Wonder if he will do a Nixonian Exit? He always did like those helicopter rides...

that hopes the wife is involved. Wouldn't have that sickening smile on her face then, would she?

and I'm not passing judgment or taking a stand one way or the other, just curious. His wife and kids are a little creepy, but otherwise OK. You see them around town every once in a while. As dad implodes before their eyes, (remember a month ago? they were on top of the world) do people on DU feel any pity, or do we do the Bridget Kelly/Bill Stepien thing and say "they are the children of Christie".

I was thinking that "they are the children of Buono voters" was such a typical republican response. I was wondering if we have it in us as a group to react that way here at DU or is our general make-up different. There are times that I have the same reaction as you CherokeeDem. Sometimes not. And that is one creepy-ass smile and its always on her face.

"How can one ask for mercy
when one refuses to give to another;
If we expect to receive mercy, we should give mercy."

--St. Caesarius of Arles *c.470, 542†

How often do Republicans reciprocate mercy? In our lifetimes, which is the go to example?

human qualities and if there is indeed a difference between how a democrat would respond vs. a modern day typical republican. Or ifitsjust human nature tht they get what they deserve.

... or does he have a passing physical resemblance to Richard M. Nixon? They have the same hair and those jowls that will slap you silly if they shook their heads.

If Jackie Gleason and Richard Nixon had a baby (perish the thought!) and that baby was a boy, it would look just like Chris Christie!

reputation for bullying, not to mention he is a REPUBLICAN and we had a perfectly good Democrat who was betrayed by her own party when they endorsed this guy and by the leadership from whom she got a couple of token words and nothing else.
