Dubya had a pedigree very similar to Christies, in so far as the claim that he would build bridges. Without the constraint of his legislature, I think we would see a very different Chris Christie. Chris ignored this Bridge scandal and pressured other politicians to help him sweep it away. Anyone who asked about it was ridiculed for their efforts. From the start this was a big deal that he pretended was insignificant. It was his responsibility, his duty, to look into it and he did not. Why? His inaction suggests he was on board, if not, where was his outrage? Where was the much needed investigation?
