Does the Christie story have legs? Three months from now will

people still be talking about Chrisite-gate?

I say YES! The Morning Sumbags are blubbering and slobbering giveing the gov a pass, by blaming Christies staff.

Said it before, have no problem saying it today....Mika is a media whore.

You expect it from Joe, a sleazy repuke. But Mika poses to pass herself off as a Democrat. As far as I am concerned, they are both equally in the tank for Christie...

it after hearing Mika, claim she is a personal friend of Christie and that he redeemed himself in her opinion, but maybe her close relationship with him was clouding her judgment.

There's a reason I don't usually watch this crap.

remarks this morning about Christie and the wonderful job he did at the podium...she affectively took his side against the citizens who have had to endure his bully-ship these past years.

11. I get it that she sympathizes with him as someone who has had weight and eating

disorder issues. But this isn't about his weight at all.

I also think she was flattered that he called her on the way to Fort Lee yesterday. I am pretty certain that Christie was taking advantage of her sympathy for him and using it strategically, since he knew she would probably bring it up on the show...that thought makes me a little sick...

I think that Rachael Madow hit on the real reason for the traffic jam. He didn,t come out with the press conference until after the e-mails, saying that he believed that there was a traffic study. It should have raised a question about that after supervisors in the Port Authority said that there was no traffic study, and the two people who were telling him there was resigned. But he still beleived that there was a traffic study.

... while you're feeding on the latest swill from the idiot box...

Your wholly owned corporate Congress is "fast-tracking" the destruction of what's left of our economy with the TPP.

But WTF, let's outrage over "fat jokes" and cartoonish politicians getting caught being assholes about trivial crap.

Who needs jobs, right?

FUCK.

If the released documents from the State Senate Panel show that Christie knew, or ordered the lane closure, then today it should be, must be identified. Not vague innuendo, they need hard fast proof. Because if it isn't released today, the Sunday news talk shows will be how Christie really didn't know, and that will be the story next week when it dies down.

If the allegations continue without proof, any proof, then the ones tossing the allegations around will be the ones vilified in the press.

Today with the release of 900 plus documents is the day. Christie either survives today, or falls today.

This can't drag on for weeks, or months, or years. That won't help Democrats in any way. Because in time, the average person is going to shift from doubting him, to being angry at partisan political mudslinging without any proof.
