Christie Bullied by Yet Another Crazy Lady
Quote:
Has Christie has been done in by secretive incompetent underlings yet again? It didn't occur to ANYONE on his PR team that given his situation, a roast would be begging for trouble? A friendly phone call to the organizers reminding them that Christie wasn't the guest of honor and therefore shouldn't be the main subject of the jokes might have made all the difference. Besides, what better way to prove you're not a bully than to bully a woman? Behar should have said, "I apologize for bullying you -- I think it's because I still haven't gotten over being jilted by Current TV!" Or, "You AREN'T Brendan Bryne? But you're sitting where the guest of honor is supposed to sit!" This story has a happy ending, however: Quote:

Judge Rules For Kelly and Stepien in Bridge(t)-Gate Subpoena Case
A New Jersey superior court judge has ruled that Kelly and Stepien can refuse to turn over subpoenaed documents to the state investigative panel because they may be self-incriminating. Kelly is reportedly "thrilled," while Stepien's lawyer described it as "a complete vindication" of his client. But it's hardly a setback. The reason the judge ruled this way is precisely because they ARE afraid of incriminating themselves -- otherwise there would be no reason to take the fifth in the first place. The judge indicated that more specific state-level subpoena requests would be considered, and also pointed out that there were probably complimentary federal subpoenas pending which cannot be refused. For example: Quote:

Meanwhile, feedback on Christie's self-investigation has come in. Polls say that 63%, 84%, and another 63% of those surveyed look at the Christie-Mastro report as a "whitewash" -- an average of 70%. And now it's possible that there may be less to the report than meets the eye! Quote:

Probably just a coincidence, but: Quote:
Maybe she just got lucky that there was a vacancy. Maybe somebody had to take the fall for the roast, and Christie needs Drewniak too badly to fire him. Maybe Christie arranged the job as a favor to Drewniak. Or maybe she decided to jump before she was pushed. At any rate, as Ms. Walker walks the Oregon Trail, she'll be pleased to know that Oregon and New Jersey are the only states in America in which it's illegal to pump your own gas! |

"This memorandum does not contain a verbatim transcript of what was said at the meeting; rather, it is a summary of the discussion that reflects counsel’s mental thoughts and impressions and is therefore covered by the attorney work product doctrine."So begins each of the 75 interview summary memos distilled from Christie's taxpayer-financed, self-absolving investigation of Bridge(t)-Gate and the accusation that he masterminded the shakedown the mayor of Hoboken. Unfortunately, because it WAS taxpayer financed: Quote:
Well, the interview summary memos are now online -- it's a moot issue anyway. So let's take a took at what Christie had to "say" for himself (beginning on page 163): Quote:
You'll be happy to know, however, got when the going got tough, Christie got going: During the December 13, 2013 senior staff meeting, the Governor walked in, slammed the door, and stood the whole time.But that isn't to say that he lacks a sensitive side: The Governor recalled that O’Dowd had reported that Kelly was crying when she had said that she had nothing to do with the lane realignment...The Governor was not surprised that someone, particularly an individual like Kelly, might be nervous or upset in this situation... Maybe the root of Christie's problems is that he doesn't recall becoming New Jersey's governor! |

*New Jersey state employees need not apply. You've already gambled your pension on Chris Christie -- and lost. Now we know the real reason why Christie is so anti-state pension funding -- he's been pissing away our money! |
In his spare time, Christie heads up the Republican Governor's Association, going on speaking tours and bragging of setting new fundraising records for them. Among them is a recent donation of ten thousand dollars:

Because not everyone here is an English-speaking American, I'll explain what the Securities and Exchange Commission does: they act as a police force over America's public and private financial dealings, and they've decided to join the state and federal authorities in investigating Chris Christie:

It's possible that Christie wasn't "aware" or didn't "recall" that the Pulaski Skyway couldn't feed the Lincoln Tunnel it its life depended on it. But trying to re-brand the Pulaski Skyway as feeding the Champs Elysees would be easier to believe! |
