Here! What I'm enjoying is the references to Watergate and nixon that have come up

in all kinds of commentary and reportage about this. GOOD GOOD GOOD!!!! All the better to manage the perception out there! Get a lot of that nixon/Watergate stink on christie and it'll be enough to push enough voters away from him. Especially the older ones who can always be counted on to vote. 'Cause we DO remember.

And every little extra just adds to it. A nice terse soundbite like "I am not a bully" takes you directly to "I am not a crook" (as we've already seen displayed rather artistically by our own EarlG - hey, if you're thinking it, you better believe a lot of other people are thinking it, too) to "I am not a witch" and onward. It just riffs off a whole lotta negatives we've seen and lived through and laughed at in politics.

Just add to the stink. It's all we need to finish this guy off. He may make it to the primaries but then he's just a nice big turkey for his GOP opponents to start carving up.

TOO many good ones!!!

But here's one sample:

If it's a legitimate traffic study, the female body finds a way to shut the whole thing down

Well, the governor's motorcade and all the press trailing behind him sure will create one.

He wants the photo op.

I'd say he's both.

Perhaps. But it can still be used against him.

To add to the pile-on if need be. I'd keep it around. You can manipulate some of the general perception with it.

Well, one can always hope...

Welcome to DU, W.J. McCabe!

Good to have you with us! Let's hope it's NOT all! I hope this gum stays on both his shoes all the way to 2016 and beyond.

Welcome to DU, politicman!

Glad you're here! Who knows? But now, seems to me, he's on the hot seat from here on. I wonder how many new political vendettas will be attempted from here on. Because he's gonna be watched, and watched carefully. And I think he knows it. For his political career, he BETTER know it.

Approximately 9:50am - don't try to sneak a look at your watch, pal.

You HAVE to stand there and take this. ALL OF IT. AS LONG AS IT TAKES. Whether you like it or not. And we all know you'd rather be anywhere else than this. You're stuck, pal. Tough Fucking Shit. THIS goes with the job too.
