If I were a political cartoonist, I could have a field day with this. Image of him in overalls "working traffic cones" would be a start.

Much ado about nothing. He will get out of this unscathed.

Sounds like something that Francis G. Underwood would mastermind.

I tend to agree. Unless people can prove he said to do it...which is not going to happen.

Yeah, he's not that stupid. He knows his name is on the 2016 ballot for the GOP. Why would he risk that just to "punish" some mayor that didn't back him in his bid for re-election, especially one he couldn't have lost, barring no pictures of him f*cking a goat surface. He fired the DCOS that sent the email and it will be curious to hear her side of the story, if it ever surfaces.

Christie "I don't know nothin'...Not his fault

...

I almost believe him..

Quote:

["I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or its execution," he said of the emerging political crisis during a press conference that stretched nearly two hours. "I am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here."

One could have said the same thing about Nixon and the Watergate break-in. He was in no danger of not being reelected.

His problem is, if Christine really didn't know anything about it then he's an astoundingly incompetent manager, who has no control over his staff.

If he did know, then he's a criminal. Either way, stick a fork in 2016; it's done for him. Not that he had a shot in hell of being the candidate anyway.

I have never believed in this whole line of thinking. I know the political world is different, but you don't hire/appoint people to only micromanage them to death, unless you want to fail miserably.
I fully believe his now ex-DCOS (and a great many of them too) would attempt to pull of a stunt of this nature. Power is a very potent stimulant.

Why would he have no shot in hell of being the candidate?

Hope you're well.
