Ex-aide: Christie knew about lane closures on bridge

There is evidence that Gov. Chris Christie knew of the George Washington Bridge access lane closings as they were happening, says a lawyer for the former port authority official blamed for the politically motivated incident, but Christie's office denied the allegation....

"Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some," the letter also reads. The letter was first reported by the New York Times....

Zegas' letter sent shock waves through New Jersey's political community, with one veteran pundit saying the revelation was a "bombshell."

"Most of us who have watched this governor over the past several weeks anticipated this, given his demeanor has been rather un-Christie-like," said Brigid Callahan Harrison, a political science professor at Montclair State University.

Heh. They're reading his poker tells.

We sure don't want to elect someone like that!

You and I don't often agree... but we do this time...

... and it's not just him... it's the people he surrounds himself with... especially if they're of the same [[or worse) demeanor...

Absolutely bizarre, this conservative persecution complex.

Haha.... They would not. Obama hardly has taken any head for things that he is tied to. Yet Christie may have set up a traffic jam and the Liberal media goes INSANE! I can't stop laughing.

"Liberal media?" funny. Not even PBS goes against the Koch Brothers' machine anymore. There is hardly any "liberal" media left. at best it is center-right, but when you are so whacked out with the extremism of the right-wing, even that looks liberal. So how about some specific regarding Obama scandals. Please make sure to fact-check, and please, no more Bengazi comments unless you are willing to answer to the dozen or so MORE fatal attacks under Dubya, or the House insistence on REDUCING embassy security funding BEFORE Bengazi

but when you are so whacked out with the extremism of the left wing, even the middle looks conservative.

Take a look at Ike's 56 platform - considered center-right at the time, Goldwater's 64 platform - considered extremely right wing at the time, consider Reagan's policies, considered hard right at the time. All are considered "too liberal" by the nut-jobs of today's American right.
