Governor Chris Christie has found who is responsible for the political closing of the George Washington Bridge, which stranded thousands of people and held up police and emergency vehicles: It’s Anybody But Him.
“Not it!” he said at the press conference today. “Oh, sure, I hired all these people, some of whom were completely unqualified for their jobs. But you can’t hold me responsible for the things done by people who directly answered to me, can you?”
I mean, what did people expect him to do? Investigate it once it came to his attention? Look into it in some way and punish those involved? No, certainly, everyone clearly would rather that the media do the job, through sources and emails and phone calls and lots of investigations. Why should a Governor have to, you know, walk down the hall and ask someone?
No, what people expect from the Governor is to laugh it off and sarcastically say, “Unbeknownst to anyone, I was working the cones” as if this was not a serious thing that placed people’s lives in danger.
Hey, you never know. Maybe in a few years, working the cones will be his next job.

Well, he is a bully, so it is hardly surprising that a bully mentality should pervade his administration. What is so scary to me, so unfathomable, is that all the people involved in this mess did not give one thought to the lives of the THOUSANDS of people they were disrupting. It was just a game to them. What if they had decided to cut power to thousands of people during this cold spell? The people that did this with the traffic would do that, too. How many people’s lives did they negatively impact, not just from the traffic frustration but life-threatening situations? And they did it without a care. Without a thought. There should be some legal punishment for them. And/or the people they endangered should bring a lawsuit. Playing with people’s lives like that should not be let off with a quick firing and that’s it.
