1. this is the part where he gives the old "heave hoe" to his aides....

I still say he is headed for a gig on Fox News....

[redstatebluegirl]

2. I think the one who shows up will be "Pissed Off Christie".

The one his aides and handlers fear will make him unelectable on a national stage. He doesn't handle being questioned very well. He ends up looking like a mafia boss about ready to order a hit.

Glad Rachel Maddow and a couple of NJ Democrats in the NJ Legislature stayed on top of this or it would have gone away unnoticed.

3. Shit. I have a conference call scheduled at 8am my time, and I can't set my DVR from here.

Youtube is my only hope

[ctsnowman]

4. You can try

http://www.c-span.org The have many video archives and they are going to carry this.

[Borchkins]

5. This better be the end of him.

[Hayabusa]

6. Why doesn't he apologize to the family of the woman who died?

Should be the first thing.

[Orsino]

8. He takes responsibility only for nebulous wrongdoing by others. n/t

[Orsino]

7. "I have 65,000 people working for me everyday."

No, you corrupt asshole. Of sixty-five thousand people working for the state of New Jersey, you're one of the few that voters can throw out.

[Bryce Butler]

9. Hmmmm

"I am not a crook." - Richard Nixon

"I am not a bully." - Chris Christie

[Marthe48]

10. Quite meek compared to

the hate-filled spew at GOP convention

[another_liberal]

11. "I'm incredibly loyal to my staff." Chris Christie, at his news conference.

And he is, unless his political career requires he throw them under the bus to save his own lying ass.

[George II]

12. He's been sweating for more than an hour and a half....

...I feel sorry for the person who winds up washing his underwear tonight!

[yellowcanine]

15. You just HAD to go there, didn't you?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. "If any of you know anything that I don't know then you need to tell me now!"

He knew ALL about it so OF COURSE they didn't have anything to say.

[another_liberal]

14. Good catch!

And he added, "You know, like anything that might lead to the truth about what we did getting out."
