Credibility is fine... you shut up.
1. Promised "40 in 4" and then immediately cut rebates. 2. Promised to eliminate patronage and then immediately Gave someone with extreme baggage patronage job with Turpike Authority. 3. Promised to push through an ELECTED, INDEPENDENT auditor and gave us an appointed stooge instead. 4. Promised to end fiscal games and is pushing the grandaddy of them all -- selling Turpike (after immoral TTF refinancing andall that other crap.) 5. Promised to end dual office holding and passed a law to make it protected for the piggish legislators who do it now. 6. Promised open government and then hid everything he could (Carla payments, Turnpike plan, Carla emails, truth about Riccio, etc) 7. Promised clean government and never speaks out about Wayne Bryant, Sharpe James, or Joe Coniglio. 8. Promised not to be tremendous dbag, but is tremendous dbag. Want more?
All Republican, All the Time?
That's odd: A pro-Republican, anti-Democratic point of view from politicsnj.com editors, particularly Tornoe's cartoons. Lest it is unclear, the content on this site tends towards talking points supported by Republicans, as evidenced by the above cartoon. What Wilson et al provideth, Tornoe and the editors writeth.
Dems are in power
You're really going to see more editorial cartoons against Dems when they control half the counties, the entire state government, the US Senate delegation and lead the House delegation. You have to expect more stuff about the people actually in power.
That said, there does seem to be a GOTCHA attitude toward the party in power here that wasn't there before the sale. This used to be an equal opportunity site.
It'd be a funnier comic if there was a check in Corzine's hand.
WE NEED
We need to hear from GOP Spokesman Todd Riffle in these ethically charged times.
Where is our Champion of Ethics Reform Riffle now? We need him more than ever!
Why is he so quiet?
Republican bias Marty?
Marty seriously? Corzine set this holier-then-thou ethical standard when running for governor and you think it a cheap shot for the cartoon guy to call out his utter hypocrisy and ethical failure? Dude, take it and like it – after McGreevey, Corzine got pass after pass during his first year in office. After that this administration has been utterly embarrassing. To call it Republican bias is laughable – this is lightweight stuff compared to what he deserves.
Cartoon
Yet another trite, uninspired, unoriginal cartoon.
