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

This was percolating for some time. When one person knows something, its a secret, when two people know it, the whole world does.

Its INCONCEIVABLE that such a micro-manager as Christie could POSSIBLY not know about it. FURTHER, it was a DUMB STUNT!!!
What the hell did it accomplish??? If he wanted to get at the mayor of Ft. Lee or Loretta Weinberg PERSONALLY - more power to him. But screwing with THOUSANDS of innocent people is inexcusable.

Will never forgive this guy for his mugging with Obama after the hurricane, accusing Newt Gingrich of being a “crook” (CHRISTIE’s words) when he thought he would be VP under Romney, attacking a civil servant for burning a Koran ON HIS OWN TIME in protest at the Ground Zero Mosque project AFTER HE RESPONDED that issue was a “local one” when questioned on this. Just recently he signed a bill to allow illegals to use state colleges in New Jersey.

Hard to fell sorry for this guy.

His cronies did that. At least one of them was even a friend since childhood.

If Christie did not know, he is incompetent and allowed his staff to run wild.

If he did know, then he is culpable.

Neither puts him a good light. Yes, he was quick to apologize -- months after the actual traffic slowdown. But his presser was about him and how sad he was and how angry he was that his cronies betrayed him. WHAT ABOUT THE CITIZENS WHO WERE INCONVENIENCED BY THIS PETTY AND VINDICTIVE ACTION? Two already submitted their resignations. A third got fired.

That presser question 'are you a bully?' will haunt any future electoral aspirations he may have.

It may not have been Democrats who set him up.

Bridget Kelly, the senior Christie staff member who was fired last week, had a long career in politics that included previous stints with Rudy Giuliani and John McCain.
