New Jersey Governor and man with his own gravity field
Chris "Krispykreme" Christie is watching as Rethuglican power brokers and office holders are keeping their distance (and not just because of the gravity field thing). Each week brings a new set of documents or recordings that expose his immediate office as a nest of reckless and vindictive hoods taking pleasure in causing pain and inconvenience to others. He's clearly even more worried that the investigation conducted by the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey may find his fingerprints on a memo or e-mail that would show his involvement or knowledge of wrongdoing or fraud regarding the Hurricane Sandy relief funds, or some other pay-to-play scenario like the Hoboken case.
So what's Gov. Krispykreme to do? Why,
change the subject, of course. He's doing town hall meetings in safely Rethuglican districts, going on radio talk shows with his 10 year-old daughter in tow to deflect some of the more pointed questioning, and doing the kinds of small ball, public service events that governors do when they want to seem relevant. Oh, and he's also feeding the Teapublican base by continuing to bash New Jersey's public employees' pension needs. Sadly for Krispykreme, he can't wish the scandals of his administration away that easily.
