Lord, if only it were so easy! one can almost hear a million narcissistic, messianic aspiring executive branch wannabes cry: Two years ago three year-old Jesse Koczon became a YouTube star when video of his I want to be Governor but can't! tantrum hit the web.

Yesterday Chris Christie granted Jesse's wish, and, boy did this kid and his brother ever take advantage of their first press conference. While in general I would prefer the youth of America aspire to careers not predicated on establishing electoral fiefdoms over their fellow citizens, I nevertheless must admit that when little Jesse described his governing style as akin to that of "a maniac" on Good Morning America I found his candor very refreshing.
