Note that Christie is still very much a right winger in every way that counts, so as entertaining as this might be, don’t get too starry-eyed about him. For example, even on issues like global warming, which arguably contributed to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, Christie toes the anti-science Republican line.

Yeah, this. As hard as he’s been working to deal with Sandy damage, this is still the same guy who used state troopers to intimidate a citizen who dared to disagree with him.

However, in this case, he’s spot on.
