Reader comment on item: Chris Christie and the "Occupied Territories" Incident
Submitted by John B (United Kingdom), Apr 6, 2014 at 04:11
You write:
" . . . This is the politician reputed to "tell it like it is"? No, Christie bullies those less powerful and sucks up to those he needs. . . . "
In other words he's just a fairly normal politician?
It does not bode well for the human race when it's leaders do not have any real regard for reality, the truth, but simply for their own short-term advancement.
We are in trouble.
