Bruce Springsteen & Jimmy Fallon: "Gov. Christie Traffic Jam" ("Born To Run" Parody) - YouTube

hope this isn't too short

[speechlesstx]

Fallon does a good Springsteen. You know that has to kill Christie, his hero and new BFF goofing on him like that.

Btw, the latest poll shows fewer NJ voters think he's a bully now. You'd think with all the breathless coverage he might have taken a bigger hit. Shame they couldn't find near as much time to discuss something like Benghazi, and how a bipartisan report points blame at the administration.

A long-delayed Senate Intelligence Committee report released Wednesday faulted both the State Department and the intelligence community for not preventing attacks on two outposts in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador, about 16 months ago.

The bipartisan report laid out more than a dozen findings regarding the assaults on a diplomatic compound and a CIA annex in the city. It said the State Department failed to increase security at its mission despite warnings, and blamed intelligence agencies for not sharing information about the existence of the CIA outpost with the U.S. military.

Where is the lefts enthusiasm to investigate and prosecute IRSgate or Bennghazigate? THis is a political witch hunt. Obamas done worse things this week than cause a little traffic jam. You'd think traffic backups were something new for that area from listening to them whining.

I never get used to them . Then you get to pay $11 every time you cross the bridge . Six axles pay $84 in peak hours,for the privilege of sitting in a traffic jam 4 or 5 hrs because of the lane closure nonsense.
That being said ,I kinda believe him when he denies any previous approval for the stunt . Christie is a hard ball pol ,and if he wanted to do payback there are much more effective ways than screwing the commuters .

or the NSA .....consider this ........ Nixon was impeached for bugging 2 offices.

[paraclete]

some people would believe anything smoothy, we have all seen the instance of the political staffer who just tried to do something nice for the boss, as if the boss had no idea what was going on. A man who cannot control his staff has shown bad judgement in selecting them and poor judgement in allowing them latitude is no fit candidate to run a city let alone a country. plausable deniability doesn't cut it for me

[talaniman]

The document contains only one mention of former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is named by the panel's Republicans as the official who should ultimately be held responsible for the failures at Benghazi. But the broader report also finds no evidence of the kind of political coverup that Republicans have long alleged — providing fodder for both sides as Clinton ponders a possible presidential run in 2016.

More Benghazi to cover up Bridgegate?

[paraclete]

Is Hillary now responsible for traffic jams too? That was the problem wasn't it; there was a gate on the bridge? I'm sure Christie would like Clinton out of the way and via versa. Personally I think they should find another candidate now, I expect Kerry to try again, he has done a passable job as VEPE

[smoothy]

THere is the Fast and furious stonewalling, the Benghazi stomewalling, the IRS harassment stonewalling... the NSA spying stonewalling... Obama is responsible for more stone walling than the Chinese who built the great wall have.

[talaniman]

We had "I am not a crook", "I am not a witch", now we have "I am not a bully.".

[tomder55]

You can deny it all you want to ,but the facts have come out . The emperor KNEW it was a terrorist attack in less than a half hour after the attack began .
Evita lied under oath to the Senate Foreign Relations committee.


My only question is what does the emperor have on speaker Bonehead that he continues to refuse to appoint select committees with subpoena power to investigate all these scandals from the WH

[talaniman]

Bad enough bonehead gets embarrassed by his own, be really bad when the opposition embarrasses him too. Bridgegate is just getting started. His whole office was chuckling about it for months, and the bully knew nothing?? And still doesn't??

He could have asked what's so funny guy's?

[tomder55]

Bridgegate is just getting started.

Maybe but there are much more effective means to get even with a political foe(withholding funding ,permits etc.);and I'm sure Christe plays harball with the best of them. There is no political advantage for tying up traffic for hours at a time . It only pisses off the people.

Like speech said .The people of NJ appear to believe him.

[tomder55]

or if your the emperor you can unleash the IRS on political opponents . Or if your Evita ,you just hide their files in your office in the WH .
Speaking of Evita .....she has an enemies list lol ..... I'm gonna start calling her Evita Milhouse .

[paraclete]

yes I hear Kerry is on Evita's hit list, perhaps he can swift boat this one

[ebaines]

consider this ........ Nixon was impeached for bugging 2 offices.

Gotta set history right here:

1. Nixon was not impeached - he quit before the impeachment vote could occur. Only two presidents have ever been impeached: Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton - both were acquitted.

2. Watergate was not over bugging offices - it was over attempts to cover up a break in at the Democratic HQ offices by operatives who were paid from funds of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP for short).

The lesson from Watergate is that politicians typically get in trouble not for committing criminal offenses themselves but rather for trying to cover up criminal offenses done by others. If it turns out that the activities of Christie's underlings were indeed illegal (which seems highly likely) and if it turns out that Christie knew of those illegal activities prior to the emails coming out last week then he's likely in irreversible trouble, even if he didn't order the actiivties himself or know about them ahead of time.

[tomder55]

yeah I actually knew that he quit before the impeachment vote. The CREEP ops went there to place bugs in the DNC HQ. They also bugged Daniel Ellsbergs doctor . There would've been no bugging of the DNC if Nixon didn't want to know what they had on him regarding Howard Hughes bribes to Nixon .

[excon]

Hello again,

The question now, is NOT whether Christie will be the GOP nominee. It's whether he can remain governor.

Does anybody believe he'll survive? Does anybody think he DIDN'T do what he's being accused of doing??

excon

[speechlesstx]

So far all we have is a bunch of liars making accusations that not even NJ Democrats believe so he'll be fine as Gov. But that won't stop the entire national Democratic machine from going all out to destroy him.

[tomder55]

What the Dems are doing is trying to duplicate the hit job they did on Palin. The goal here is to have him defending himself into the campaign season ;and hoping he uses valuable resources doing it .

I don't want him to be the nominee. But I'm more likely to defend him when I see this bs pile-on. It sure helps the Dem cause that they have the AG of US ready to take a shot .
