and he s going to have to weather it becoming a bigger thing. and i m not sure if you look at the body language, you look what s going on, that necessarily they ve accepted the fact that this is going to become a lot worse before it becomes better. steve, i ve been trying to predict exactly what republicans would say on a presidential campaign debate stage about this, and we now hear from rick santorum, we don t have time to run this up, but what he said this weekend is personnel is policy, and the people you that hire are the policies that are implemented. rick santorum did a very effective job, in 20 seconds, of using this in a very hard shot against chris christie. no doubt. look, one of the things that chris christie has done very effectively as a political leader is he s gone out and he s given lectures about leadership. he said this is how you function as an effective leader, these are the shortcomings of the president, these are the shortcomings of republicans in congress.

his ability to be a serious candidate for president. that being said, when you do the asked and answered, stand up there for two-hour news conference, one of the ways you judge its effectiveness is not in the immediate aftermath. because he did a fantastic job in my book by all measure. but what leaders develop out of that while you react in the days after? and when you look at the e-mails that are coming out. when you talk about the standard he laid out for stepien and for the deputy chief of staff. how do you not apply that to other officials in the administration? so he s just opening himself up to more questions. there s not a lot of great answers. there s going to be hearings. someone s going to get immunity. so in order to run for president he has to survive this scandal as governor of new jersey. and this scandal, and with all respect to members of my party, and i m a fan of chris christie s, but this is going to become a bigger thing before it becomes a smaller thing.

guy s guy you re in constant danger of slipping out and saying something that s going to get you in trouble and make you look like a sexist or make you look like you seem thuggish or whatever. that s the atmosphere in which he operates. this guy s very much an old-fashioned masculine muscular guy, and there are political risks associated with that. maybe it shouldn t be, but that s how it is. we will have more stupid things said about chris christie coming up. and next, more on the scandal that i believe has already ended chris christie s political future.
