I used to work as part of a forensic team at the county mental health clinic. I think Christie is an educated liar, and a self-righteous, spoiled brat. And I think he has a legal team advising him. But I don't see anything brilliant there.

Of course, I might be a cranky old fart, caught up in generational pride, insisting that men like LBJ and Nixon were the last of the brilliant liars in American politics, and that today's champions couldn't have competed in the Good Old Days!
