Christie, whose state is hosting the big game Sunday, was twice booed when introduced on Saturday amid the scandal surrounding his administration. Meanwhile, the New Jersey governor reportedly sent an email to supporters ripping David Wildstein, the former Port Authority official claiming Christie knew of the George Washington Bridge lane closures as they happened.

The once-immensely popular New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was booed twice Saturday at a Super Bowl event in Times Square.


It was a tough thing for a Jersey guy to hear: Boos rained down Saturday on Gov. Chris Christie like he was wearing a Tony Romo jersey.

The once-immensely popular Christie, his glow lost to scandal, sat stone-faced as he was razzed in Times Square for a typically upbeat Super Bowl event.

“You made it across the bridge?” howled one heckler as the problem-plagued Christie — in a navy Windbreaker and black scarf — sat impassively on the stage at Broadway and W. 43rd St.

I must admit - in the beginning- I thought Gov. Christie would weather this storm. But now that is looking ever increasingly unlikely

1. Ha ha!

He got what he deserved. Hopefully he'll face a grand jury pretty soon.

12. a video

sounds like a mix

another

14. Christie's whole demeanor has changed.

He was just going through the motions.

[Politicalboi]

2. “You made it across the bridge?”

I bet he was fuming mad at that "idiot".

8. Hey, that "idiot" is my brother-in-law!

Not really.

[Politicalboi]

11. There would be no shame in that

If it were your brother in law. Good on him he got that in there, and Christie was left with NOTHING.

A speechless blowhard.

3. And here I thought that they changed the name to the Weed Bowl.

You know, both teams from the only states that legalized weed... FINALLY!

At any rate, WTG NYC! I would expect no less from you!

5. I'll say this for the people of New York and New Jersey

cross them in such a hideous fashion and they will show no mercy; yes INDEED

[LiberalElite]

13. Thank you!

[Skittles]

22. YEE HAW!

I've always admired the toughness of folk up there - I'd match them with the old blue-haired gals down here

[RKP5637]

20. Yep, coming as a child from that area that is certainly correct. People in that area are

pretty tolerant to many things, but if this is true, they will dump all over him if he did orchestrate this or had selective amnesia it will be seen as disloyalty. I find it interesting to see him getting back some of his loud mouthed bullying tactics thrown back at him. What goes around comes around.

The thing I find crazy about all of this is WTF was the lane closing supposed to accomplish. Only democrats use bridge lanes. This, has to go into the Guinness records of Stupidity.

[Skittles]

21. I have a hard time understanding the bridge thing too

it seems like more than simple overreach - exactly what did these folk think was gonna happen?

[Dopers_Greed]

6. This is a start

Now, all the other Repugs need to get boo'ed on the reg.

[winstars]

7. He should start getting used to it!!! Hey, the Daily News links the Politico story about his email..

ripping Wildstein.

The Politico story is fairly predictable but I swear out of the 1100 comments below the story on Politico, at least 1099 of them for some reason mention:

A guy named Barry???
Some lady named Hillary???
Something called Fast and Furious???
A country called Kenya???
Something about the IRS???
And almost every single one mentions some guy named Ben Gazi??? who dat???

It was weird because I thought the comments were gonna be about the Governor of New Jersey and all his current problems.

Must be those danmed hackers mixing up the comment sections over at Mike Allen's shithole!!!

Thank you very much!!!

[George II]

16. I think that last guy was talking about actor Ben Gazzara

[Botany]

10. “You made it across the bridge?”

So the Governor of a state that shares the busiest bridge in the world which was shut down
on orders from his office did not know about the shut down for 4 days? The people of NYC
and New Jersey are not stupid.

[HockeyMom]

15. That NY/NJ Attitude means

not only dishing it out, but be prepared to TAKE IT too!

17. Here's the New York Times article on Christie

EXCLUSIVE: CHRIS CHRISTIE ATTACKS NEW YORK TIMES, DAVID WILDSTEIN

Take a look at reply #14 (Karma)...It has a little tape loop that's hilarious!

18. Seattle plans to use the Chris Christie defense against Denver ...

Seattle plans to use the Chris Christie defense against Denver ... shutting down passing lanes.

19. When It Was Just The GWB I Thought He Would Probably Weather It

But when Zimmer stepped forward with not just charges but documentation to back them up Christie then faced an uphill battle. This latest from Wildstein's attorney just adds to his task.

[malaise]

23. Bwaaaaaaaaaaah - I love New Yorkers

Bullies never handle their fall well.
The thing is Christie knows that he knew and he knows he'll be caught on at least one of his scandals.
It's hard to remain upbeat given what's coming.
