She kept Luca Brasi GWB on front burner for months, and she was right.
If only there were some kind of clue for people to recognize that it's a comedy show...
Eh, I don't think this dereails his presidential bid. Honestly, we'll have forgotten it by the time 2016 comes around. People will bring it up, and no one will really care.
Say the N word? Yeah, your campaign is toast.
Cheat on someone? Probably.
Close a bridge and piss off a lot of people and maybe be slightly culpable in the death of a 91 year old? Not really going anywhere.

CHRISTIE URGES MEDIA TO FOCUS ON WEIGHT
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie lashed out at the media today, saying that it had "failed to focus on the single most important issue regarding me, which is my weight."
At a press conference in Trenton, Christie yelled at a room full of reporters, accusing them of doing the public a disservice by not devoting all of their coverage of him to the issue of his body mass.
"How much I've weighed in the past, how much I weigh now, and how much I'm eating - that's all you clowns should be writing about," he yelled. "Anything else is just a distraction."
Adopting a threatening tone, Christie told the reporters, "If you know what's good for you, your next story will be about how tubby I am."
The governor made only one reference to the notorious bridge-closing scandal, offering this alibi: "At the time that decision was made, I was busy shouting at a teacher."

Rampgate doesn't have legs.
It has exposed Luca Brasi in a very bad light, and the investigation is far from over. NY AG's and US Attorneys are all on the case. NJ AG was appointed by Luca, so that's a non-starter conflict of interest.
Keep hope alive!
Jon Stewart: Yes, Chris Christie did ‘set a tone’ — and it was ‘F-U sharp’

Christie asked Cuomo to back off investigating Fort Lee. In mid-December.
In what seems like ages ago in the Chris Christie Gina Close-a-your-bridgeda scandal saga, the WSJ reported something that looked exceptionally fishy at the time; that Christie had talked with Andrew Cuomo and asked him to get Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, to back off investigating the Fort Lee bridge closure.
Mr. Christie, a Republican, complained in a private phone call to Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, that Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was pressing too hard to get to the bottom of why the number of toll lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J. was cut from three to one in early September, according to this person. The lane closures occurred without notice to local authorities, officials have said, and snarled traffic for a week in the small borough on the Hudson River bluffs.
According to the WSJ story, that phone call was the week of December 12.Yeah. Kind of makes Christies little press "performance piece" this morning look like the firehose of lies that it actually was.
Among the mounting stream of evidence that shows Christie knew damn well what was going on, this one would seem to be the final nail in the coffin.
And it's very easily proven ... if Governor Cuomo has the backbone to be a proper partisan and put his boot on Christie's neck.
He doesn't have to do it personally. Heck, the WSJ would be HAPPY to report the facts if they just got the nod ... they're the ones with the connections to "a person familiar with the matter," which by the sound of it has to be someone in Cuomo's office anyway.
Ball is in your court, Andy. End Christie's political career.

Darrin, if you noticed (and obviously you didn't, because, hey, you're Darrin), I used the words "maybe" and "slightly". I don't hold it against him (she was 91, after all) but others might.

New Bridge Scandal Emails: PA Official Said Christie Team's Lane Closure "Violates Federal Law"
Source: Mother Jones
Read more: http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2014...e-law-christieIn a September 13 email released Friday by the New Jersey Assembly panel probing Republican Gov. Chris Christie's George Washington Bridge scandal, Port Authority executive director Patrick Foye wrote that the decision to shut down access lanes to the bridge violated state and federal laws.
"I believe this hasty and ill-advised decision violates Federal Law and the laws of both States," Foye noted, explaining his decision to reopen those lanes to traffic. "I am appalled by the lack of process, failure to inform our customers and Fort Lee and most of all by the dangers created to the public." Foye sent his email after four days of heavy traffic jams caused by the closures to nearly a dozen officials at the Port Authority, including chairman David Samson, a Christie appointee.
-snip-
On Thursday, Christie expressed confidence that Samson played no part in causing the Fort Lee traffic disaster, saying, "I am convinced that he had absolutely no knowledge of this, that this was executed at the operational level and never brought to the attention of the board of commissioners." Yet when Foye ordered the lanes reopened on September 13, David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority official wrote to a Christie staffer, "We are appropriately going nuts. Samson helping us to retaliate."
Another email released on Friday shows an effort to keep the story from going public. On the night of September 13, Foye received an email from Bill Baroni, a Port Authority official appointed by Christie (who resigned in December as the scandal was unfolding). It read, "I am on my way to the office to discuss. There can be no public discourse."
-snip-
At the press conference Christie was just shocked...shocked I tell you, that his staff was capable of lying to him about their involvement in the GWB scandal. So why was he twisting Cuomo's arm last month in an effort to keep this story quiet? If you don't believe Christie is involved in this, I've got a bridge to....
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...54012674389146New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie called New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week to complain about a Cuomo appointee's handling of a growing controversy over traffic pattern changes on the George Washington Bridge, a person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Christie, a Republican, complained in a private phone call to Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, that Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, was pressing too hard to get to the bottom of why the number of toll lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J. was cut from three to one in early September, according to this person.

What kind of s do you hire that pull this lane closure .
Its as bad as Barry's Chicago asshole appointments.
They reveled in what they had done.
Chris Christie's Not in the Clear Yet. These Text Messages Show Why
By Andy Kroll and David Corn at Mother Jones
http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2014...a-text-message"SNIP......................................
Here's the backstory. The traffic jam happened on the week of September 9 and quickly became a local controversy. Lawmakers began investigating, and on November 25, Bill Baroni, another Christie appointee at the Port Authority, testified before the New Jersey Assembly's transportation, public works, and independent authorities committee. Baroni told lawmakers that the lane closures were part of a study to determine whether Fort Lee should have three dedicated lanes leading onto the George Washington Bridge.
State lawmakers didn't buy Baroni's explanation. "I think that at best this was clumsy and ham-handed," said committee chair John Wisniewski, a Democrat. "At worst, this was political mischief by a political appointee."
Immediately after his testimony, according to do ents released this week, Baroni texted David Wildstein asking how Christie administration officials in Trenton, the state capital, had reacted to his testimony:
David Wildstein: You did great
Bill Baroni: Trenton feedback
Bill Baroni: ?
David Wildstein: Good
Bill Baroni: Just good?
David Wildstein: No i have only texted brudget and Nicole they were VERY happy
Bill Baroni: Ok
David Wildstein: Both said you are doing great
David Wildstein: Charlie said you did GREAT

So you voted for a neocon pretending to be a libertarian instead of just a flat-out neocon
Here's Rudy...right on cue..
Read more: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer....html#comments"This was very, very refreshing," said Rudy Giuliani of the New Jersey governor's explanation. "We've had a couple of years in Washington with a lot of situations like that IRS thing and Benghazi. We have a president who ... never takes accountability, never fires anybody." Christie, he added, "acted like a chief executive."
Yeah, Christie was completely accountable...
Being for gay marriage, abortion, free trade, decriminalization of marijuana, and due process makes you a neocon? Clipnation, do you even know what a neocon is? I mean I know you are too busy praying every night before you go to bed that Christina Paul makes a miraculous speedy recovery but maybe you should do some reading on the neocons.
