| The walking contradiction that is the Chris Christie campaign for Governor continued this week. Christie once again said that he would support legislation to ban dual office holding, only this time the hilarious part is not what he said, but where he was headed when saying it: to a fundraiser for dual office holder Carl W. Block who is both the mayor of Stafford and clerk of Ocean County.
He's not just accepting the support of dual office holders any more. Now he's actively helping to perpetuate the practice. Christie's response?: "It's certainly not a conflict of interest." [...]
"Listen, Carl is an outstanding guy who right now is operating under the law as it stands, which allows dual-officeholding," Christie said before the event. "But Carl knows that if I'm elected governor, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he can only have one office." Why wait until he's elected governor? Actions speak louder than words, and as the de-facto leader of the state GOP, he could use his influence to end the practice now if he wanted. But he's doing the exact opposite. Be on the look out for what Christie has to say when the "Do as I say, not as I do" tour comes to a town near you. |
