Fat Man Talking -- Governor Christie Sinks | Joel S. Hirschhorn

Joel S. Hirschhorn -- World News Trust

Jan. 11, 2014

After having many positive views of New Jersey Governor Christie mainly because he seemed like a better kind of politician, maybe being someone the public could actually trust, I now see him as just another untrustworthy, dishonest politician.

As a political junkie, I have followed very closely the whole bridgegate scandal. Today I closely listened to the two-hour press conference Christie held.

Despite all his apologizing, Christie looks absolutely terrible to all those with critical thinking capabilities.

First, though he fired his deputy chief of staff because she lied about her action as shown in an email wherein she triggered the action to close lanes on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge, he did not come close to saying she was also fired because of what she did.

He fired her because he lied about the emails? As in, she didn't tell him that she was using a private email account to communicate the plans that he had put in place?
