Corzine - The Invisible Man

Read Michael Carroll’s take on Jon Corzine here.

One of his better lines: Corzine’s accomplishments as a Senator could be written on a matchbook cover, with lots of space to spare. And his platform for seeking the governorship is briefer still. So far as I can gather, he has uttered not one word about property taxes, spending, the structural deficit, or any other issue of importance to New Jersey voters.

Well, just one more: Corzine’s reputation bears no relationship whatsoever to any record of accomplishment. Indeed, from the perspective of the state, and of the nation, Corzine is about as irrelevant as it’s possible for a United States Senator to be.

Perhaps the most popular politician is an invisible one.
