Watching Kornacki now. More on NJ politics.

Been talking about the backstory on McGreevey's resignation nd Christie's role in it. Ugh. Texas doesn't have sole ownership of political ugliness or corruption. I couldn't even begin to summarize the machinations Christie undertook to get McGreevey out.

During Sandy. Has house on shore line and so knows shore suffered with storm surge. Hoboken had only flooding. Tries to say money disbursement ongoing. Really tried to say damage was on shore not Hoboken, even media knows this because media showed shore, did not show Hoboken. He did not even sound like he believed his own words.

Others disagreed. I have family in Hoboken. Spoke to them during sandy, and followed mayor and others on twitter during sandy. Was huge delay in getting national guard into Hoboken. Real damage ther. Not minimizing other damage, just saying Hoboken damage was severe.
