Bruce Springsteen Mocks New Jersey Governor
At the December 2012 Hurricane Sandy benefit, Bruce gave a warm, sincere welcome to one of his "biggest" fans, New Jersey governor Chris "Governor Soprano" Christie:
http://rocktivity.com/Graphics/bruce_christie.jpg More recently, Bruce mocked Christie's "Bridge(t)-Gate" scandal with an assist from talk show host Jimmy Fallon: http://youtu.be/VKHV0LLvhXM while Jersey boy Jon Stewart of The Daily Show finds that not even he could explain it all without help from "The Boss": http://www.rocktivity.com/video/tds_christie.webm |
I loved this - Bruce and Rachel Maddow are my heroes LOL

A Guide To The Four NJ Mayors Who Say Chris Christie Was One Big Bully |
This is turning into TV worth watching LOL. There are new allegations daily. Today the FBI is involved:

Okay, now he's getting just plain sloppy.
Quote:
Are we supposed to believe that this lawyer took Kelly's case not knowing that technically, he WORKS for Christie? And does Christie think we've already forgotten that he FIRED Kelly, whereas he allowed the others involved in Bridge(t)-Gate to resign? So why in the world did Timpone go within ten miles of Kelly in the first place? My theory:

Allegation of the the Day
Quote:
Unless the shutdown of the air quality monitor was deliberately engineered by those evil, secretive minions of his -- and precisely because they KNEW that a high reading would probably result in the lane closures being interrupted. Is there no end to their underhanded evildoing, and their cruel soiling of poor, innocent Christie's spotless virtue? Cue the violins! http://rocktivity.com/Graphics/nopity.gif |
Thought you'd get the weekend off? Not so fast...

Okay, this isn't brain surgery: O'Toole is implicated in the investigation whether anyone likes it or not, and he CANNOT remain on the committee, or he'll be investigating himself. But Christie, O'Toole, and Kean are Republicans: their sticking together is logical if not ethical. Sweeney, on the other hand, is a Democrat -- what's his excuse? Quote:
So by leaving O'Toole on the committee, Sweeney gets to thank Christie for not backing the fellow Republican who ran against him and Christie has a potential spy in the enemy camp, effectively undermining the state-level investigation before it even starts. Which means that O'Toole will either have to recuse himself or be ousted on an ethics ruling: Quote:

Bruce is in great shape for someone in their mid 60s. He has biceps of someone in their 20s.

I wonder what made the Rockefellers so nervous all of a sudden. It can't be that Christie gave Samson the Port Authority job -- that happened three years ago. And so what if the chairmanship doesn't pay? Samson can make a nice enough living off his clients who need to do business with the PA. It's all quite a mystery, LOL! |
Chiriste and Wildstein: Not Exactly The Best Pen Pals
Quote:
Christie retaliated with an email to his supporters, one of whom must have sent it to the press because HE wouldn't stoop to doing anything so pathetic: Quote:
|
Quote:
Since Christie didn't fire her at the same time as Kelly, he evidently doesn't blame Renna for anything. So what is she worried about -- being accused of not telling Kelly about hearing from the mayor of Ft. Lee? Quote:
|
Update: Renna's resignation
Quote:
Quote:
P.S. Good thing for the Rennas that he got the promotion just a few weeks after the scandal started -- I'm sure he got a raise which should help round out his wife's unemployment checks! :rolleyes: |
Oops, they did it again
About that message that was emailed to Christie's supporters -- those scheming, anonymous staffers of his have undermined him once again!
Quote:
The "unflattering" coverage may have been the result of the email coming across as the work of a clique of spiteful adolescents, particularly the section on his ex-employee David Wildstein: Quote:
With a personal qualities like that, why in the world would Christie hire such an unseemly person in the first place? Quote:

How Can You Be Your Own Chief Investigator AND Your Own Prime Suspect?
Last week, Christie traveled to Texas and Florida to host Republican party fundraising events. Unfortunately, lots of Texas and Floridia Republican VIPs found that they were unable to attend. But now he's back home, rejuvenated, and ready to take on an internal investigation of Bridge(t)-Gate!
Quote:
Zimmer says it was Christie's lieutenant governor Kim Guadagno who delivered the message. Maybe she's the person he should start his internal investigation with: Quote:
|
You know how the murderer always seems to get caught because he makes one teeny tiny little mistake? Christie's mistake seems to be not taking into account that American multi-state agencies (such as the Port Authority of New York AND New Jersey) are under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Christie had his ducks in a row as far as being able to control any state-level investigation. He was in the process of promoting his chief of staff (the #3 person in his inner circle) to the position of attorney general -- the highest-ranking lawyer in New Jersey -- when Bridge(t)-Gate broke. Had he been successful, it would have effectively given Christie the power to control the outcome of any state-level investigation. Since then, a member of the state investigative committee whose name appears in the Bridge(t)-Gate emails not been removed, and Christie has installed a new director to the state ethics commission, as I mentioned before. Christie doesn't have the power to control "the Feds," however, and it looks like they are not concentrating on Ft. Lee and Hoboken alone: Quote:

Holy crap - you're right. I didn't see that one coming but should have.

I'm glad Mr. Samson is "too ethical" to collect paychecks from both the PA and his law firm's clients that do business with the PA. According to The Rachel Maddow Show, here's a heartwarming story about a paycheck that Mr. Samson DID pick up: Quote:
But before you start accusing Mr. Samson of unethical-ness below and beyond the call of duty, you'll be happy to know that he has seen the error of his ways and has sought to make amends: Quote:
The next step, of course, is for Mr. Samson to "retroactively recuse" the money that "the entity" paid his law firm. But that might take a while, because the entity is New Jersey Transit -- who VERY recently lost THEIR chairman! |
Dear God - the brain boggles reading that post LOL. However the fact that Samson is a slimebag comes through loud and clear.

Two more things that Christie "didn't know"
1. The good news is, a new chief of staff has been appointed to the new deputy director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The bad news is, Christie must be unaware that she is implicated in the Bridge(t)-Gate emails and is under subpoena!
2. Apparently Christie didn't know that the lawyer he hired to head up his "internal review" is also heading his law firm's defense of the PA in a lawsuit against its toll hikes. The lawyer has withdrawn from the lawsuit, but his firm has not, so the conflict of interest remains. |
Another Bridge(t)-Gate subpoena recipient has vacated his post:

From people who have been at the Port for 30 years - "It's never been this bad". Yes there are always people you need to be aware of - it's never been this polarized. |
This serving of "Life On Planet Christie" comes with a side order
...of anti-Semitism.
Remember those documents David Wildstein turned over to the state investigative committee? Parts of them were blacked out, and Wildstein said he could delivered them non-blacked out in exchange for immunity. Well, he has since released the un-blacked out records -- sort of: Quote:

It's the hypocrisy, stupid
The state investigative committee has officially slid into irrelevance.
