Chris Christie Didn't Know What Was Going On. Presidential!

Declaring himself the victim of betrayal because his closest staff didn't tell him they were being assholes on his behalf isn't the way a no-nonsense, shoot-from-the-hip governator rescues himself from disgrace. Or is it?

Parse this statement: America loves its leaders to be victims.

Really?

Read Eugene Robinson about Christie the Victim. (I thought his handle was Christie the Impaler.)

Then read Dan Balz about Christie the Damaged. (I thought his handle was Christie the Damager.)

To be repetitive: Presidential? Really?

Christie 2016: In your heart, you know he's not a bully.

Really?

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
