I agree with you that the State Flag would have been more appropriate, but I feel that if his actions were political, I don't feel that they're as political as the mass effort to crucify Christie over it. I also have to say... where were the nay-sayers, if this is such a big deal lack of judgment, when Christie ordered flags lowered for the famous saxophonist Clarence Clemons when he died last year? Nary a word was heard about that was there? Sounds to me like the issue is more about a moment of political opportunity to demonize than a laps of judgment in bestowing an honor!
