New Jersey narcissist
By Dana Milbank, Published: January 10

Things we learned about Chris Christie during his 108-minute apologia:

“I’m a very loyal guy.”

“I’m incredibly loyal to my people.”

“I was the class president and athlete.”

Though some will say as leader that's taking charge, responsibility. But it does highlight how it's about him and effects on him and he has no concern for the people affected. However, he did a good job at the time of Sandy, and seemed to be about the people.

Bringing up that he was the class President and an athlete in high school and he didn't know what Wildstein was doing was a slam against Wildstein. He could have just said he didn't socialize with him in high school, but no, Christie had to slam him.

He's sad all right.
