. New York Times Bombshell Not A Bombshell. A media firestorm was set off by sloppy reporting from the New York Times and their suggestion that there was actually "evidence" when it was a letter alleging that "evidence exists." Forced to change the lead almost immediately, the Times was roundly criticized, and its editor was forced to issue this extraordinary statement to the Huffington Post:


"We've made probably dozens of changes to the story to make it more precise. That was one of them. I bet there will be dozens more."



2. As he has said repeatedly, Governor Christie had no involvement, knowledge or understanding of the real motives behind David Wildstein's scheme to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge.


GOVERNOR CHRISTIE: “So what I can tell you is if people find that hard to believe, I don't know what else to say except to tell them that I had no knowledge of this -- of the planning, the execution or anything about it -- and that I first found out about it after it was over. And even then, what I was told was that it was a traffic study. And there was no evidence to the contrary until yesterday that was brought to my attention or anybody else's attention.” (Press Conference, 1/9/14)

1. I hate shit like this. When there is not enough information. I hate it. But I will

keep with holding Christie responsible because he created the "revenge climate" in his office at the very least.

[Oilwellian]

2. When Christie has to go all of the way back to high school days

to attack Wildstein, that's a sign of severe desperation. Pitiful.

On edit: this part was also interesting:

Robert Leopold, Livingston’s former Democratic Mayor: Wildstein Was “A Political Animal” Who “Frightened People.” (Shawn Boburg, “Ex-Blogger Is Governor Christie's Eyes, Ears Inside The Port Authority,” Bergen Record, 3/3/12)

Sounds like a perfect candidate for Christie's administration. LOL
