CNN host S.E. Cupp offered advice to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday in the wake of increasingly damning allegations related to the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge: quit now and live to run for president another day.

“I’ll tell you what will happen: his supporters, both in New Jersey and across the nation will come out,” Cupp argued to colleague Jake Tapper. “He will be a martyr and a hero, and over the next two years, he’ll quietly go about plotting a presidential campaign.”

Tapper pointed out that Christie was not apologetic following reports that members of his staff orchestrated the gridlock to punish Fort Lee, New Jersey Mayor Mark Sokolich for not joining other Democrats in endorsing Christie’s re-election bid. Instead, Christie said in a statement that he was “misled” by a staff member, and vowed, “People will be held responsible for their actions.”

However, state Assembly Deputy Speaker John Wisniewski (D), who is overseeing the investigations, was quoted as saying that either Christie “doesn’t know what’s going on in his front office or that there’s lying going on,” adding that the Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee has the power to subpoena him.

“You’re saying [Christie] should resign if he was directly involved,” Tapper said to Cupp.

Naive does not explain this simpleton

1. I just can't wrap my head around

the fact that someone as stupid as S.E. Cupp has a degree from Cornell.

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

11. well... somebody gave bachman a degree...

[mtasselin]

12. agree

She wants to be accepted by the right wing so bad she will say and/or do anything, as far as the degree goes the bar must be pretty low at Cornell.

2. I hope he takes her advice

[giftedgirl77]

3. My first instinct is to just call her a clueless twit

& be done with it. But part of me really hopes she is just playing a role to pander to someone.

4. Diarrhea of the mouth.

Sure, because "disgraced Governor" looks good on a resume.

I say go for it.

[n2doc]

5. And he needs to say 'You won't have Christie to kick around anymore"

6. Is she joking?

The blood isn't even dry on this scandal and Cupp is thinking a presidential run for him? I would think all speculation on that would be on hold. But I guess a scandal riddled candidate is still usable to Republicans. Wow.

7. Because that strategy worked so well for Sarah Palin.

Resigning from office when confronted with your scandals has always been the path to higher office.

8. She's out of her FUCKING SKULL!!!!

These righties would justify a republican politician if he would turn out to be a child molester or a murderer

[malaise]

10. Or both

[Ganja Ninja]

9. Nothing makes a Republican more electable than resigning in disgrace.

Go figure.

13. well, she does have a point...

Bully? check
Vengeful? check
Liar? check
Incompetent? check
Criminal? check
Quitter? check and mate

This could be the final push he needs to endear himself once and for all, proving his "true conservative chops," to the rightwing nutcases.

[malaise]

15. How did that work for Lady Blah Blah?

[magical thyme]

16. it didn't stop her from being VP candidate

and still playing "maybe I'll run for Pres" and sucking up donations for years, and landing a spot on Fox, and so on...

14. I miss Sippy Cupp since she left MSNBC ...

Her ridiculous statements were always hilarious.
