Krauthammer Thinks Christie Could Be 'Toast'...

Krauthammer Thinks Christie Could Be 'Toast' (VIDEO)

The potential political fallout from the George Washington Bridge scandal is really quite straightforward, according to conservative idol Charles Krauthammer.

"Well, look, I think this is not rocket science," Krauthammer declared Thursday on Fox News. "Christie is now hostage to the truth. If he told the truth and he had no knowledge of this, it will hurt him. If he didn't tell the truth — and we will know it for sure, one way or the other — if he did know about this, he's toast. It's rather simple."

Krauthammer, revered by Republicans and conservatives, said that Christie's professed ignorance to the lane closures on the bridge could still damage him — although not fatally.

“Christie’s strength is how tough he is, but it can become a negative if the toughness is a petty toughness,” he said.

Sometimes he sounds more emphatic as he says nothing.

"Krauthammer adds nothing to any discussion, ever."

...to take pleasure in Republicans acknowledging the real damage to Christie?

Lindsey Graham throws bridge troll Christie under a bus.

Graham is useless too, but I'm definitely enjoying it, especially after Christie tried to play the innocent victim.

Krauthammer may contribute less than nothing to our discourse, but his job is to pretend to lend gravitas to the plutocrats' agenda. That he can't work himself into a decision one way or the other in this video is still a sign of a crumbling facade that we can all enjoy.
