Christie: Im going to learn from thisBy Matt Bai, Yahoo News
I will learn things from this, Chris Christie told me last Friday, a little more than a week after he gave the News Conference to End All News Conferences, and a few days after the cable channels covered his annual address to the legislature in Trenton as if it were Nixon waving from the helicopter. I know I will. I dont know exactly what it is yet that Ill learn from it. But when I get the whole story and really try to understand whats going on here, I know Im going to learn things.
...................
We were sitting in a conference room at a training center for high-tech jobs in Camden, down the street from where Christie had just sworn in a Supreme Court justice. This was his first interview since he had publicly declared himself embarrassed and humiliated by the disclosure that his aides had conspired to snarl traffic on the George Washington Bridge, and Christie, who fiddled with a half-eaten pack of vending-machine muffins, seemed more subdued than usual. He described his state of mind, after hearing about the incriminating e-mails from one of his closest aides, as completely disorienting, like I got hit across the forehead with a 2×4.
way MORE sadness:

When this story first broke, I really thought it would go nowhere - just another case of politics as usual and a Republican getting away with something that would sink a Democrat.
I am so glad to have been wrong and am watching this grow and grow and grow - and getting happier with each nail in that bully's coffin.

(27,985 posts)Don't act like a mafia boss, even if you are one.
You're a civil servant, act like one.
Contrition is a useful thing in this situation, and might even gain you some support.
Don't be a dick.
Don't crack jokes when apologies are what are needed.
And that was just off the top of my head.
