Rachel Maddow: “The Governor has absolutely and blatantly not told the truth"

[UCmeNdc]

The opening segment of Tuesday night's The Rachel Maddow Show is an outstanding example of why Christie’s Bridge-Gate Scandal Boosts Rachel Maddow To Ratings Victory Over Fox News. I wonder what cable news channel Christ Christie watched tonight? Was he curious enough to sit through what Rachel Maddow had to say about him and his disproved denials?

Needless to say, it was must see t.v. and something wonderful to behold. With the skills of Sherlock Holmes, she identified every discrepancy in Christie's assertions and tore apart every inkling of credibility that he might have hoped to retain. She flat out said that statements he has made are provably not true. She might as well have just used the word liar. And then she went on to prove it.

6. Yep!

she's the best. however can i give a shout out for lawrence O'Donnell who has done a stellar and titillating job digging into chrispy's BS. tonights rewrite showing an attack ad he wrote from crispys own recent video clips and associating it with the idaho governor was hilarious......

11. Er, their side doesn't need an investigative reporter

since they just make up everything they say.

2. I worry for her safety

She is poking some really nasty thuggish beasts. They could peg her as inconsequential before, but now she is impacting their favorite base - Pox Noise.

3. I'll tell why I like Maddow staying on this story.

Because they do have a strategy that if they ignore the situation long enough, maybe it will go away.

4. Her first segment tonight goes after Samson, head of the PA.

Don't miss it.

5. And, the republicons in NJ do not give a shit. In fact their approval rating of CChristie..

has got UP!

Christie’s 2016 Ambitions Disappearing as Poll Numbers Tumble In Wake of Latest Scandals

"New Jersey Republicans are sticking by the governor, as he actually saw an increase from them. Last month 85% approved of his job performance. The latest poll saw it increase to 89%. However, independents and Democrats started rejecting Christie. The governor saw support among independents fall by 11% and Democrats dropped by 9%.

Where you see a big change is how favorable a view New Jerseyians have of Chris Christie in light of these events. After Superstorm Sandy, Christie saw his favorability rating go up to 70%. In the latest poll, that has tumbled all the way down to 44%. Only 24% of Democrats have a favorable view of him and 44% of independents. It appears that Christie is losing that so-called bipartisan support he enjoyed in the state for the past couple of years."

7. My in-laws in Jersey told me that Ms. Kelly is now known as Bridge Kelly.

Unfortunate given name for her was Bridget.

8. I hear Rachel loud and clear, but it's not sinking in with Jersey voters. They still seem to believe

Christie.
