It’s important that people think that their government not be used to bully them.
— Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), quoted by KTRK, on the scandals surrounding Gov. Chris Christie (R).
Yes, we knew Christie was a bully. But we didn’t know his crew was crazy enough to put people’s lives at risk in Fort Lee as a means to pressure the mayor. We didn’t know he would use Hurricane Sandy aid as a political slush fund. And we certainly didn’t know that Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer was sitting on a credible charge of extortion by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.
— The Newark Star Ledger, walking back its endorsement of Gov. Chris Christie (R) in last year’s gubernatorial election.
