New Jersey Governor Christie has new political pressures on his back, which could make him lose weight, sleep, or perhaps the opportunity to run for president over the next few months.

He previously boasted from his bully pulpit that bipartisan reforms in NJ would save New Jersey’s pension system from bankruptcy. However, a judge has ruled that the good governor violated the law. Superior Court Judge MC Jacobson has dealt a stinging rebuke of Christie’s smooth moves, and empty promises which reneged on the landmark deasl he once bragged about.

As CBS News colleague Steve Croft said, Bob Simon used to say he was a Jewish kid from the Bronx. Bob didn't tell you that he was also Phi Beta Kappa, had been a Fulbright scholar, or that he went on to become television's quintessential foreign correspondent.

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to briefly meet my Tocayo, Bob Simon and I even got to sign the huge welcome home card CBS News gave him, Peter Bluff, Juan Caldera and Roberto Alvarez after they were all released, following 40 days inside a prison in Iraq. Bob was truly a journalism jewel.
