Back in July, the web site AshleyMadison.com was hacked, revealing the private information of tens of millions of its account holders. And now the bad news: Ashley Madison specializes in setting up extramarital liaisons between its supposedly anonymous members.
Not surprisingly, legal actions against Ashley have been sprouting like weeds. Some employees have claimed they were ordered to invent thousands of false profiles of female members to attract more men. The hackers claim they can prove that while Ashley charges extra to delete your account, they hold on to your info anyway. And of course, lawsuits have been filed by cheating spouses who feel they've been also cheated on by Ashley.
And now for the good news: Chris Christie's brother Todd was one of those cheating spouse Ashley Madison account holders -- and the hack is the best thing that could possibly have happened to him.
Todd, 51, wrote on his Ashley Madison profile: "I'm looking for someone to bring some more spice into my life. Love to have fun, in and out of bed. Love to laugh and have been blessed with a successful life. Love great red wine...lots of laughs and long passionate kissing. Willing to try most anything once..."
(When Todd) Christie was asked...about his account and the allegation...at his home in Mendham, New Jersey (he) said simply: "Walk away. Walk away."
Well, shame on Todd for being so surly -- doesn't he realize that the Ashley Madison hackers have done him an enormous favor? If I were him, I'd be grateful, and here's why:
If Todd Christie were not in the employ of either Chris Christie's presidential campaign team or his administration, I would consider this a matter that he and his wife must resolve. But as a member of his campaign team AND the person in charge of holding the purse strings, the last thing in the world Todd should be is blackmailable, because the further up the political ladder Chris Christie rises, the more blackmailable his administration could become. Dennis Hastert didn't tell anyone he was being blackmailed, and as a result, he's looking at jail time. And remember that he made it far enough up the ladder to be second in line to the U.S. presidency!
Todd Christie may end up without a marriage or a job with his brother. But at least he can't be used as leverage to force Governor (or President!) Chris Christie into acting against his constituents' best interests -- that's grounds for rejoicing!
