. UNITED STATES: STATES: NEW JERSEY: GOVERNMENT: His Bombast Backfired; Now Governor Chris Christie is in the Bunker His Bombast Backfired; Now Governor Chris Christie is in the Bunker Published: Sunday, September 05, 2010, 6:41 AMTom Moran/ The Star-Ledger NJ.com <http://blog.nj.com/njv_tom_moran/2010/09/ his_bombast_backfired_now_gov.html>
A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/2dv3m78>Sort through Bret Schundlers detailed account of his firing and you come to only one reasonable conclusion: He did not lie to Gov. Chris Christie, as the governor charged. He was fired as education commissioner under false pretenses.
Thats a big deal. And its a legitimate topic for the Legislature to examine, given that this firing has disrupted moves to reform New Jersey's schools.
The governors office, an impressive machine since Inauguration Day, is now in a state of panic. If they close their eyes tight enough, they seem to think, this will all go away.
The governor will not discuss it. And the gag rule goes for senior staff members who are implicated in this as well, including Chief of Staff Rich Bagger and Communications Director Maria Comella. Team Christie is in a Nixonian crouch, complete with snarling at reporters.
Ask yourself this question: If the governor had the facts on his side, would he stay quiet while Schundler takes shots at him? This is a guy who normally sniffs for battles like a hungry dog.
Democrats, after being punched silly by the governor for the last eight months, can barely contain themselves.
