New Jersey Governor Christie’s aid, Bridget Anne Kelly, is like so many other stuck at her level, always taking orders, never going anywhere. The stupid and spiteful act of theĀ Fort Lee lane closures is typical of the bitter power-hungry people in middle management.These are the little bosses – the department heads and principals – the banal and evil ones, like the Third Reich’s Adolf Eichmann, who do everything within their power to ruin anyone in their range and pretend they were just following orders.These are the nothings behind the failures of banks, health care websites and gun control legislation, the sad and lonely that stop traffic because they can.
And the worst thing is that we can do nothing about it unless they’re dumb enough to put it into print.
