Star-Ledger to Cami Anderson: Be mine, Valentine!
The Star-Ledger’s passionate, public love affair with Cami Anderson is now sliding into political porn. The newspaper’s latest editorial is a gushing, embarrassing, big wet kiss for Chris Christie’s agent in Newark. “She needs help!” cries out the knight errant editorial writer who boldly and proudly wears her scarf as he plunges into battle, a Lancelot who also was busy today apologizing for endorsing Christie. “She cannot do it alone.”
Breathless. I hear hearts beating wildly, don’t you? I hear panting. Heaving. The poor woman–out there all by herself surrounded by evil enemies. She needs, well, she needs ”civic and religious leaders to step up and be counted.” She needs charter school families to rush to her side.
Oh, please, come quickly! All ye knights of noble Christieland and ye will be rewarded by the governor-king for rescuing this damsel in distress! Charter schools for “religious leaders.” Campaign support and maybe Sandy aid for “civic leaders” like Joe D. Bond counsel positions for the sale of New Market Charter School Bonds.
Save her! Save her because–oh, my God!–she “is on the ropes.” Whoa! Mean, big, ugly, shrieking “provocateurs” wish to–oh, no, Heaven forfend, I just can’t bring myself to say what unspeakable, indecent things these beasts will do to this fair
