I think Christie is finished

I'll miss his sign language interpreter - SNL version.

Politics is like a sausage factory. You really don't want to know what goes on behind the scenes.

Not defending Christie but Hoboken got $70mil in federal aid and is set to get another round from the Feds. Pretty standard that states don't kick in until they know what Feds are giving.

Sad that you think it is acceptable either way. If anyone, Republican or Democrat, bullies cities and towns in this way, you can be sure I won't vote for them. How about you?

I can gurantee that you have voted for them. That is how pervasive it is. Since the dawn of time....

Sorry, but Christie's not getting off with this "everyone does it" excuse. He screwed his own constituents. That's not just politics as usual.

Yes. Everybody does it. Doesn't make it right. Why do you think Christie had Obama visit after Sandy? Same thing. Different direction.

I don't see that this is too bad for him. He retains plausible deniability...

No, probably most politicians do acts of political favoritism. And maybe they trade votes to get bills passed. I can't think of that many times when they deliberately screw a group of the public out of political vindictiveness like this.

If you want to keep playing this "everyone does it" game, please tell me how Martin O'Malley or Jay Nixon or Bobby Jindal did something so deliberately evil to their own constituents. Each has been in office long enough, picked two dems and a republican, and three different regions of the country.

Now go. Tell me how any of them did it.

Can you read? I said it doesn't make it right. I just pointed out that Christie playing up to Obama during Sandy was the same thing.

He isn't going to have plausible deniability for long. There are already four different members of his staff involved.

And how many of Obama's staff were involved with the Benghazi cover up using the fake story of a video causing the attack?

Yeah and what about all the unicorns Obama killed?

Fox is not covering the Christie stuff. So he will be fine. Roger ailes really like him. Look for the republicans from the house and senate to move in and stop any investigate.

Ailes will be done.

No one is saying it is right, but it is politics. It is especially prevalent on the local level. It is happening right now with the DC mayoral race. Put a sign up for your candidate as a business owner at your own peril. These payback schemes typically affect their own constituents! If you have ever been involved in local politics, this stuff isn't new or shocking. What is shocking is their paper trail! I thought this article was pretty insightful. The Clintons are great at this game. Their machine has it down. I always wonder if that will help or hurt Her in 2016. The last primary was so ugly an those people don't forget. Ever! http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/13/22291170-cultures-of-payback-for-leading-2016-contenders

I don't know what you consider coverage..... while it's not the 3 stories on MSNBC's main page, this is on Fox's homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/18/romney-defends-christie-handling-bridge-controversy/?intcmp=latestnews

Fox morning's main stories were 1) a guy claims to have hacked the aca website and 2) Benghazi.

So the Fox story was that Romney supports Christie. Oh boy, that's fair and balanced. Because the most newsworthy thing to come out last night was Romney's opinion on it, not that Hoboken got screwed by Christie on relief funds.
