Christie incinerates 12 MILLION and the media SAYS NOTHING, IRS waste 4.1 million and its a scandal?

This is ridiculous, all because Governor Christie is terrified to have Booker on the same ticket. Republicans will do anything for an uneven playing field. They are cowards and they have no regard for fiscal responsibility, case in point.

With the exception of the alteration of Senate rules to stop the minority party from this unprecedented abuse.

at luxury hotels for several days...you bet your ass that is a scandal. But,, that is why there is oversight and that is why this is being looked at now...someone blew the whistle, it needs to be investigated and IF there was wrong-doing, heads need to roll.

You can't be selective in your outrage. How did you find out about Christie "incinerates" 12 million? The media?

Obviously the IRS waste is a scandal, that is a no brainer. If talking heads are going to rally on the fundamentals of waste, fraud and abuse, it is essential to include ALL waste, fraud and abuse in an effort to avoid politicalization. Fair is fair, right?

You can't be selective in your defense Governor Christie and remain a "legitimate" member of DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.

Christie has set the date for the special election and his choice is costing an extra $12 million. What's so hard to understand about that??
