"Christie has long cultivated an image as a brash, tough-talking leader willing to buck his party for the good of his constituents. On Thursday, however, he took a more humble tone, saying: "I am not a bully."

Kudos for doggedly getting to the bottom of this outrage Reuters, yahoo news, Men Seeking Men Media, etc.

I have this nagging thought that the demoRats set him up. How could they get 1000 pages of documentation ready so fast?

I haven't read all the details of the story yet, but from what I gather the closings went on for days. If Christy was perfectly innocent and unaware of what his aides were up to, shouldn't he have done something after the first day of the closings, being the strong leader that he is? He could have even turned it into a show of leadership that would have gained him praise among the citizens of the area if he had ordered the lanes to be reopened. But he didn't.
All sounds pretty damning to me.

Biggest scandal of my lifetime.
The outrage will never be forgotten. When the story of the 21st century is written, this will be prominently featured.

Meanwhile, the Gates book showing how Obama put 30,000 of our troops to war for political reasons goes un-discussed.
I’d guess based on location and weather, that bridge and travel gets closed more due to weather then stupid politicians.
Does Cuomo get diggs for closing the freeways last week?
Boob-bait for the butkis.

Well, this is a good opportunity to see if Christie has what it takes to be President. ‘Cause this is nothing compared to what a Republican President will have to put up with over and over. Think Katrina....

Of course Gov. Bluto knew about the lane closures. Who would know more about clogged arteries than Christie?

I understand why liberals want to milk this lame story as long as possible. They plan to use it to hammer all GOP, conservative or Tea Party people. The screw-the-working-taxpayer party wants to permanently shift the narrative and make the GOP the bigger enemy of those who go to work everyday. This fits that plan perfectly.
I don't understand why so many conservatives are giddly helping them. I think in echo chambers like this, they fixate on the intra-party conservatives vs. moderates, tea party vs. GOP-e battle. That's a real battle, which we just won regarding Christie, but most morons out there don't even see any such distinction. We are one big happy party to them. Christie is Palin is McCain is Cruz.
Christie's political future is over. That's a win for conservatives, but its time to start using this scandal to highlight the absurd amount of coverage this story got compared to any Obama scandal. The way the media demanded answers here when they have no interest in answers from Democrats.
And the way Christie fired those he saw as responsible, turned over all the documents, apologized to the citizens for the people he put in positions of power that hurt their interests, stood in front of a hostile press and answered questions for over an hour, etc.
Christie's done. We need to start worrying about the fall out for future elections and stop helping the leftists make this story bigger than the moon landing.

"I am not a crook" - Richard M. Nixon And in reference to the Presidency he was no more a crook than Kennedy, LBJ or any other politician and probably less so than any demonrat!

You are calling this nixonian? What a laugh.
Now what Obama did with the IRS...that’s Nixonian. Wish more grassroots conservative would be pushing coverage of that story instead of this one.
