Pathetic! Morning Jowl tries to justify Christie's actions. Also CNN Anchor Cuomo stated that FOX

covers the right and MSNBC covers the right. He failed to say what the h*** CNN covers. Apologists all over the news.

1. More info, please

I saw the first 20 minutes of MJ and nobody was defending him or trying to justify. In fact, Joe was quite open about being a fan of Christie before all this.

3. Joe stated that he will give Christie the benefit of the doubt because he is his friend.

4. Whatta schmuck

How anyone can believe Christie didn't know about this (even if he didn't order it which I believe he did) is beyond me. It defies reality.

6. he also stated Christie should call for a full investigation by NJ AG

2. The most trusted name in ... We'll have to leave it there.

5. They're about to repeat the Christie discussion.

The 8:00 repeat segment. Let's see, because I only caught a small part of the live discussion, and no one was defending Christie. Quite the opposite. They asked Chuck Todd flat-out "Does anyone actually believe Christie didn't know?" Todd's answer was no. I don't know how that is "defending" Christie.

7. exactly - a good 20-minute discussion - Joe stated that either

"he has lost his chance for national office or he is a poor leader" (paraphrased, of course)

8. This is why I'm not convinced (yet)

that Christie's done. The MSM are apologists for the 1% and the 1% want Christie to be the Republican nominee. The Republicans have no back up to my knowledge. It's too soon after Dim Son for Jeb and they're not going to let anyone in from the Republican Clown Car. Then again, they have two more years. They could resurrect Christie in that time.

OTOH, the 1% may not even bother with the GOP. They have Hillary.

9. The question is whether the Republican Party can trust Christie going forward.

The guy has shown himself to be incredibly tone deaf and bungling in how he has mishandled this thing. For a guy who was supposed to be so politically skilled, he comes off as a lying prick and a loudmouthed jerk. He played this as a real amateur. If the party was expecting any political finesse from this guy, they have certainly been taught that he is NOT...

10. Outstanding! A repug screws up big time and you manage to get in a shot at Hillary!

You are fucking GIFTED!

[Le Taz Hot]

11. Nah,

Hillary makes herself a target. Now, if she ever decides she wants to represent the other 99% of us, I'll be happy to say something nice about her.
