RT @jonward11: Christie issuing a statement shortly

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. resign?

[geek tragedy]

2. wherein he pretends to take responsibility and fakes outrage nt

[11 Bravo]

9. Exactly! After excoriating a variety of subordinates, he'll utter some bullshit like, "But I'm ...

the Governor, and the ultimate responsibility is mine."

[geek tragedy]

12. Just like John Edwards 'took responsibility' for his pimping of the Iraq war

by pretending it never happened.

Scumbags.

[freshwest]

30. The outrage isn't fake. He's a walking outrage and a disgrace to the entire nation. Period. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Ok this calls for coffee and popcorn

[LongTomH]

27. How 'bout beer and popcorn?

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Alas allergic to wheat

You really do not want me to get even a small swig. Trust me.

[Autumn]

4. As a republican he has a special dispensation and this will be under

the rug in a week.

[get the red out]

10. That's my thought

Tends to go that way.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Prediction: The lying will continue.

[catbyte]

14. My guess below was pretty close.

Not that this was a difficult one to guess about.

[Laxman]

19. The Problem Is That...

this behavior is absolutely representative of his administration. This is par for the course for him and his lackeys. This is one of the most disciplined administrations in history! Christie's people don't breathe without clearing it with his inner circle. It is totally out of character for something like this to have originated with a staffer. Everything else was under control, but this, THIS, was a rogue action. Right. Punishing many people to settle a political score with one person is his M.O..

32. When do we get to "I am not a crook"?

[herding cats]

13. Guess they have their spin angle all worked out.

Let's see.

If all this turns out to be true, he's heartbroken by the betrayal by his closest aide Bridget Kelly and his top executive at the Port Authority David Wildstein, whose been his dear friend since childhood. He knew nothing about this and never lied to the public, yadayadayada.

[Kingofalldems]

17. How much money will the aides be getting?

[herding cats]

22. That's still in negotiations and tied to how long of a jail sentence they face.

Bridget Kelly hasn't been subpoenaed yet and David Wildstein is trying to get out of having to show up for his tomorrow. They still have some time to workout all those silly little winkles their beloved Christi.

[riversedge]

18. well he tweeted that he was 'outraged' --

[herding cats]

26. I know, I totally blew it on the feigned outrage!

We must not forget that he is deeply saddened as well. It's pivotal to his trying to pull off how two of the people closest to him kept him out of the loop on this.

[riversedge]

31. He will play the humble role for a while now like he did

with Pres Obama and Fema and Sandy.

[riversedge]

16. Breaking on cable just now. ha hs The tweet is faster

[KansDem]

20. "If anyone was inconvenienced by the lane closures, I apologize."

[Frustratedlady]

21. Took him most of the day to come up with an answer to this scandal?

I don't believe a word of his statement. If I had an opportunity to work for Christie, I would run as fast as possible in the opposite direction.

I wonder how much it cost to buy the scapegoat(s) confession(s)?

29. Maybe we could coax Christie out for a statement by dangling a teacher?
