What kind of politician is Chris Christie? If you buy Christie's
explanation at a news conference Thursday, the New Jersey governor is a
victim. He is the victim of a scheming, lying aide and a scheming, lying
old high school friend he appointed to the Port Authority. And because the
investigations are just getting started, he may learn of other scheming,
lying members of his administration who have driven this poor man's
reputation into a ditch.
.
Christie insisted that he knew nothing of a vindictive plan to shut a
couple lanes of traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., near the George Washington
Bridge to punish a mayor who declined to support the governor in the
recent election.
.
"I am who I am, but I am not a bully," Christie implored.
.
Do you believe that? Time will tell as more is uncovered.
.
Either way, it is instructive to note that even at this political low
point, Christie spent more time bemoaning how he was lied to than
empathizing with the thousands of New Jersey and New York residents harmed
by this petty plot. The bridge is a major artery connecting people to jobs
and routing all sorts of commerce -- not to mention its role for
life-saving ambulances that were delayed by the traffic gridlock.
.
Christie has fired his deputy chief of staff and his former campaign
manager, both people who would have been important players in his expected
bid for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

.
For now, let's take the governor at his word that he had no idea what his
inner circle of aides was doing. "What did I do wrong to have these folks
think it was OK to lie to me?" he implored, rhetorically, at his presser.
.
Glad you asked, governor.
.
There is nothing new under the sun about retaliatory pettiness. It's
common enough in politics, in the workplace and elsewhere.
.
An effective political executive ought to know what qualities to look for
in his or her staff, including a baseline sense of morality and duty, and
that executive should model those qualities as well. Power corrupts, as we
all know, and it does so all the more quickly in an administration whose
leader lacks self-control. As the questions were first raised about the
lane closings last September, Christie sarcastically brushed the
contention aside. He even joked that he had personally laid the cones
closing two lanes of traffic.
