He seems jovial at times, living up to the fat guy stereotype, but I'm beginning to wonder if he IS a bully as well![]()
He's always been a bully...
Heres the thing, though. Christie was always mean, vindictive and hostile. Remember how he leaned forward and pointed his finger at Melissa Tomlinson, the teacher who challenged him on his negative talk about the schools? I am tired of you people, he snapped. What do you want? That was not an isolated incident. Jersey politicians are now coming forward with tales of his petty retaliations. Yet the media adored him. Media Matters quoted some of the most egregious examples of worshipful blather: he was different, fresh (Joe Scarborough); a happy warrior (GQ); bipartisan and a workhorse with a temper and a tongue, the guy who loves his mother and gets it done (Michael Scherer); someone who is magical in the way politicians can be magical (Mark Halperin). It didnt matter that he lost $400 million of federal school funding, or unilaterally canceled a plan to build a commuter train tunnel connecting New Jersey and Manhattan and presented it falsely as a big savings for his state, or vetoedfive timesadditional funding for family planning, directly causing six reproductive health centers to close. Christie has filled the place formerly occupied by John McCain: the straight-shooting Republican maverick (a maverick being a Republican who admits the earth is probably older than 10,000 years). It doesnt matter what he actually did or said.
