Okay, hear me out...

I just watched Governor Christy on Rachael Maddow and watched some real good acting. Why do I think that? Follow me here... Remember when President Obama pretended like he wanted to invade Syria- yeah, I said pretend. Well, I knew that wasn't the president that I voted for- I knew there was some other dynamic going on. My thought at the time was that he was acting - and it worked- he convinced everyone that he was serious and he was successful.
Now, follow me here. Gov. Christy- or whoever that guy was that I watched in Rachel. Totally out of character- he is usually in command- actually he is a real ass- a natural bully. But today, he was a passive, gentle, victim- I dare say.

It is my opinion that Gov. Christy has learned a lot - or the folks that manage him have. They are taking a page right from Obama and manipulating his audience to attempt to get himself out of this pending catastrophic political problem.

He was being, groomed, prepped and practiced. I'll bet it was a busy and exhausting day - both for Christie and his PR handlers. Imagine having to try to get this arrogant man to soften his demeanor and practice groveling.
