BRIDGEGATE

These two quotes says all.

“I know every politician spins the truth a little”. Zach Braff
“Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either”. Aesop

Friday’s papers and TV commentators have been focused on (GW) Bridgegate. I have no knowledge of facts and can only make assumptions as all of us do.

The planning and execution of the lane closings may not have been done with Christies consent. That is probably true, since he is too good a politician to expose himself to the risk of a major backlash.

It is always possible that some underling may have reacted to a Christie comment and thought it a good idea. Or more likely an upper level aid for their own personal reasons decided to abuse the power they had.

None the less, it is inconceivable that Christie did not become aware, since there was public outrage and accusations immediately upon the incident. To claim that his first knowledge was just now; and that he acted promptly to punish those responsible is a stretch of credibility.

Once again politicians have revealed their stupidity and arrogance by believing that emails are sacred and private.

There is no electronic data that is safe and immune from intercepting (hacking). This is one of the fallacies of the Obama social planners’ belief in the privacy of the EHR-electronic health record.

Another misconception about the HER is their accuracy and availability to other health care providers; as I have noted several times in the past few years in this blog.

Yes, even our President and his subordinates have been guilty of disinformation and obfuscation regarding ACA.

Bridgegate will be New Jersey’s gain. Our Governor will no longer need to focus on his Candidacy for the Presidency. He will now have one goal; a positive finish to his second term as Governor.
