sounds like the reTHUGS are rallying around the governor...the party of no ethics or moral code

[spanone]

they truly are pathetic

[malaise]

1. Yep when hack Gregory was able to tear Preibus a new one

it's clearly protect the ReTHUG time.
What disturbed me was that hack Gregory allowed them to raise the iRS, Benghazi and Obamacare as red herrings.

Why are we surprised at the rot that poses as the corporate media.

[Blue Owl]

2. Corporot media, indeed

[spanone]

3. they hate christie, but they hate Obama more....so there you go

hearing preibus talk about 'americans are forgiving people' made me want to

[Cha]

15. Gawd they're so full of

freaking bull$hit!

rince wishes everyone would just roll over and forgive the Bully for unspeakable acts but I think the Dems in New Jersey have other better ideas!

[arthritisR_US]

10. My hats off to you and my appreciation for doing

what I couldn't! Looks like nothing has changed with twinkle toes lock jaw

[justgamma]

4. Rally around him.

Of course they will. This is just the kind of person they celebrate.

[malaise]

6. Notice that noun verb and 9/11 has reframed his position

He's added that 'if he knew' caveat

[Lint Head]

9. Murder and torture is OK with the GOP so what's a little bridge scam.

[Quixote1818]

11. Not the Tea Party, they hate Christie

Even this ass hole is too "liberal" for them.

[Fumesucker]

12. Of course they have a moral code.. IOKIYAR n/t

[jimlup]

14. Correction ... their "ethics and morals"

for everyone else but certainly not for them.

16. Look for astroturfing in the paper.

I offer this one from an OS reader:

Actually I sort of like Chris Christie. He comes across as petty and bullying, but that is part of his brand. At least his "brand" also has a history of fighting against corruption. Being mean-spirited doesn't really hurt you that bad if you have the right enemies. This particular vendetta was wrong, but some of the others were not.

This issue will die down, and soon be forgotten. I would much prefer the Sentinel focus on issues that relate to our lives in a more direct way. Where does he stand, for example, on womens rights? Or the war in Afghanistan, for example.

Immigration? Income inequality? Healthcare? Domestic spying? Bank bailouts? Federal Reserve policies? Someone who reads newspapers could be forgiven for not knowing where Christie actually stands on the issues.

By concentrating on a single mistake, we polarize the nation into people who are either "for" or "against" the person, without any understanding as to what he might be able to do for (or against) the country

19. 'fighting corruption'??????? bwahahahahahaaa

this is fighting corruption???

and the reader likes his petty and bullying brand?????

[Baitball Blogger]

20. I know, right?

Unless the only answer in our country is that their scummy, corrupt bastards slow down our scummy corrupt bastards?

I don't know. But it sounds like that's what that reader is trying to suggest.

18. The Rethugs dumped their best candidate in 2012 with Jon Huntsman. With Bachmann

Santorum, Gringrich, Paul and Perry and they chose Romney. WTH. With Cruz and Rubio already lining up on the radical right, I would expect Scott Walker to be in along with Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal and Sarah Palin. I do not at this point see how Christie will get through the primaries. If he comes out of bridgegate without too many injuries and the GOP decides they are kicking the rascals out and seriously going to try to win the presidency, then Christie might get the opportunity.
