I'm Popeye,the Sailor Man

++ I am who I am. I am not a bully,saith Chris Christie. In the last few days we have seen the story of the GWB traffic jam unravel with the release of over 2,000 pages on materials, superb local reporting by the New Jersey press, and ,of course, the governor's marathon press conference. The pundit class are trying to say Christie can salvage his presidential bid and that Americans don't care about what goes on in New Jersey. Republicans are trying to spin this as Christie took decisive actions by firing his second tier advisers and this makes him more responsive than President Obama who has don't nothing about his so-called scandals. Maybe because they aren't scandals. Even Mika Brezinski at the Morning Joe show defended her friend. 

++But wait. The story in the last few days has gotten more complicated with a whole bunch of political implications. Fired aide Bridget Kelly was tweeting about the Fort Lee traffic jam as she walked alongside Christie during the Seaside Heights photo op. E-mails complaining about the bridge closure by the Port Authority were sent directly to Christie. His chief of staff now has been nominated to be New Jersey's Attorney-General, the man in charge of investigating the closure. Christie's democratic opponent believes Christie will have to quit. The New Jersey press simply doesn't believe Christie had nothing to do with the bridge closure because his closest staff are loyal to him and they were the ones involved.

++Where does this go? The New Jersey Assembly is continuing the investigation--if their ability to subpoena witnesses is re-approved on Tuesday. The Feds are starting to investigate whether federal laws were broken because the Port Authority is a regional entity. But at least Chris Christie will be in Florida soon campaigning for the King of Medicare Fraud, Governor Scott.

++Chris Christie was supposed to use the next year campaigning for Republicans because he is the head of the Republicans Governor Association this year. Whether he can achieve this launch, is another matter.

++Chris Hayes claimed that New Jersey was the most corrupt state because of Boardwalk Empire. Really? There are alot of candidates. But remember you can pre-order Season Four of Boardwalk Empire now.
