Well, this isn’t a pissing contest I want to take part in.

All I will say is that back in the very early 90’s the gubernatorial election featured a slogan that I will never forget— “Vote for the crook, it’s important!”
This came about because a notoriously corrupt former governor, Edwin Edwards, was running against a former grand wizard of the KKK, David Duke.

Since then, both have spent time in the federal pokey. Edwards is still doing time.

I like that! “Vote for the crook, it’s important.” That’s a refreshing bit of candor. The sad thing is that in NJ, being a crook is considered the normal way of doing business. Even our so called republicans are content with working the system since it also pays them well. The corruption knows no boundaries. Our Gov. says that him forgiving his girlfriend’s loans in none of our business. This even though she is the head of the State’s workers union and he has to negotiate the union contract this year. It is a very sad state of affairs. A beautiful state, but totally out of control.
