The Indomitable Snow Man

Of all the stories told about the blizzard this weekend, Newark's Mayor Cory Booker came out the biggest hero. He turned his twitter feed into an emergency dispatch unit and hit the streets to aid his citizens, one by one. He literally dug people out of snowbanks, checked on the elderly and even helped deliver a baby.

In contrast, the conservatives' favorite bully boy, NJ Gov. Chris Christie rolled out of town for a trip to Disneyworld, and his Lt. Governor skulked off to Mexico, both just barely ahead of the storm. Unsurprisingly, they left it to a Democrat to deal with the mess they were leaving behind.
