As we know Rush is a jerk who makes a living by fomenting white resentment but he is somewhat perceptive and I have to say he has expressed the real issue in the Christie scandal better then any of the other pundits I've heard. In an article he wrote Fatal Blow after blathering about how Christie's embrace of Obama had alreay ruined him he writes this:
There's another question besides that. This aide of his that he fired, the woman who sent the e-mail: "Okay, time for traffic problems in Fort Lee." The fact that that meant what it meant means that there is a culture there. If I, in my normal day, let's say I got an e-mail: "Okay, time for traffic problems." I wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do with that. But somebody did. They knew exactly what that meant. That, to me, is quite telling, on both ends. The aide sends the e-mail, and the recipient of the e-mail knew what to do with it. Okay, time for traffic problems in Fort Lee.That pretty much nails it.Okay, well, what kind of stuff like that went on before that that was essentially the education? 'Cause I doubt there was ever a meeting, "Look, there may be a day when we'll send you an e-mail, and it'll say 'Time for traffic problems in Fort Lee.' What that means is, you close down three lanes or two lanes for a month and you cause all kinds of traffic so that we can end up blaming it on the mayor there." I doubt that meeting was ever held.
So what the e-mail means is, whoever sent it -- well, the woman that sent it and the recipient knew that that means the mayor of Fort Lee is a scumbag and it's time to get even with this scumbag, and we're gonna pay this scumbag back by ruining traffic in his town. So there's a culture there. Eventually somebody will get on to that. Right now they're just focused on whether or not he lied.
