IT's not off topic, vengeance from a political party for taking a stand against that party is wrong no matter who it is....

I really don't care, but I do care when people make statements and determinations based on only what they know at this point and assuming that they know more than everyone else as to what is going on.

I started to care less and less about government since January 20, 2001. My care level is at E. I'm running on fumes right now.
It's actually not breaking news about the two Port Authority appointees. Those resignations came weeks ago and I have zero intentions of reading any of the emails. The reporters and investigators will sift thru that mess and release the pertinent stuff.

I was referring to the subject of the shutdown by the Teapublicans which has enough threads of its own.

If you can produce the Obama administration's equivalent of the blatantly incriminating Christie office emails to the Port Authority, you might have something there. But common sense and logic dictates that when you shut down the government, you automatically shut down government institutions which are patrolled and maintained by government employees. Not a very difficult concept to understand.

Mostly likely no one does care about the "little people". Be they at the bottom, in the middle or at the top of the administration they are still part of Christie's administration. You are accusing them of being corrupt when you claim that the Christie administration is corrupt.
Yes I am accusing a low level employee as being corrupt because that is the issue here.

Deputy chief of staff is not low level, especially when that person was slated to be the chief of staff.

I said 3 - so I was off by one. I was thinking about the two that resigned before the story broke and the aid that was fired.

Don't take what I say to you so personally. This is the second time you have done that. Do I need to use these ? or make a point that I'm not reacting to what you post, just commenting?

LOL. First you accuse the entire administration of being corrupt. Then when you were able to comprehend my post, you asked me if you should correct yourself, acknowledging the difference between some and not all.

When you make a statement that an ADMINISTRATION is corrupt you are referring to everyone that works within that administration, hence you are accusing EVERYONE from top to bottom of being corrupt. Do you need me to break it down to you the way I would to a 4 year old???

Then you say NO ONE cares about the low level employees, and here you are accusing a low level employee of being corrupt. Well, that would mean someone cares - and that would be you. Can't tell you how silly you look.

Make up you mind will ya???
The eye roll meant that the post was sarcastic.

Don't want to speak for the poster, but I think he was shooting for sarcasm there.

Meanwhile, Christie's Chief of Staff (Bridge-it Kelly' BOSS), has a hearing this week to confirm him as NJ's Attorney General! Isn't THAT just wonderful?

Yeah, this guy really knows how to run a tight ship- lets put him in charge of all 25,000 LE employees in the state
