Gov. lowers flags for Whitney, says drug use irrelevant
Lowering the flag to half-staff is usually a ritual observed for dignitaries, members of the military or heads of state. New Jersey Goveor Chris Christie made an exception for Garden State native Whitney Houston and has since come under fierce criticism from traditionalists.
Christie defended his decision Wednesday, stating that because of \"her history of substance abuse that somehow she's forfeited the good things that she did in her life. I just reject that on a human level.\" Christie ordered flags at public buildings to be lowered Saturday, the day of Houston's funeral in her hometown of Newark.
Does Whitney Houston deserve to have flags lowered for her?
