Christie Tries to Shift Attention from Scandal

The New York Times looks at Gov. Chris Christie’s in the wake of scandal, “singed by an unyielding controversy and adapting to a seemingly indefinite state of political purgatory. As he teeters on the edge of damning revelation or exculpatory relief, Mr. Christie is forging his own playbook for slogging through a slow-moving scandal.”

Said Christie: “Let’s be myself and see what happens.”

“But this version is not exactly improvised: It is put on display in carefully chosen venues, showcasing deliberate messages and revealing the determination of a gifted politician to regain control of his battered image after 53 days of limbo.”
