Instead of the image of the bull in the china shop, I think of the old nursury rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. In this case, Humpty Dumpty is Christie when he takes he GOP off the wall and breaks in pieces after his contentious climb to the top. That will be a tragic outcome at a time when we need unity behind a statesman like a Ronald Reagan in the Presidency.
“scandal-plagued Republican”. LOL!
No bias there, nope....
McCain, Romney, and now Christie - all ignorant of Aesop’s Fables.
The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion
says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature...”
Hey Chrisytie, where is your buddy boy Barry at now?
His hug of Barry will probably go down as one, if not the biggest political gaff in in my lifetime.
Seems that the dogs have been loosed.
this is different from the bridge closing how? both going after a political opponent.
@frates
If you’d like to tweet the author as to the definition of “scandal-plagued”.
This gun grabbing turd can’t sink fast enough for me.
The media/RAT strategy is to destroy any potentially electable Repubs before they even get to the primaries.
What the hell is going on in Joisey??
The sharks are circling...
The same press that hohums about Obama staff foibles is attacking Christie with a vengeance.
I’m not a Christie fan, but I think the guy is being piled on.
If it wasn't serious business, It would be funny. But to me the surprising thing is the timing. Way too early.
Unless, there is something else bubbling up just below the surface.
HE IS BEING PUNISHED. "Bad Chris! You should have stood up for gun bans!" sez the media and the Feds.
“Obama hug” - Bringing your opponent/rival in closer, to make it easier to slip the knife in his back.
Get out the butter, Christie is toast.
I don't know how "exclusive" this can be, b/c I read about the the ad-agency thing (didn't go to the lowest bidder, and featured Christie prominently -- sound familiar?) at least 6 months ago. Typical CNN?
(Based on the traffic and lack of beach parking spaces this past summer, the ads -- promoting NJ tourism -- were pretty successful.)
The fact that they are pulling out all the stops against Christie means they must be awfully worried about Hillary. (I didn't think he was a threat to Hillary, but the fact that they think he is a threat speaks volumes.)
I have no doubt this is happening and I have no doubt the existence of this investigation was “leaked” to CNN to help their sagging ratings. After all they are the NPR of television.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama lets Michelle stay an extra week in Hawaii at taxpayer expense as a “birthday present”, and the media doesn’t have a problem with it.
