Chris Christie-Accounts of Petty Retribution Reinforce Christie’s Bullying Image

[calimary]

39. Welcome to DU, abakan!

Glad you're here. Indeed. Poor impulse control. Just what we'd want in a leader who has "the button" at his fingertips.

ALSO - even if he blows it off on his two aides, that's still a huge problem. It's not just the winning candidate. It's WHO HE/SHE WILL BE BRINGING IN WITH HIM.

You say george w bush, you also say cheney, rummy, kkkarl rove, contradicta, dougie feith, paul wolfowitz, gonzales, scooter libby, etc., and the accursed PNAC people (MANY of whom, btw, were itching to get back in with mccain/palin and four years later, romney/ryan - many of those war-hungry fiends were on the foreign policy advisory teams).

You say ronald reagan, you also get bush senior, lee atwater, james watt, oliver north, ed meese, and a shitload of criminals.

You say richard nixon, you also get spiro agnew, haldeman, ehrlichman, john mitchell, original dirty-tricker donald segretti, charles colson, and all kinds of fucking riff-raff, indicted AND unindicted coconspirators.

With the last two, nixon and reagan, I believe the statistic of note was that they both had more administration figures indicted for corruption and subsequently jailed for it than any other administrations in American history. I believe nixon held the record until st. ronnie and his merry band of bastards came along.
