I’ve been none too happy with Chris Christie’s approval rating in New Jersey. The truth is that he’s been an awful governor. I can’t believe that the residents of the state have forgotten all about his crony capitalism and grandstanding against the president (Remember the tunnel he killed?!) and are just focusing on how he acted like any other governor during a catastrophe. But I’ve been hoping that it is all temporary—that in an actual campaign, his positives would be moved downward as people were reminded of the kind of governor he’s generally been.
My prayers have been answered to a small extent in Barbara Buono. She is the Democrat who is running against Christie in 2013. She seems like a very seasoned politician for a state legislator. (She makes Rubio look like the child he is!) I feel pretty certain that she will at least run a decent race. And who knows, maybe she can get the state of New Jersey to see that a couple of months of walking in the rain doesn’t make up for three years of bellicose incompetence. Plus: Christie could have a heart attack.
Here is Buono on The Last Word:
I had a friend, Laura Botchagalupo, that was murdered, and the crime was characterized as a suicide. I later investigated her murder, and found it was a homicide that was covered up. I was tormented for many years by some of her relatives, while trying to give out clues. My car was stolen in the process, by fowl play of the Automall of Woodbridge. When Governor Chris Christie, stepped into office, he promised to reimburse me for my struggles because his family was involved in this cover-up and car thief. Governor Chris Christie did this for publicity of my dislikes of his family. He never reimbursed me, but yet he tried to put on a show with the F.B.I., because of their dislikes of his family, also. The F.B.I. pushed me into the investigation, because no one in the homicide department wanted to solve the case, because they expected me to do it. I also developed some issues with the E.E.O.C., claiming I needed a private attorney for them to help me with payment issues, being I was not on the Government payroll. This investigation withdrew much money from my bank account, and Governor Chris Christie did not pay me for all my expenses. He has a terrible family problem, and I feel that it should not have interfered with my financial capabilities while being assigned to solving some of the child abuse problems I became aware of in the system. My main concern of the ethics department pertained to the protection of abused children. Governor Chris Christie, decided on showing a false interest in my investigations, because he did not want to pay me for my efforts. He put on an act, in order to cover-up those type of crimes in the system.
