He said he was arrested by several carloads of FBI agents as he drove down his street Monday morning, and complained that he was handcuffed for 6½ hours and had his legs shackled for 2½ hours. (A very over zealous Mr. Christie.)

You’ll excuse me if I trouble ginning up any sympathy for Mr. Treffinger:

Federal authorities said they secretly recorded Treffinger saying he hoped to secure a presidential appointment as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, vowing to squelch the probe into his campaign activities and turn a blind eye on political corruption.

"He tried to obtain the highest federal law enforcement office in the state with the express purpose of breaking the law," U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said at a news conference Monday afternoon. "Unfortunately, this is another sad day for politics in this state."

Maybe they could have arrested him sooner, but I see no reason to wait any longer. If the GOP in New Jersey is comfortable with politicians like Treffinger, they don’t really deserve to win any elections. Neither do the Democrats, of course, but I hold them to a lower standard, and don’t wish to join them there.

Treffenger deserves what he gets and I never supported him in either of the two Senatorial primaries in which he was running. The GOP is not comfortable with politicians like Treffenger and I did not say that. I am talking about this issue from an "election standpoint." And one more week wouldn't have mattered. Republicans like to lose elections and be the doormat for the democrat party.

Not to get off topic but when the repubs had control of the Senate, they approved all, but a few, of Clinton's judicial appointments roughly 373 of them with their tails between their legs. Now Bush is president and what do the democrats do to reciprocate, nothing, they won't approve Bush's nominees. The republicans turned into a bunch of wimps always afraid of the polls and the press. Let's see how hard Forrester debates tomorrow. Let's see how many times Forrester uses the words, Left wing and liberal. Where's his commercials attacking Lautenberg? Who really gives a crap about Tom Kean, a man working with McGreevey?

Long live Ronald Reagan (the last republican president) a man who stood by his principles regardless of what the press and polls said about him.
