He has a big rear end to cover and a big goof to cover up...
He’s done. Good riddance.
Christie is finished. Clinton and Obama have set a very low standard but people still expect Republicans to act as adults.
He’s finished.
Oh. Right. Jeb Bush.
...it got Gate’s book off the headlines
The next time that a person wants to seek revenge on their political opponents, it’d be best to avoid doing it via e-mail.
Christie’s aide, whether he was doing this with Christie’s knowledge/consent or not, should have either made a phone call or personally stopped by the NJ Dept of Transportation to have arranged this.
Ditto....All I had to hear about was the half staff event for a friggin’ druggie...
OH no, the libs are bringing down the GOPs biggest possible candidate.
Actually like Obama, Christies lucky this didn’t come out till after his re election
This will blow over by 2015/2016.
I am no Christie fan by any stretch of the imagination but isn’t the timing suspect? Bury the Robert Gates story?
And Obamacare...
” the GOPs biggest possible candidate.”
No pun intended I suppose.
If Christie is the best the GOP can come up with, they’re done.
All this rage at Christie, yet Obama and the IRS? Oh, pass.
Unbelievable.
Christie should stick to more conventional means when it comes to harassing political opponents, like sicking the IRS on them.
...watch for more scandals, one after the other
AKA I’m coming on television to lie and talk about how you all are,”misunderstanding” and, “taking it out of context.” Thereby, of course, making it our fault.
my my my... and now the MSM perks up and starts doing it’s job.. where they been for the past 5 years?
look for them to break all kinds of stories like this, for all candidates on the right, meanwhile continuing to ignore Benghazi, IRS scandal, Fast and Furious, etc.
Hillary will be hoisted on her but to the clouds, as woman/god......
Couldn’t happen to a bigger guy.
