Best political analysis of the day

Pierce explains Chris Christie. An excerpt:

Rachel Maddow made this point in lovely fashion last night, running a succession of YouTube videos of which Christie and his people are so proud that they’ve taken to using them to establish his bona fides as a national figure. Here’s Chris berating a public-school teacher. Here’s Chris blowing off an uppity constituent on a radio show. Here’s Chris explaining that he’s a ruff-tuff guy from Joisey who can give your attitude back to you if you cop one with him.

If there were any political advantage to pulling the wings off of flies, Chris Christie would have his own show on the Outdoor Life Network by now.
