"Heartbroken" Christie "Surprised At Stupidity"; Apologizes; Fires Bunch Of Staff; "Crazy" To Think He'd Resign
Governor Christie says he is "doing a lot of soul-searching," over the "callous indifference" displayed by his former campaign manager Bill Stepien (since asked to leave) and Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly (since fired). He was "disturbed by the tone and behavior and attitude" of the emails he saw (following his workout). The "heartbroken", "not a bully", Governor accepted responsibility for his staff's actions and is embarrased and humiliated... but "it's crazy man" to think he would resign...
Via The Hill... the problem...
...emails obtained by The Hill and other publications on Wednesday raised significant questions about that explanation. They showed a top Christie aide, deputy chief of staff Bridget Ann Kelly, appearing to collude with David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority, to create traffic in the town.
“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” Kelly emailed to Wildstein after the mayor failed to back Christie.
“Got it,” Wildstein emailed back.

Hey Boss! It's a "traffic study!" *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
A traffic study - with 'no traffic'...
.
makes sense to me.
She probablt told him about it when they were in bed together
Christie Kreme doesnt stand a chance against Jeb. Mr Kreme's role is to simply distract from Hillary while Jeb stays quiet, gets everything in line and bides his time.
Christie is a fat scumbag crony.
Christie is just as pathologic as Obama.
Melt the fat bastard down and make some designer soap out of his ass.
pods
Rancid lard.
Big Chris may not resign. But I will.
I hereby announce myself resigned to the fact that Big Chris is just another Statist Goon, for whom I would never cast a vote for elective office.
'...closing lanes on the George Washington bridge..'
Reminds me of the classic Ted Kennedy joke; Year is 1969. Ted and Mary Jo Kopechne are at a party on Chappaquiddick Island, is late in the evening and Mary Jo is overhearing folks talking about her apparent affair with Ted. They are in the car leaving the party and MJ voices her concerns to Ted. He turns to her and says; "Don't worry about it - we'll cross that bridge when we come to it".
At least some heads rolled...,
Obama promoted the bitch from that IRS scandal.
He should also fire his personal trainer.
You vote?
<chuckle>
Stop it.
I am Chumbawamba.
Voting for any democrat or republican is just anther vote for the corporate takeover of society. Fuck every one of them.
He could provide enough heating oil to keep the entire Eastern seaboard warm for several weeks.
We'll do it in the name of economic stability.
it's funny the news just keeps a camera rolling on this fatasses helicopter as it travels through the sky and then switches to where he is going to land. This whole fraud of a thing today was just done for this photo op of him looking presidential getting out of his helicopter to meet some dude face to face. the guy will prob hug him and this will seal his repub bid.
How very wag the dog-esque
Yo betta get yo fat asses out there and vote Christie 2016 or you'll be stuck in traffic like a mofo bitchez.
For the children
And new lampshades for everyone!!
Really. A 100-minute presser? Over fucking bridge traffic?
That's right up there with Fidel and the Late Hugo Chavez.
I've enjoyed some of your recent posts "Fukushima Sam." On this one I agree again. When Christe first burst on the national scene via some youtubes of his speeches, I felt mildly enthusiastic. Maybe this guy was for real. Then I found out more, especially his close corporate connections, he then looked like just another bought and paid for politician to serve crony capitalism and corporate power. Now I see also he is a fucking fool on top of it. He is making his state look like a corrupt old Soviet Republic. America is going to the dogs, that Christe is one of our best politicians shows just how fucking low we have sunk.
Well said Jack, I feel/felt the same way.
Me too, the sad thing is twenty years ago I'd be shocked and outraged, now I chalk it up as standard behavior. Good politician is an oxymoron ( with the likely exception for RP). Until they are all eliminated by prison or hanging we are doomed. Hitlery on deck will complete the reaping.
Miffed;-)
I've always seen him as a loud mouthed fat fuck. Then again I see all politicians as loud mouthed [insert physical judgement here] fucks.
"A politician is an arse upon which everthing has sat except a man." ee cummings
That's typical Jersey you'rte talkig about.....Even more rude then New Y^orkers
"...close corporate connections..."
They've let him know he's in if he can get there. Resign? Then it is over.
The sad thing is that even with all the problems and scandals, he's still the best governor NJ has had in a very long time.
True, but we're talking about a state so foolish that it elected Jon Corzine as both Governor AND Senator. The people of NJ believed for 10 years that Mr. Anal Rehypothecation represented them.
And I suspect that, for the most part, they were exactly right.
As a resident of NJ who votes in every election, I am no longer amazed at the fact that the people I vote for never get elected. The masses just don't get it, either because of stupidity, greed or laziness.
That is a low, low, low bar.
Clearing another chess piece off the board for Hillary in '16. Can't wait for 8 more years of Clinton grifting. /s
only corrupt sold out sociopaths have any chance to make it to the white house. The U.S. government is nothing more than a sham to keep the sheeple believing that citizenss have any control over the government that controls them.
If anyone called "Clinton" or "Bush" gets in, can you please start admitting that you really live in a time-share monarchy? Give 'em a tungsten crown.
Clinton won't fly being on a ballot in an actually contested election, and TPTB are well aware of this. Her personal negatives are so high that she is an unacceptable risk to them. She won't be the Democratic nominee any more than she was going to win in 2008. She has not aged well at all, either.
She is actually a perfect foil for Jeb Bush. The TPTB win either way.
But our opinions do not count.
"If they vote for a gay kenyan, they will vote for anything at all."
@ icanhasbailout - and you're still believing that we, the lowly voters, actually elect the Prez??
Now that's funny!
(keyword search: Bilderberg)
You are 100% correct. Corporate connections out the wazoo.
No more Clintons
No more Bush
Give that phony Kenyan a hard and mighty Push!
The only Hope throughout the Land
Is to call for Rand The Man.
Jeb isn't going to be the next president. Fuhrer Rand Paul will be the next president of these Totalitarian States. Christie's fat ass is just being moved out of the way.
The best way to conduct a traffic study is to block the traffic and see what happens.
If Christie had walked down that bridge, he would've blocked traffic all by himself?
What about the NYPD who claimed disability and severe PTSD from 9/11 to scam up to $400,000,000 from SS?
If anyone still believes the official 9/11 coverup story, here's the last proof you need to be convinced otherwise.
The cops knew what went down which is why they had no problem going after the money. End of story. Cops always know best.
Disability fraud is a popular sport with or without a 9/11.
You don't think the cops would have had moral restraint to use 9/11 as an excuse? Mind blowing how long it went on, how many knew and nobody felt the need to report anything sooner. Either the cops are dirty as you know what or they just couldn't pass up the opportunity on the fraud that was 9/11. But hey, everyone make up their own mind.
Cops? Moral restraint?
Cops?
Moral?
Now we kow where the $ for 9/11 survivor families went.
I'm more concerned with the ~2T that old Donnie told us about on the 10th.
pods
OMG! They scammed $400 million? That's horrible! That's outrageous! That's... about 1/200th what is spent on QE "infinity" each and every MONTH. Compare, contrast, discuss.
We [corporate USSA] have a printing press that prints Federal Reserve bank notes and we will print our way to prosperity.
/sarc
SPOT.FUCKING.ON. Elliot.
Everything else pales in comparison.
Governor Christie is a liar. He knew everything what was going on, and as a former AG, he knew how to distance himself so he could not be implicated.
True, but played it beautifully, tho- he showed himself to be a liar that "cares deeply", which will go a long way in the Presidential race, when he opposes the usual doesn't-care-deeply liar-
It's what the people want- we know they all lie, we just want someone that cares that his lies sound sincere- Obama doesn't even bother to try anymore.....
He definitely lied in the press conference. Said that he first found out at 8:50am on Wednesday but didn't sleep for two nights. That would be Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Also said he knew for 36 hours which ties to the two nights of no sleep but the 8:50am on Wednesday time frame is a lie.
Just wait till he announces fellow fatass Rob Ford as his running mate in 2016
That was not a lie. It was a mis-speak.
A lie is when a small fry mis-speaks to a federal agent.
"... he showed himself to be a liar that 'cares deeply'... "
Like learning at Klinton's knee.
Too soon to judge. But if it did come from the top, he is toast.
btw, does anyone else see the media hypocracy between this event and Bengahzi or the IRS scandal? They are all over Christie like flies on shit.
If it were Obama, the media would be discussing the essemtial importance of traffic studies and why it is our patriotic duty to accept traffic delays.
The whole dog and pony show dripped with hypocrisy...
"Like learning at Klinton's knee."
My thoughts exactly. "I feel your pain", LOL.
This shitstain is the Republican version of Slick Willie.
Good observation jcaz. For all their bitching, most folks are sheep who like their master to talk nice to them while kicking their ass.
Bridge..t Ann Kelly. All in a name!
Hey, don't make fun of the poor woman. She sucked some FAT Christie dick to get where she was, and now she's been kicked to the curb like a two-bit whore.
Say goodbye to that presidential bid.
The problem is no politician is squeeky clean. You'll just have to determine which politician is the least crooked and give him the presidential bid in 2016.
Are you just another statist that erroneously believes in political solutions? LMAO.
A vote for the lesser of two evils is STILL A VOTE FOR EVIL. If you vote for EVIL then you shall reap EVIL. Then you shall deserve EVIL.
Why bellyache when you, yes YOU, are getting exactly what YOU DESERVE? Statist hypocrisy!!!
GO RAND GO!!!!
It doesn't fucking matter who the President is, when that person is President of a huge Pile of Shit.
Until we deflate the size of Federal government by 99%, it's fucking hopeless.
Christie! Please make a plea deal. You will resign for your staff's errors if Obama will resign for his staff's errors?
But, again, this guy knew about this days ago. Should have fired those involved immediately. Just a normal politician though.....covering for his 'friends' until it requires too much political capital. What a joke. They are ALL politicians.
Most politicians have the sense to jettison their " friends" when it is apparent they will jeopardize their political career. Remember, there is no honor among thieves. This is possibly a case of the stupids or someone who carefully planned a good backstabbing.
Miffed;-)
"Soul-searching"? Good luck with dat.
This story has received more attention in one day then Fast & Furious, Bengazi and the IRS scandals have conbined in the past year. No, I don't care for the RINO.
Bridget Kelly tell-all book about doughnut blowjobs due any year before 2016.
Forget the doughnut, Better use a half bagel...thin sliced.
The question I have is, if he did not know about this, what else does he not know about ?
He does not know if he is running for President.
Evidently the dangers of being a fat slob.
Within 5 years his ass is going to be doing Ned Beatty impressions in a prison cell.
pods
Wow, takes " squeal like a pig "to new abhorrent levels.
Miffed;-)
The last time he's seen that tool his shed is covering.
Interesting how he said he hasnt slept for 2 days, yet only found out about this yesterday at 8:55 am.....???
Just another lying scumbag! Not hard to understand!
Actually by last report there are as many as 4 lying scumbags in him trying to get out of that giant sized oaf.
Must've had some sort of "gut feeling" the night before.
That must have been an OVERWHELMING feeling!
A Christie "gut feeling" could probably pass as an earthquake.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aczPDGC3f8U
gut feeling could be taken care of w/ a 12 pack of donuts.
Seriously. He could at least fake-cry for us or something.
"hasn't slept in 2 days..."
What, is his CPAP machine broke down? Fucking bubble ass needs to Mama Cass right down the line!
Hasn't slept for days because he was stuck in goddamn traffic.
"oh god no"! Resign??? Where, in the real world would pychopaths like him get a real job? Food taster somewhere I guess.
Something tells me he's already had that job. Just can't put my finger on why though.
what a maroon
Moron. fixed it for you
Marine. He's a whale.
What an embezzle.
Fat bloated candy-ass!
Contrast this with Obama's IRS (etc!) scandal...
He should have pulled an Obama and when the presstitutes start yapping nail them with Obama's actions and tell them to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up!
But no, this clown goes the pussy route. The perfect GOPer. Make a big fat sacrificial offering for Hillary to roast in 2016!

Man what a Whale of a story!!
Chris Christie makes Mayor Rob Ford look like a Saint.
Difference being Rob Ford is comedic gold. The guy is so outrageous that it's highly amusing.
Christie is a corrupt fat man that takes himself too seriously. No crack pipes, no homies, no smashing into cameras and people. Not funny.

"You just called him a fat fuck!"
LOooL. Gold. Thanks for that I hadn't seen some of those. Fat fuck was great.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. He gets everything this bag of blubber deserves. Maybe his heart will explode with a donut grease mushroom cloud?
CHRISTIE SAYS HE NEVER FUCKED BRIDGET, NEVER EVEN TRIED.
That's because he couldn't locate his cock.
Obama found it! It was in his mouth.
EDIT: Oh wait, it was the other way around. Carry on!
Yeah, the poor bastard has quite an impressive gock, he's been growing it since '82.
I guess that's the male version of a gunt? Hahaha
I'm confused. Bridget or Elsie the Cow?

Looks like we've got some sock puppets in the thread. Say hello to Cass the Subversive Ass Sunstein for me.
I prefer Cass Shitstain. Please feel free to carry his new name back to him.
Works for me.
Could be a move to bring in Jeb Bush.
" staged elections." You got that right!
action is taken; confidence is restored.
As in the "confidence" in confidence game?
Whatever happened to the blond who was giving Corzine a blowjob when they crashed without seatbelts when going to see Imys and the nappy headed Hos at Rutgers.
As much as I hate government. I will miss the entertainment of idiot politicians, when it finally is buried once and for all.
If only there were some kind of Investigative Bureau of some sort empowered to police these sorts of things, perhaps at the Federal level... Hm, well no fireworks or low grade explosives involved, and everyone seems to be of sound mental health so nothing to see here, move along.
What an ass this Christie guy is. Hey Christie, STOP EATING and after that STOP LYING. You are not going to be President because the more you talk the dumber you sound.
Christie is just another douchebag who should be selling used cars. Much ado about nothing.
Little known is the story of Geppetto's first creation. It was not Pinochio. That was soon after but the mistake with the first one was just too big to ignore.
His name was Bellypochio, and if he lied he got fat as the fattest fuck you ever did see.
His only wish was that one day he could be a real douche.
I guess dreams do come true.
Only a crazy question for a crook.
It must be great to take full responsibility and none of the consequences.
Not a fan of Christie, but how is this significantly different from barricading national monuments and closing private businesses on public property during the partial federal shutdown? Anyone? Bueller?
What shutdown? Did the government spend less money during the "shutdown"?
We had to shutdown due to weather for a week once. No one got paid (unlike the paid vacation the .gov workers just got) for that week, nothing was ordered, no diesel fuel was burnt, etc. etc.
Keep beating that red/blue drum moron.
This one is a Republican (in name only I know, but you get the drift).
I see what you are saying here and I do not disagree but isn't this charade a high school level redux? I should not have watched that press conference but CNN was the only channel without Capital One Samuel L Jackass commercials rolling ad nauseum. Hell, those CNN assholes are still going on about this "scandal" because the entire nation and world only thinks about traffic in New Jersey. New Jersey traffic is far and away the number one concern on our list of shit we all care so deeply about. That and 15 dozen donuts as well three old 96ers a day.
you still watch TV?
I have one hooked up in a furnished apartment. I never use it. Satellite but I don't care. Nothing is worth watching.
Easy: the shutdowns were ordered by He-who-must-not-be-blamed.
And the MSM will not cover the sordid life of Bath House Barry, but Fatso is Fair Game. After he sucked off Bath House after the hurricane and helped elect him, he was of no further use, so under the bus he goes.
