— Ace Fired Christie aide Bridget Kelly's friends are putting out the word that she's not the type to go rogue on a bridge closing.
The NYT reports:
“She follows the chain of command,” said a friend who, like nearly everyone contacted for this story, insisted on anonymity to avoid being caught up in the continuing investigations. “She’s not a cowboy.”…
The New York Times seems, get this, a bit invested in pushing its strong suggestion that Kelly acted under orders. Here are their other proofs for the proposition that Kelly would not have acted on her own initiative:
At first glance, nothing about Ms. Kelly’s life — not her strict Catholic upbringing; her close-knit extended family; her decision to send her children to the same Catholic schools she attended in her hometown, Ramsey; or her fierce loyalty to her political mentors — would suggest anything but a dutiful, behind-the-scenes role player.
Seriously, New York Times? Your main proof that she only acts as ordered is that she's Catholic?
Oh I see. Catholics, being zealous footsoldiers of the Invisible Army of Rome, are hierarchical to a fault.
I don't consider it silly to suggest that Christie ordered this or had knowledge of it. What I object to is the ludicrous lengths to which the New York Times is willing to go to sell its progressive readers on the preferred progressive narrative about the main threat to the progressive succession in 2016.
AllahPundit observes:
It says “at first glance” because the article goes on to cite other Jersey pols who say Kelly seemed to change once she made Christie’s inner circle, becoming more “brusque” and insular and seemingly enjoying the payback she was dishing out. Peggy Noonan spitballed the same possibility in her column the other day: Give a low-ranking political hack a taste of real power and there’s no telling how they’ll behave.
Yeah, but that's normal political hacks, not, you know, Catholic Flesh-Robots of the Inexorable Papist Subversion.
And speaking of, Ed Morrissey has some thoughts on US News & World Report's argument that insane anti-Catholic bigotry is simply "fair commentary."

Judging from what I see from the other side deciding it is spoils system time, I would appreciate Bridget Kelly (if she is/was a conservative), although I would want her to be more specifically targeting to leftists rather than the general bridge crossing populace.

1. A Republican leader is actually capable of throwing an underling under the bus to limit scandal damage.
2. This will not help said Republican leader when the news media is overwhelming in favor of the Democrats.
3. Christie's presidential aspirations are being slaughtered well in advance of a decision to even commit to a campaign. Once again our candidates are being chosen for us without a vote being cast. (No, I probably wouldn't vote for him, but I'll never see his name on an Ohio ballot now.)

Yes, it is. Or it would be if we had an electorate that understood why government at all levels must be on short leashes.

That's on interpretation. The truth is somewhat more evenhanded. The Church sets out goals and aims based upon the Gospel. The means of achieving those goals and aims varies based upon political systems available for delivery. That means that the Church will not endorse a party or candidate, nor do they dictate forms of government or methods of delivery, but they do judge outcomes based upon the imperatives of the Gospel.
Make no mistake, many IN the Church think that She supports leftist political systems, but that is not the case. For that matter, many leftists IN the Church think She is not far enough along the leftist spectrum, and some of them have incurred excommunication for such nonsense as " liberation theology," and other leftist tripe.
It is more complicated than your comment would suggest.

Is it her complete lack of compassion driven by the understanding we should all provide her a woman scorned, well how many times who knows, that we should use to satisfy our curiosity of small matters like the truth and not ask questions because it is...impolite?

I love how Peggy Noonan has already judged her guilty and refers to her as a low level hack.
That's Peggy Noonan folks. Bitch helps write one speech and somehow she is a guru?? She's picked as a guru because she's a fucking moron and left of center.
This bitch hurts the GOP cause more than the entirety of MSNBC.

Meh, it's win/win for them. It's still far enough out from the actual campaign that they can harp on it for a while without doing too much long term damage. Then they can go back to pimping Christie to become the nominee as the preferred moderate candidate, and if/when he's made the candidate they can turn around and re-savage him over this same issue. PLUS, they'll have lots of out-of-context columns and soundbytes from other Republicans speaking out on Christie's behalf*, which they can use to make it seem like ALL Republicans are in favor of using the power of government to seek petty, vindictive revenge on political enemies.
*Except that they ACTUALLY spoke out against the MFM's lopsided coverage of Bridgegate compared to, say, Obama trying to CLOSE DOWN SCENERY. To the MFM, this is the same as "sticking up for Christie."

They don't imply shit unless you already made up your mind. We have no idea if we have seen all the emails and texts or only what was cherry-picked for leaks by the Democrats to make Christie look as bad as possible. You ask me whether I believe Chris Christie, career lawyer and prosecutor, or a bunch of New Jersey Democrats? That's not a close call.
There are few groups slimier in American life than New Jersey Democrats. These are the people who chose Jim McGreevy and Jon Corzine as their standardbearers and had no investigation at all when it was revealed that Corzine was screwing the head of the biggest state employees union while his government was negotiating with same union. No investigation after Corzine almost died because a state trooper was driving him 100 mph to a political fundraiser. No idea at all that McGreevy was queer or had his boy toy on the state payroll serving as Homeland Security Director, right after 9/11, and the guy wasn't even an American citizen.
But close a couple lanes on a bridge for 4 days and SCANDAL!!11!! Must investigate!!1!1! Must hire special counsel!11!1!1!

The NYT previewed this whole thing in December with an article proclaiming Christie a bully who loves to screw his opponents, and "asking the question" of what kind of President such a man would be. That's the Approved Narrative. I think they were planning a long rollout of this narrative, but just sped up the schedule when the emails were leaked to another newspaper in New Jersey.

Because the Pope's a fucking Marxist.
How can you conflate calling out the Pope with calling out Catholics sport?
The Pope is a dude not Christ reborn, and implying that Chris Christie is a mindless thrall to the Pope is a different kettle of fish than calling out the Pope for his fucking economics ideas.

Comes creeping on so haunting every tiem
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides

#235 - I think the game has changed. The game now is to permanently ruin the Republican brand nationally so they don't ever have to worry about losing an election. The MSM/Democrats think they have defined Republicans nationally as far-right, racist, sexist, mean-to-the-poor, only-care-about-the-rich-white-folks assholes. So they want GOP candidates that fit this caricature. Christie doesn't. That's why they're trying to sink him now. They see pretty much every other possible canddiate as someone they can easily caricature and Hillary can easily defeat.
