"...a secretive, devious officeholder with a taste for luxury and a thin skin..."
http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/they-hate-him-they-really-hate-him.html
On Sunday, our @issue section featured our own annual gubernatorial report card on Christie, as well as the results of a reader survey conducted by the Asbury Park Press, our sister paper, as well as this newspaper. He received little more than Cs and Ds from us on a variety of issues, and he flunked in a few areas for 2015, when he has essentially checked out to run for President.
But from the readers’ perspective, we were generous. More than 1,300 people responded and they found Christie to be a failure across the board, the majority giving him Fs in every policy area. It is a remarkably negative assessment that also reflects recent polling that shows Christie’s approval rates in the state at all-time lows.
Readers’ worst marks were reserved for Christie’s total lack of transparency as governor. From the Bridgegate debacle to his refusal to expose security-detail expenses forced upon taxpayers to fund Christie’s campaigning, the governor is widely and rightly seen as a secretive, devious officeholder with a taste for luxury and a thin skin.
