Chris Christie Has A Bad Habit.....

of trying to further his career by lying about political opponents. Last night's speech at the RNC, which was only missing the line "Burn her! She's a witch!" was just the latest episode. It's a bad habit that he's developed over the years. Politifact has checked his statements 100 times and the result has been that 61 of his statements have been rated half-true, mostly false, false or pants on fire. The 100 fact-checks of Chris Christie, primetime Tuesday speaker at RNC Politifacts checked last night's speech as well. He earned a number of "half-true" ratings, which, I suppose puts him, like Larry Kroger in Animal House, at the top of the Republican pledge class. Congratulations.

This isn't Christie's first time around the block using false statements to promote himself. His very first election featured a cable T.V. ad where he sat next to his wife and infant son (who were both ironically seated front and center for last night's shameful performance as well) and straight out lied to the T.V. camera and to local voters.

In Chris Christie’s first successful campaign for public office, he sat down next to his wife and baby, looked into a camera and told voters something that wasn’t true.

It was 1994, and Christie was a 31-year-old lawyer running for the county board in suburban Morris County, N.J. He was making a television ad, saying to the camera that his opponents were “being investigated by the Morris County prosecutor.”

Actually, they weren’t. But Christie’s inaccurate ad ran more than 400 times on cable TV before the June GOP primary. He won.

Chris Christie’s 1994 ad was too tough (and inaccurate) for Jersey

It's a bad and disgusting habit. It would almost be better to watch him pick his nose or engage in some other vile personal indiscretion on national television. But, that's our governor. And that fact that this wind bag full of half-truths was able to rile up the crowd at the RNC into a witch-burning frenzy is equally as disgusting. I guess there's something to be said for consistency, even if it means you're consistently a lying horse's ass.

Anyway, check out his first performance here in this video. It was the first of so many to come:

1. Christie needs to apologize for last night.

[Laxman]

2. He's Got A Lot More....

than just last night to apologize for. Saying "I'm sorry" is not in his DNA. The man's an out and out sociopath.

[gratuitous]

4. Apologize for everyone just having a good time? Never!

It's often true that bullies will protest that their target was in on the joke, or that everyone including the target was just having fun. But since Gov. Christie doesn't think he's a bully, it means that everyone was just having a good time, and anyone who didn't get the joke should just lighten up.

Of course, the retinue around the bully are all well-coached in defending their hero and faithfully parrot the bully line: It was all in fun!

6. The Republican Party needs to apologize for the last year.

[Doodley]

3. Christie is a nasty bully. No wonder he wants to hang out with Trump.

[Beach Rat]

5. I think Christie plagerized last night's speech!

Here's the evidence!

I hate to make light of it but this just seems to fit.

[Laxman]

7. I Guess That Means....

the only missing line was "she turned me into a newt"!

[lame54]

9. In current context...

It's much worse

[Laxman]

10. Every Time He Plays Prosecutor....

it just makes my blood boil. He never saw the inside of a courtroom, except when he watched Law and Order on T.V.. He's no prosecutor, never was. Just a hack who had the position purchased for him.

In the end, Chris Christie proved to be exactly what he was–a nobody. A nobody who lost a local Morris County election but who had a brother who could buy him a job he didn’t deserve and had no right to fill, the federal prosecutor’s position in New Jersey.

With his media friends, he built a false image of himself as a corruption fighter–even when he exploited his authority for his own corrupt political ends: Going after Democrats and Republicans who stood in his way, concocting entrapment schemes, leaking toxic information to hurt potential rivals.

The last and worst was his manipulation of the sicko Solomon Dwek to put the final nail in former Gov. Jon Corzine’s political coffin. Yes, that occurred after he resigned–but we all know Christie left behind loyalists who timed the “Bid Rig” investigation to come out just before the 2009 gubernatorial election.

Corruption fighter? What a joke. Believe that one and there is a bridge over the Hudson I could sell you–complete with red traffic cones ready for a new traffic study. Now he will come home to New Jersey, a wounded beast thirsting for retribution, undoubtedly hoping a Republican will capture the White House and he can obtain yet another unmerited political job.

there's a special place in Hell for him.

8. I'm guessing Christie floats ...

like a witch.

[Bonhomme Richard]

11. I notice he is one of those guys that shakes his head "no" when...

he is telling blatant lies. I will have to watch for it.

12. And His Latest Sgt. Schultz Impression.....

Christie defends David Samson after ex-Port Authority chief's guilty plea

In his first full comments since Samson admitted to bribing United Airlines to run a money-losing route from Newark to an airport near his vacation home in South Carolina, Christie defended Samson as an "extraordinary person" who "obviously had a lapse in judgment."

Christie also came to the defense of Jamie Fox, his former transportation commissioner who, on the day Samson entered his plea last week, was charged with conspiracy in the case. As a United lobbyist at the time, Fox played an intimate role in re-establishing the flight route, federal prosecutors allege. Christie called Fox, a longtime operative in Democratic administrations, a "very worthwhile and worthy public servant" who "has been convicted of absolutely nothing."

"From everything that everyone has seen about what went on here, these were very personal interactions," Christie told reporters after question-and-answer session on national security with CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

Like Fox, Samson has served in both Republican and Democratic administrations, notably as the Attorney General under Democratic Gov. Jim McGreevey. The admission of guilty in the chairman's flight case "does not erase what he's done with his life," Christie said.

"If somehow the implication of your question is, well, somehow I'm tarred with that conduct - first of all, it's not my conduct. And secondly, David Samson's my friend and always will be," Christie said. "I've made mistakes in my life and I'm sure that everyone standing in this group has made mistakes in theirs, and I would hope that we don't judge the totality of somebody's life in one lapse of judgment."

Samson, who resigned as chairman in the wake of the lane-closure scandal, admitted to federal prosecutors that he pressed for months for United to run the Thursday-to-Monday flights and that he used his power at the agency as leverage.
