McCord was serious when he offered to be shot if it would help the Watergate cover-up. Often these people construe "decency, integrity and sense" to mean standing by the boss at any cost. They think of it in terms of personal loyalty and value it highly. It is an attitude well exploited by the unscrupulous, not that anyone would think of accusing Mr Christie of being unscrupulous.
