Quotable: Maureen Dowd

THE NEW YORK TIMES' FLAME-HAIRED VIXEN has written another good column on the 'bromance' between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and President Obama. Here she cites some smart White House officials "flummoxed" by Christie's bearhug of the President:

"They speculate that Christie, who always puts Christie first, has decided that it’s better for his presidential ambitions to be a maverick blue-state governor with a Democratic chief executive exiting in 2016 than to have President Romney and Tea-Party Republicans in Congress pulling him over to the extreme right for the next eight years. He also knows he’ll need a boatload of federal cash to make his state whole again."
