last Christie apologist folds

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/02/10/1276650/-Christie-s-Last-Apologist-Folds?detail=facebook

?1392091354

The question for weeks hasn't been will Christie run for President, rather when will he resign and can he stay out of prison.

Throughout this scandal, Christie's strongest apologists have been Morning Blow's news team of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

These two had been tireless promoters of Christie, attacking every outlet reporting straight news on the scandal, attacking viewers on Twitter, attacking their own employers (MSNBC), at one point, even calling Bridgegate a left wing Benghazi (ie fake scandal). This morning they folded, and they're now they're calling Christie a liar.

Because I'm almost on the floor laughing at that Oh sweet Jebus.
Those two have no credibility anyway.

Last pic...anyone else see that "sorry it didn't work out" consolidation pat he is getting from some unknown GOP suit's left arm?

Welcome to the business, kid.

Every Sunday talk show defended him as golden. The tarnish is suddenly too brazen to conceal.

Christie knows he's toast too. Just look at his sourpuss in those pics from from the Times Square Superbowl rally. He's less popular than a person with BO and a fatal allergy to deodorant.

His fellow Republicans are putting their distances away from Christie. These last two pictures are very compelling and worth billion of words.

be careful. Guys like this are more dangerous the tighter the rope gets. He is not to be taken lightly (sorry about that); he's nearly cornered and he will strike out like a cobra for anyone and anything. But the US attorney knows this, so it should get really interesting now.

Glad you're here! I totally agree with you on the cornered snake. When they're cornered, they get really vicious. Desperation will do that to you, especially when you've made your bones playing rough, and it starts coming back to bite you. He's really pinned at this point because his vindictive shit has been exposed, so it's a lot harder to "get shit done" now. Especially since some of his key operatives are severely hobbled (fired, quit, scrambling for hiding places, facing prosecution, lawyering up, pleading the 5th, and under SEVERE scrutiny). These vipers and cockroaches always operate better in the dark - in the shadows and under cover where nobody can see what they're up to. When you're shining some rather harsh and continuous spotlights on 'em, they're screwed.

...if he could change pictures with Joe. Or if he was posing like Mika. You know, do something provocative with his legs that'll make the other governors like him more.

Mika looks like she was pulled over by Christie right before the shutter clicked. She looks like she's saying to herself: ''Oh shit he's so soft!! Yeck!!!'' - Ha!!!
