In the near future a reality show would be a good goal for Christie if he could find a slot after his day in court.

to fight back. I'm normally a kind of "the Captain should go down with the ship" type, especially when it comes to loyalty, but in this case I absolutely support Bridget Kelly's honesty. Yeah, she's sleazy and immoral for what she did, but maybe this experience will help her see the light that is decency.

That bastard should never be allowed to run for office again. Period. I hope he spends time in jail, if that's possible.

But the help would be getting him to fit under the bus. he probably rolls pretty well, but I doubt he would fit under the bus unless you lifted the bus............

You keep having these massive problems with you Republican Governors and are too lazy to vote them out when they are up for re-election.
It's hard to have sympathy with you.

I understand some of you work super hard, but the rest of your state is full of slackers.

You look like Jackie Gleason, as the host of YOU'RE IN THE PICTURE. The worst game show bomb in television history.

It's true, Christie is fat, but does that mean there has to be a barrage of fat jokes? Grow up.
