I suppose the weight of Christie’s sin
Will overcome his natural buoyancy,
and allow him a pass in the presidential derby.
Strange to follow another misadventure,
Not unlike Nixon’s “I am not a crook”,
or Clinton’s
assumption that a mere dalliance could not hurt.
These smart pols do not understand, over/under betting.
They accept the
apparent odds,
While ignoring the possibility that this might be an “all
in”
moment. They see only the improbability of being caught,
and take the almost “sure thing” as a right.
“I am king of the hill” can be written on a nasty smile.
Ignoring the very little gain their action might secure,
they move on to their next potential bit of intrigue.
Nixon moved out, Christie will not move in,
and Clinton still pays.
What of the game?
Were their misdeeds really extraordinary?
Was Christie’s assertion of power unprecedented?
If so, “I have this bridge….”
