Christie must think he's doing well

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

to let this press conference go on and on.

1. It is a well honed tactic.

What amazes me is that the cameras are still on it though

To clarify the raw feed

[global1]

3. I'm Thinking They Are Letting Him Twist In The Wind......

they are hoping they can use clips of this presser to hang him as he trips up or steps out of the timeline that we know already exists on this story.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. They could do that regardless

With the raw feed. The cameras were going to stay, whether the feed went out or not.

It was an amazing raw though. I am glad I don't have to do a write up on this one.

2. He's sticking to the narrative.

I'm a blunt, direct guy.

I knew nothing about this.

And now that I do know, I took swift action, which is what a blunt direct guy does.

Repeat.

6. he knew nothing, so ...

[JoePhilly]

7. I like it ... but I think that's something people

would be more likely to excuse.

If there was proof that he ordered the "code red", its a different story.

[napkinz]

8. what about his statement ...

"I wouldn't have made a joke about the bridge closing IF I THOUGHT ANY MEMBER OF MY STAFF WAS INVOLVED."

So if his staff hadn't been responsible, the SUFFERING of the people of Fort Lee WOULD have still been FUNNY to him!

Tell me that statement isn't REVEALING and DAMAGING.

4. all the laughing joking

reminds me of Rumsfeld's war pressers.....asshole laughing

[LibGranny]

5. He's doing what John McCain advised (maybe not

personally) him to do - answer all the questions, even if it takes 3 hours. I love watching him try to NOT LOSE HIS TEMPER and be his usual nasty self!
