Over at Balloon Juice Anne Laurie collects some tweets and posts drawing interesting comparisons between Governor Christie’s behavior with his bridge troubles and a certain President of 40 years ago. What’s particularly interesting is The Wire’s David Simon’s view of Christie’s behavior.

If Mr. Christie didn’t order this mayhem himself, then he knew because the aides who achieved this carnage on his behalf were so successful in doing so that they could not have possibly held their silence. Not over the course of four long days of maintaining the traffic snarl in Fort Lee. All of us who have worked in an office, who have experienced institutional hierarchy, who have seen the wages of unthinking loyalty to the boss — we know this much.

Now that rings true.
