Why Christie did not fire aides today
Watching MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell hitting on Christie for not firing his aides today.
He said and the other panelists agreed that 12 hours is enough for an action for someone who represents himself as "decisive". They thought it was a character failing on Christies part. However, I suspect the reason is something else altogether which fully fits his character.
The media including the MSNBC hosts do not understand or do not want to discuss the fact that even though 12 hours is plenty of time to fire an aide caught red-handed, it is not a lot of time to negotiate sufficient payoffs to your whole staff to arrange for them to fall on their own swords (ending their careers) to protect him from any exposure.

Well, I have wanted a Sopranos movie ever since the tv show finished airing, and then James Gandolfini passed away and I gave up hope for it.
Now I have hope again, they can cast Christie as the new Tony Soprano. Who will get behind that? 
And his career in politics is pretty much done, I think
what his aides were doing a few feet away from his office.
...and I can't figure out what it means. How can Rove ''fix'' this? Especially when it seems everyone, including the state's Democratic Party, knew it because.... well, that's Christie. It's what he does.
- Please use diagrams or graphs to show how Rove arranged this, if you think it'd be helpful.
mention this. 
That's what I was thinking, and he's probably negotiating real hard to find those soon to be fired for show folks other juicy jobs to keep them quite while he shoves them under the bus on TeeVee... only, as mentioned above, they are all in the federal microscope now so...? I hope he get impeached, prosecuted and sentenced.
...for a new insurance/liability product: Political Scandal Insurance.
- They can even sell them as derivatives and make some real money, since there's no end to political scandals, the sky's the limit......

it's called pubic public liability insurance. 
That a gang of high-level, close-to-the governor staffers would go out on a limb like this without his knowledge, thus his end-of-the-day statement is not in the least bit believable.
Only one person in that group has the motivation for the kind of over-the-top revenge that took place.
Furthermore, it is utterly ridiculous to think that someone would just email about "time for a traffic jam" and expect that another person would know exactly what to do. That had to have been extensively discussed prior to that email.

I would be horrified if someone suggested payback that would include impacting anyone on the road - I'd be thinking of emergency responders, kids going to school, people trying to get to work or go to job interviews - WTF - it's very telling that his staff acts like it's just another one of their duties - certainly like they've done such sh** before
