Sgt. Schultz time. "I know nothing!!!" Hey, it always works for The One. The media always rush to his side and say he can't possibly know what all his subordinates are doing 24 hours a day.

[toldyou]

Who got fired over that?

[sickoflibs]

The long knives are out for fat boy.

He must be a threat.

LOLO

[West Texas Chuck]

Repubs are Doomed. I will send them not a $$ if they think the fatboy is gonna have a whiff of the WH.

We are done. America is done. I am sorry to see her go.

200 years from now, perhaps, a group of men will get together and re-kindle the fires of a new American Revolution. Until then this nation is doomed to outright corruption, the politics of revenge, and the rule of demogogues....

[Revolting cat!]

Stick a fork in the fat turkey, he’s toast!

I don’t think it matters that Christie “didn’t know”.

He is responsible for the actions of his staff. He is also responsible for placing clear limits on political actions lacking his approval.

Unless Christie can show that someone on his staff went completely rogue & that person publicly admits it, Christie is responsible for this reprehensible behavior.

[ThunderSleeps]

Of course he claims he didn't know anything was going on. I could have told you that would be his story from the moment he announced the press conference.

Really, what's he going to do? Stand up and say "Yeah, I'm that petty, yeah I'm that vindictive. etc. etc." ??? That would be political suicide. Of course the alternative is only slightly better. If we are to believe him then he has made gross errors in judgement in putting people who are that petty and vindictive in positions of power.

Either way Christie, if you act like an a-hole you're going to be regarded as one. I do believe his political career is finished. This is probably the best job he's ever going to have, he's going to go no further.

[TBP]

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps Sergeant Schultz is Krispy Kreme’s new nickname.

[TBP]

That he would hire people who would do this speaks poorly of his judgment and his character.

[TBP]

Chris Christie is a fake, phony fraud.

[dowcaet]

This is so predictable. Our American media is so transparent and obviously in the back pocket of the Democratic Party. The media was just waiting to trip up Governor Doughboy to keep a clear path to the White House for Saint Hillary. Never mind this scandal is peanuts compared to Benghazi, the NSA, etc., but the DNC media machine got their red meat and predictably they’re running with it.

[Uncle Chip]

Clearly it was a Bridge Too Far.

[dfwgator]

Bullhockey!

[gitmo]

Did he blame on a video shaming Mohammed?

[GLDNGUN]

I am not buying his croc tears for a second, and can't believe so many in the media are.

Would his aides have done something so drastic without his knowledge and approval? At the very least, they must have thought that it was the sort of thing that Chrispy Crème would want done but perhaps be kept out of the loop for "plausible deniability".

On the other hand, let's give Christie the full benefit of the doubt for a moment, and say he had no foreknowledge or involvement in the bridge lane closures. Would he not have been outraged as a governor to see what was going on? Would not this be just the type of an issue that a "no nonsense" governor would get to the bottom of? Isn't that what a "champion of the people" would do? Instead, evidently, Christie had no concern or interest when this was happening. So even if he had no knowledge or involvement, he showed a complete lack of concern for the citizens on New Jersey. He was AWOL. Period.

Then the investigations began. Even if was initially asleep at the wheel, wouldn't he "get to the bottom" of it? Since when is tough guy Christie afraid to rock the boat a little? Despite all of the investigations going on, he doesn't get the truth out of his aides?

So if you believe that Christie had no knowledge about what his aides did, then you have to believe that he is an extremely poor judge of character, and unwittingly hired thugs to run to campaign/administration. You have to believe that he watched the massive bridge problem and no interest or desire in finding out what was going on and fix it. He's the GOVERNOR for crying out loud! You have to believe that when the investigations started, he either still didn't care anything about the issue or if he did was unable to get the truth out of his top aides.

So, if you are Chris Christie and you found out that your top aides caused the problems ON PURPOSE, wouldn't you be outraged? Where's THAT guy now? Wouldn't you be looking to punish these people to the full extent of the law? Wouldn't you be furious that these aides betrayed you? Not if you are Chris Christie. No, you are "sad". Pathetic.

No, I'm not buying his schtick for a second. If he were truly caught off guard by all of this, and if he really didn't approve of what his aides did, we'd see the "in your face" Chris Christie. The "I'm mad as hell about what happened and those who betrayed the public trust will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law".

What a blowhard this guy has been all along.

Which one looks like Christie?

[VRWC For Truth]

Good riddance to fat boi DemocRAT.

[a fool in paradise]

That settles it. I'm never eating at Christie's again.
