4. Thanks. It's

worth watching the Chris Hayes segment. He mentions the Democratic Mayor of Jersey City (Steven Fulop) who refused to endorse Christie and was mentioned in the documents.

Which is why this is interesting: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024304443#post3

Christie Can't Guarantee Political Retribution Limited To Bridge Scandal

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said Thursday that he can't guarantee lane closures on the George Washington Bridge were the only acts of political retribution carried out by his aides.

Responding to a reporter who asked whether he is "confident" the revenge tactic didn't go beyond the lane closures, Christie said he wouldn't guarantee that, based on his experience fielding the bridge scandal over the past few months.

"I don't have any evidence before me as we speak that it went beyond this incident, but I can't tell you that I know that for sure as to every aspect of everything," he said in a press conference. "Now I have to be much more circumspect to that. Prior to yesterday, I believed that if I looked someone in the eye who I worked with and trusted, and asked them, that I would get an honest answer. Maybe that was naive, but that's what I believed. So now I'm going and digging in and asking more questions, but I can't make a warranty on that."

"I won't," he added. "When I did that four weeks ago, I wound up being wrong."

Shorter: I'm incompetent and naive.

These are your top aides asshole.

6. Yup, and

as I mentioned in a previous comment: It's worth watching the Chris Hayes segment. He mentions the Democratic Mayor of Jersey City (Steven Fulop) who also refused to endorse Christie and was mentioned in the documents.

7. More BS

Christie: 'Mistakes Were Made' In Hiring Aides

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Thursday admitted that he made hiring mistakes, after documents published Wednesday linked some of his top aides and appointees to lane closures on the George Washington Bridge last year.

"Listen, the fact is that mistakes were made, and I'm responsible for those mistakes. I obviously try every chance I can to hire the very best people," he said in a press conference. "Mistakes were made, and I remediated those mistakes by the actions I have taken."

Christie defended his hiring practices in general, stating that he works hard to hire the best people possible to work for him.

"I think the history of this administration shows that we have hired outstanding people with great ethical standards, who have done their jobs extraordinarily well. In a government of 65,000 people there are going to be times when mistakes are made," he said. "I'm in a constant state of trying to figure out who are the best people for individual jobs, who will make me proud to have put them there. That's always going on."

So his top aides are like "family," but he's equating them to the entire "government"?

I mean, he's admitted to being incompentent and naive (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024304443#post3), and now a poor judge of character.
