Chris Christie Faces The 'Bridge-Gate' Music As US Attorney Opens Inquiry - Live Press Briefing

Tyler Durden's picture




 

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has expressed how "outraged and deeply saddened" he is by the revelations that a lone-shooter in his team would close highway lanes to exact political retribution against anyone. In the tradition of the current White House, he saw/knew/heard nothing of course. Things just escalated a little more...

  • *US ATTNY IN NJ TO OPEN INQUIRY INTO LANE CLOSURES, NYT SAYS
  • *N.J. GOV. CHRISTIE SAID TO FIRE TOP AIDE BRIDGET KELLY:NY POST

We can only hope that the 'briefing' includes a Q&A as the always fiery Christie will, we are sure, come out swinging.

I guess in that part of New Jersey (I grew up 5 miles west of the George Washington Bridge) the initials GWB refers to the bridge, not #43. Regardless, it's Bush's fault.

It's a good thing guys like Christie and Obama and Holder and ETCETERA can work in public office because for how little they know about WTF is going on around them, they'd never make it in the private sector as anything more than a floor sweeper.  Can you imagine a sales manager telling his general manager, "I didn't know Brittany was selling for 15% less than what we bought it for - I was simply not aware, sorry.  She didn't tell me so I didn't know."  Fired, that's what would happen....

I can't wait for the press conference where he comes out, bites his lower lip and says: "I did not have sex with that bridge."

It looks like that race for the white house has officially begun with the liberal media going after one of the most prominent GOP candidates

How Christie handles this will determine whether he has a chance to run for President.  It is the first skeleton that the liberal media will pull out of his closet.  Otherwise, he can assume that every past action he has take will be pulled out, and every second of every day he will be photographed and recorded as the media tries to find Christie's smoking gun that will get Hillary into the White House.

The smoking rectum of our ambassodor to Egypt will be a challenge for Hillary as will the infamous and viral gloat over Ghadaffi's murder:  "We came, we saw, he died . .  hahahhahaaa"

Glenn Beck had the perfect name for this scandal, Fat And Furious.

I see a third party run in his future his main attraction would be his promise to punish both dems and republicans

Tell you what enloe...that scenario is not too far fetched. Even before this, he would have probably gotten more votes as a Dem or Independent than a Repub.

A caller on Beck's show this a.m. speculated that knowing what we now know about how vindictive Christie is...perhaps he blew the election for Romney with the whole Obama love fest in the aftermath of Sandy becuase Romney passed him over for a VP pick.

Interesting strategy.

I voted for this guy his first election because my perception of him at the time was a) he was not a crooked machine politician (a rarity in NJ); and b) he spoke as if he would be a true reformer of government largesse.

Turns out he is just another "conservative" who pays lip service to fiscal responsibility but will sell out his principals for an easy re-election.  He had his picture taken in the past campaign with some of Hudson County's sleaziest politicians just so they would "deliver the vote". 

If you are thinking of voting for him in a presidential election don't bother unless you want to be disappointed.

He went from a leader to a politician. Surprised it took him this long.

The Just-Us department head, Eric Holder, will make sure Hillary wins when she runs.

Eric Hoilder will make sure Christie steps down.

This only means our masters have chosen someone else to run for the Republican party in the next presidential campaign.
