With His Holiness The Dalai Lama, at His home in Dharamsala, India (Synthesis Dialogues - made into a movie narrated by Harrison Ford)
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
No. Unless it gets connected directly to him, or a pattern of 'bullying" is made clear to the voters( and many voters will look at bullying as an asset in public office rather than a detriment) I don't think this will have much effect outside of some of the drivers in NY and NJ who were fuming in traffic for three days. The two hour mea culpa was a little "too much" and just gives me the inner feeling that he is quite nervous, and if so, that could be related to additional instances of behaviors that have been quashed-at least for the time being. People with knowledge of detrimental behaviors on his part, if they are political enemies, would probably want to wait until much closer to 2016 elections before going public with such information. I think those possible factors will have much more influence on the 2016 elections than BridgeGate.
It really depends on how many of his former employees end up in the Hudson River wearing cement boots.
Based on everything I've seen over the past 40 yrs or so, yes, people will forget all about it by 2016.
