re: #87 Targetpractice

I’ve noticed others commenting on how Christie kept acting as if the “crime” was not that people in his office caused four straight days of needless suffering to the people of Fort Lee or possibly contributed to the death of a 91 year old woman. It’s that they “violated his trust” and how sad he was that they’d do that.

And that, again, is what bugs me. Screwing over political opponents is stock in trade for that business, and it is to be expected in cases such as judicial appointments. But using commuters as pawns in a power play is completely unacceptable and shows a completely boorish, bullying sense of politics.
