......Chris Christie knows what his path to power is, and it leads right through the lush carpeting and free Tootsie Rolls of America's Green Rooms.

You may have forgotten that Big Chicken was considering a campaign for president of the United States. (Certainly, the United States had.) You may be thinking to yourself, how can anyone run for president when his stance on every public issue has to begin with the the phrase, "To the best of my recollection..."? You may ask yourself, hey, isn't this the guy whose former aides are currently singing the Alleluia chorus to various grand juries? But he's back now with some bold thoughts about the country's "entitlement crisis," and it is clear that Big Chicken has signed onto granny-starving in a big way. Oh, dear Lord, Joe Scarborough and David Brooks are going to be fighting over who will be first to touch the hem of his garments.

........The Base never liked him. And then there is the fact that his "record" in New Jersey has fallen to sticks and splinters. Between the whole bridge business, and the collapse of the money pit in Atlantic City, and the dingy and cronyish dynamic of his pension "reform" program -- David Sirota has been on this like a dog on a bone -- whatever "towering" Big Chicken did was reminiscent of the Monty Python sketch about the block of flats held up by hypnosis.

Now, though, he's back, and promising to do for Medicare and Social Security what he's done to the pensions of thousands of New Jersey firefighters and police officers -- namely, hand them over to his gambler pals in the financial services sector.




you may ask yourself, if there is More?:
