Yes, I understand that
Whether he ordered it, or knew about it (or not) this scandal goes right to his image as a take charge leader who doesn't mince words. It reveals him to be just another typical politician engaged in political corruption and when he caught, he engages in the same sort of political talk (ie "I take responsibility but I didn't know anything") that every other crooked pol uses to evade responsibility.
In addition, because the bridge closing was such an obvious example of political overreach and abuse of power, the media is now free to dig up every instance in which he has thrown his (political) weight around and use it to reinforce the image of him as corrupt politician.
Now, every deal he has made, every contract his state has awarded, and every endorsement he has received, will be looked into for signs of political favoritism and quid pro quo.
Exactly...
Sorry, you were quicker to reply than I anticipated, thus I made the second post not realizing that you had already responded to the first post. Brrrrrrrrrrrr...now I've had too much caffeine... :lol:
