TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - The chairman of a New Jersey legislative committee looking into the role Gov. Chris Christie's administration played in an apparently politically motivated traffic jam is defending his role after criticism from a Christie ally.
Democratic Assemblyman John Wisniewski said Sunday on CBS'"Face the Nation" that he has not prejudged the case, but he does have doubts about the timeline the Republican governor has given about what he knew and when.
Also on the show, former New York City Republican Mayor Rudy Giuliani questioned Wisniewski's role, saying he has his mind made up already. Giuliani says he shouldn't be running the investigation.
The committee is looking into lane closures near the George Washington Bridge in September that appears to have been created as political retribution against a Democratic mayor.

= new reply since forum marked as read
The governor was booed at a Super Bowl event in Times Square on Saturday, where he sat on stage with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona and Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York.
While the other three beamed and waved, Mr. Christie looked down. Mr. de Blasio sat next to Mr. Cuomo and punched him playfully throughout the ceremony, and the two giggled.
Ms. Brewer seemed to try to cheer up Mr. Christie. At ceremony’s end, reporters pushed toward the stage and Mr. Christie stepped to the back. When coaxed to the front by Ms. Brewer to pose for a photo, reporters asked Mr. Christie a barrage of questions.
“Governor,” one shouted, “any truth to the allegations?”
Mr. Christie said nothing and walked off the stage behind a giant speaker blaring Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.”

Christie sucks, and his STUPENDOUS SUCKAGE makes it plain that the whole freaking Republicon party is corrupt, deceitful, poisonously negative, bereft of any workable ideas, grabby greedy, fully phony and skankyass bullies.
The truth hurts, and republicons -- specialists in fear and loathing -- are necessarily in Full Whine Mode since great greasy gobs O' truth are sticking to them.
