The Gadfly was not one of these wallflower liberals who developed a "bromance" crush on Chris Christie over the past couple of years - mostly because The Gadfly had done his due diligence research on the man and knew his past.
But this is what happens when you allow the shallow, lazy corporate media to manufacture national political "leaders" out of pure whole cloth and propagandize on their behalf:
WASHINGTON -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) apologized to the residents of his state Thursday, saying he had fired his deputy chief of staff and cut ties with his top political adviser after learning they had carried out a mean-spirited political payback scheme that caused massive traffic jams around the country's busiest bridge.
"I apologize to the people of Fort Lee, and I apologize to the members of the state legislature," said Christie. "I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/09/chris-christie-bridge_n_4568969.html
Honest reporters and journalists are not at all shocked or surprised by this scandal. Mostly because it fits neatly in to the pattern of political thuggery that Chris Christie has exhibited throughout most of his public service career.
Oh - and the worst is yet to come. Wait until the details emerge about the EMS call to an unconscious elderly lady wherein the Paramedics were significantly delayed in arriving on scene because of Christie's traffic snarling shenanigans. The lady ended up dying.
Stick a fork in Christie. He's one done, plump turkey as far as Presidential aspirations go. And as far as The Gadfly is concerned, America will be better off as a result.
