Far too many of them are just there as placeholders, ensuring that the money flows in the wrong direction. It's nice to see, for a change, a Republican who really worries about people in a crisis and has the skills to go about doing it right.

I expect we'll all be cursing Christie's name for some cheap shot he's taken at Democrats at some point in the next few months. But right now I'm not feeling scorn towards the man. He knows where the game ends and the job begins.
