Every Despot Needs a Villain

Recently on CNN's State of the Union program host Jake Tapper asked:

"At the national level, who deserves a punch in the face?" Without missing a beat, Chris Christie answered, "Oh the national teachers union ..."

And Christie, attempting to deflect scrutiny from his dismal, scandal ridden performance as New Jersey governor, and curry favor with conservative voters, has chosen to vilify teachers.

As Isaac Asimov noted, "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

And Chris Christie has revealed himself as the thug he is.
