Words of wisdom from the deep south

Once more from Mostly Cajun, All American and Opinionated:

I watched the hoopla around New Jersey Governor Christie. I liked him, in his place. It’s a matter of perspective: When you consider that he’s Governor of New Jersey, anybody to the right of Josef Stalin looks good. But not on the national stage. What passes for ‘conservative’ in the Northeast comes off as a flaming commie in the piney woods of Texas or the rice fields of south Louisiana.

Sorry… If he does make the “It’s his turn” list of the Republican Party in 2016, we’re just adding to the string of mediocrity that brought us the likes of Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney, wherein we take a country club Republican and try to pass him off as an alternative to whatever the Left throws up.

Second thing: The mainstream media has spent more time over the Christie administration’s maliciously shutting down the exits off a major traffic artery than they did over Benghazi. Or the disappearing red line in Syria. Or the re-taking of Fallujah by Al Qaeda. Or Holder’s DOJ. Or the IRS shutting down conservatives before the last election. Or anything else.

But you know what? I can see them shutting up soon, making noises like ‘Yeah, that’ wasn’t Christie. That was people below him. He didn’t know…” Like they all of a sudden decided to play nice. Until the election. Then you can bet they’ll crank this and everything else back up.
