Crew Christie Personnel Department update:
Remember the O'Dowds? Husband Kevin went from Christie's chief of staff to Cooper University Health Care, which caused a conflict of interest because wife Mary is the state health commissioner. Well, as of the end of the month wife Mary will be joining Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance. I don't know enough about her new position to determine if it solves their conflict of interest problem, but here's a conflict of interest problem Mary created all by herself:

Meanwhile, as the August 6 Fox News Republican presidential debate approaches, it looks like Christie will make the cut in being among the top ten polling candidates: Quote:
so any distance Christie can put between himself and Mr. Kasich would help him enormously. Quote:

Doesn't Christie realize that he sounds more like he's auditioning for the next Godfather movie? Is he that desperate to out-Trump Donald Trump for attention-grabbing headlines, or was CNN so desperate to get some of his advertising dollars, they gave him such an ass-kissing interview? At least Christie spent this weekend in New Jersey. He joined 60,000 others at the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park. It's a horse race, not a golf tournament, won by Triple Crown winner American Pharaoh. But I thought once you won the Triple Crown, your next career move was, to put it diplomatically, creating FUTURE Triple Crown winners! Quote:

The first Republican presidential debate will be starting in a few hours,
so I'm posting this now in anticipation of being too incapacitated from either alcohol or laughter to do it later. Speaking of anticipation, the Surgeon General (the U.S. government's top-ranking doctor) reportedly suggested at a press conference this morning that people play a safer variation of the traditional debate drinking game by only consuming alcohol when one of the candidates says something reasonable.
So here's the latest on Tunnel-Gate: Quote:

Exxon Settlement Ruling Updates
Incorporating what was posted yesterday.
There has been one ruling on Christie's settlement with Exxon -- the settlement he reduced by some ninety-seven percent. The judge has rejected the inclusion of New Jersey State Senator Ray Lesniak and environmental groups as parties to the settlement: Quote:
And here are some things to chew on while awaiting the actual settlement ruling: Quote:
Quote:
You can't tell the corruption without a scorecard! |
Now that I've sufficiently sobered up from the political midget mud wrestling marathon -- I mean, Republican presidential debate -- to evaluate Christie's performance, I'm happy to report that the way his true colors shined through rivaled Donald Trump's. But I also have to say that Christie was set up a little.
For hosts Fox News, pretty much the media arm of the Republican party, their marching orders were clear -- make Jeb Bush look better and frontrunner Donald Trump look worse. Bush got softball questions that allowed him to appear passionate yet lucid; Trump was prodded into his trademark ranting and raving; and Christie was pitted against a candidate who opposes him on a security issue, sending him into bully attack mode: Quote:

TRENTON — Here is a look at what's being said across the nation about Gov. Chris Christie's run for president: • The Des Moines (Iowa) Register ran an opinion piece from Kraig Paulsen, speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives, about why he is endorsing Christie for president. • Talking Points Memo explored how Christie appears to be backtracking on birthright citizenship. • The Asbury Park Press examined how a visit to the Iowa State Fair may have been key for Christie. • The Asbury Park Press reported that Christie was at a fundraiser in the Hamptons this weekend with Jon Bon Jovi. • Fox News Radio reported that Christie called President Obama "the worst negotiator in the history of the presidency" during an interview. And here is the story about Christie and Jon "partying" If it's August, chances are Jon Bon Jovi and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are at a party in the Hamptons. This year, it was a return to the Wainscott estate of Ronald O. Perelman to take part in the fundraiser for the Apollo Theater on Saturday, Aug. 15. Jamie Foxx, Jimmy Fallon, Pitball, Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson and Bon Jovi were the performers, backed by the Roots, and Jack Nicholson, Penny Marshall, Harvey Weinstein, Mary-Kate Olsen, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Robert Kraft, Perelman and plenty more power players were in the audience, according to multiple reports. Bon Jovi joined Robinson on stage for “The Tracks of My Tears,” according to the Wall Street Journal. “This is what rock-and-roll history looks like,” Bon Jovi said of Robinson. “This is what rock 'n' roll history sounds like.” Christie, who is a Republican presidential candidate, kept a low profile at the party as compared to last year when he jumped on stage to dance with Foxx. Instead, he ate fried chicken and salmon with Bon Jovi and convened with billionaire private equity boss Steve Schwarzman, according to a Bloomberg report. He sat with Matt Lauer to watch the show, according to the New York Times. Bon Jovi, who has a home in East Hampton, has popped up at several events in the area this summer. Most recently he joined President Bill Clinton Tuesday, Aug. 18 at the the Blue Parrot restaurant in East Hampton for the Clinton's 68th birthday dinner, according to the Daily Mail. Both Hillary and Chelsea Clinton didn't make the dinner. Jon Bon Jovi and wife Dorothea Bongiovi hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, in June at the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank. Bon Jovi is scheduled to release “Burning Bridges” on Friday, Aug. 21, the band’s first album without long-time guitarist and co-writer of the Bon Jovi hits, Richie Sambora. |

This just in -- the state court has approved the three-cents-on the dollar Exxon Mobil settlement.

Quote:

While his three-cents-on-the-dollar settlement is being appealed, let's check in on Christie's presidential campaign.
Christie has undisputed possession of eleventh place in the national polls, once again putting himself in danger of missing the cut for the next nationally televised Republican debate on Sept. 16: Quote:
But what's the cure -- what strategy should Christie employ to overcome the formidable polling and media domination of frontrunner Trump? Well, it makes sense to take a look at what Trump has been saying to earn such domination: Did you see the pattern there? Do you see the answer? It's right under your nose -- the way to duplicate the success of The Donald (what his first wife called him) is to duplicate Duh Donald! Quote:
Okay, slogan duplicating accomplished. All he has to do now is say something "ever controversial" that the Republican voters would love and that the national media simply could not ignore: Quote:
Secondly, where would the tracking mechanism be? If it's on the visa itself, that raises the problem of the visa not always being where the visa holder is. That leaves embedding it in the visa holder, like that movie Logan's Run: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...46e4aec6c3.jpg Or something could be tattooed on, like what was done to Holocaust prisoners. So far, FedEx has declined comment...for some reason... |
SHOCKING NEWS!

And, of course, neither Trump nor Christie "tell it like it is," but like they need you to believe it is with no questions or backtalk -- which is precisely WHY they "tell it" so loudly. |
Christie is in a flat-footed tie for tenth place
in the Republican presidential polling race. How can he push Ron Paul into undisputed possession of eleventh place, which would give Christie the bottom rung on national debate ladder? Shift the "Duplicate Duh Donald" strategy into overdrive!

Fine. However, saying extremist-endearing, national media-generating things is only half of what Duplicating Duh Donald is all about. Here, note how Trump avoids apology, accountability, remorse and regret like the plague: Quote:

I hope that cop got the boot, the sack, AND the bum's rush. And I would say that Christie and his party still have every right to be angry at New York City's police commissioner and mayor, except...except that in 2011, New York City's police commissioner and mayor were Ray Kelly and Mike Bloomberg, NOT Bill Bratton and Bill DiBlasio... He can't even hold a grudge right. |

Among this volume of ridicule of Chris Christie, you won't find many weight-oriented jokes. That's because Christie's political and ethical failings far outdistance his dietary ones -- and besides, if losing weight really was simply a matter of eating less and exercising more, everyone would be skinny.
Similarly, you'll find few suggestions that Christie, of Irish and Sicilian parentage, should be associated with the Mafia -- for instance, I refer to his administration as "Crew Christie" instead of "the Christie crew." Yes, I refer to him as "Governor Soprano," but the Sopranos were fictional characters -- and a mobster who seeks out psychiatric counseling is about as fictional as a character can get! Which brings us to this report from the Christie presidential campaign -- relevant because a U.S. presidential job duty is commander-in-chief of the military. Cue the F-Troop theme: https://youtu.be/vhpOSirfdGk https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/im...EeW4yZRHJfzTuQ Quote:
As for Christie not being aware of the reprimand, that's pretty much impossible. Cunniff not mentioning it to Christie is one thing. But there is no way that Cunniff's superiors at The Pentagon (U.S. military headquarters) would NOT have informed Christie directly that they might have to supply him with a new military subordinate in chief. That's Chain Of Command 101 stuff: as fundamental to the military as -- well, having to meet minimal physical fitness standards! Quote:
|
Gosh darn it -- it looks like those well-intentioned but loyal-to-a-fault subordinates of Chris Christie have undermined him yet again! On the heels of not informing Christie that his military point man had been formally reprimanded and was in danger of being dismissed, they may have defied a New Jersey Supreme Court order:
Quote:
|
It's been pretty quiet on the Christie campaign trail -- or has it actually been the calm before the storm?
The third national Republican party presidential debate took place the day before yesterday, and you'll be pleased to know that though his average poll rating has skyrocketed to 2.4 percent since the previous debate, Governor Soprano hasn't been resting on his laurels. He spent the weekend before the third debate manufacturing fresh "duplicating duh Donald" quotes in hopes of scoring headlines: Quote:
The Face The Nation political talk show is usually filmed in Washington D.C., which would explain why Christie was on a train from DC to New York that same day: Quote:

The past week had all the makings for a big comeback for Christie -- nationally as well as locally. What better way to show off his presidential credentials than by celebrating the third anniversary of his victory over Hurricane Sandy?

Back in July, the web site AshleyMadison.com was hacked, revealing the private information of tens of millions of its account holders. Now for the bad news: Ashley Madison specializes in setting up extra-marital affairs between its supposedly anonymous members.
Not surprisingly, legal actions against Ashley have been sprouting like weeds. Some employees have claimed they were ordered to invent thousands of false profiles of female members to attract more men. The hackers claim they can prove that while Ashley charges extra to delete your account, they hold on to your info anyway. And of course, lawsuits have been filed by cheating spouses who feel they've been also cheated on by Ashley. And now for the good news: Chris Christie's brother Todd was one of those cheating spouse Ashley Madison account holders! Quote:
Quote:
Todd Christie may end up without a marriage or a job with his brother over this. But at least he can't be used as leverage to force Governor (or President!) Chris Christie into acting against his constituents' best interests -- that's grounds for rejoicing! |
The trials of Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni were to start this month, but they've been pushed back to April. Which is just as well, since it appears that their lawyers very likely would have had to ask for it to be delayed anyhow:

According to Rachel Maddow and the court filing: Quote:

"Sure, anything that you, Bridget or Baroni can give us on Christie would help us do a better job of nailing him on Bridge(t)-Gate. But we've got him dead bang on his attempts to cover it up, plus on his relationship with David Samson. THAT is why we have no immunity deals in stock. It's no skin off our backs if you, Kelly, and Baroni take the entire fall for Bridge(t)-Gate -- as far as we're concerned, it's only a matter of how much jail time each of you ends up with. "So...do you give us the hard drive, or do you try your luck with a jury? Ask yourself how lucky you feel about getting acquitted -- punk!" |
