What scandal?
He didn't know. He runs a huge state. He's not checking every bridge repair schedule.
Just pretend it was Gov. Obama, that should help.
Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., said Wednesday that his constituents "were put in jeopardy because of some jerk who made a decision."
Though Christie denies involvement, Democrats have tried to use the incident to undercut his image as a bipartisan problem-solver -- amid expectations that he may run for president in 2016.
Republican operative Hogan Gidley told The Associated Press that even if Christie navigates the current controversy well, the issue would likely come back to haunt during in a presidential run.
"I don't necessarily think it's Christie's policy that's going to ultimately catapult or sink his campaign; I think it's his personality," said Gidley, a senior adviser to 2012 presidential candidate Rick Santorum.
In December, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., formally asked the Port Authority to "answer for" the incident.
"Unwarranted lane closures with no public notice can have serious ramifications on interstate commerce and safety in the region," he said at the time. "The gravity of this situation demands a comprehensive investigation."
Obama has ONLY added oversight on the NSA, dingbat...btw
Until there is an investigation, there aren't any facts to report. Until then, there are only accusations, assumptions and commentary, which all mean zip without proof.
Hey, if the NYT can wait over a year to even mention Benghazi, why can't FOX wait till there is actually something to report here. Apparently, they mentioned it at least.
FOX has been critical of Christie, so it's not like they've gone out of their way to cover for him.
The responsibility of his assistants' actions are of course down to Christie, as are Obama's and as were Bush's.
But . . . if those actions were done without his knowledge or implied agreement, then how quickly Christie acts to discipline them will be the crux of the matter.
What's actually going on. Help me out here. It sounds really bad because I know all the transit routes there. But I'm sick as can be and not running on full speed here.
NOT THE GOVERNMENTS FUCKING JOB TO FIX BRIDGES
He did nothing wrong.

There are e-mails.

The email trail is the smoking gun, for sure. And corroborates what the mayor of Fort Lee, NJ claimed.
No, Christie's office doesn't oversee bridge repairs, but their respective offices are responsible for notifying the local authorities so that detours can be created and signs posted for motorists of the closure dates. This didn't happen, because it was not a legitimate closing.

We just want to know the origin of your tiny and simple thoughts. You don't have the imagination to make it up on your own.
