At warp speed, the governor of New Jersey has gone from the most popular politician in the country to the most embattled; from the Republicans’ brightest hope for 2016 to a man with an FBI target on his back. One minute, he was releasing jokey vanity videos starring Alec Baldwin and assorted celebrity pals; the next, he was being ridiculed by his lifelong idol, Bruce Springsteen. Mere weeks ago, Christie was a straight-talking, corruption-busting everyman. Now, he is a liar, a bully, a buffoon. What is remarkable about this meltdown is that it isn’t the result of some deep secret that has been exposed to the world, revealing a previously unimagined side to the candidate. Many of the scandals and mini-scandals and scandals-within-scandals that the national media is salivating over have been in full view for years.

Democrats are enthused in the Garden State and beyond, Republicans are somewhat surprised that someone with the political connections of Chris Christie is under the microscope. The general public appears to be genuinely shocked that the Christie administration would wilfully endanger the lives of citizens by having three local lanes from Fort Lee to Manhattan converge on just one single toll lane on the George Washington Bridge.  Those of us who have been following the Governor are not surprised at all, sadly. It is par for the course with the Christie administration. It looks somewhat like an episode of the long-running, popular show, "The Sopranos,' very loosely based on the mafia crime families of Northern New Jersey.  However, back on December 20th, during a presser in Trenton, Christie stated that the bridge controversy is "not that big a deal.'
