"Scandals"--often manufactured--come and go in politics, and are seldom consequential over time. What does remain is the impression the politico made in handling the scandal: Did he enhance our confidence in him, or not? Usually the politico has to make an early and overpowering counterattack, or create a case-closing admission or apology.
The Christie affair has dragged on far too long for him to have put it behind--much less enhance our view of him. It could get much worse.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
