in the likes of Cruz that they relish the opportunity to remove 'moderates' like Christie as obstacles to that great reckoning.
I find the fervid dreams of the far right to be quite delusional and oddly romantic in a disturbing sort of way - like finding the ramblings of a stalker romantic given their passion - but I must say that I increasingly am coming to view some of their criticism of Christie as vaguely legitimate - as in it's hard to believe that his underlings would engage in such foolish hardball behavior without Christie, either directly or by proxy, having indicated that he was fine with such hardball behavior regardless of whether or not he specifically signed off on this particular example of hardball behavior. That this stuff did happen may indeed say something negative about Christie and consequently that negative impression may be hard to shake given that so many on the left and less so on the right have a vested interest in seeing him not shake it.
That being said, I still say this episode says much more, in comparison, about the corruption of the Obama administration and the sympathetic submissive media that enables it than it says about the good and bad of Christie.
