Jon Corzine’s NJN Interview

Did you have a chance to see the Jon Corzine interview with Michael Aron yesterday morning on NJN TV.? If not, you can listen to the interview here. You have to laugh at the time slot the show will air again today - 6:30 am.

Anyway, it was not a powder puff interview and Corzine had to work to keep his temper under control. Corzine is not used to being challenged and it showed. Unfortunately, the archive on NJN only provides audio, so you won't be able to catch the Senator’s facial expressions and body language.

Most of Corzine’s spin was predicable, but we were surprised to hear the Senator say: “I have built a great business.” We thought it was Doug Forrester that built a successful business. When did Corzine build a business – he can’t be referring to Goldman Sachs. Goldman was founded in 1869. Corzine doesn’t mention the great business he built in his bio on his Senate website – what was he talking about?

Senator Corzine was fired from his job at Goldman Sachs and then almost immediately began his run for the Senate. We hope he’s not trying to take credit for his daughter’s tea shop, that just wouldn’t be right. We look forward to learning about this great business he built.

You know when you think about it, Corzine has never worked in New Jersey, he doesn’t own a home in the Garden State now and of course he doesn’t pay property taxes, at least not in our state. Why should Corzine’s first job in the state be as Governor?

Note to real estate agents, a man with big bucks will be looking to buy a house, because Drumthwacket isn’t for sale.
