1. Bagman for Bernie Madoff. Isn't that enough?

[corkhead]

2. I wonder if they mentioned the long term relationships he has had

with Betty Crocker, Dolly Madison, Sara Lee, and even Little Debbie

10. Don't forget Hostess

Twinkies and Hoho's.

3. "There also is a rumor that he did some shaddy shit on Wall St."

"Shaddy"? Sounds like the unholy spawn of Shitty and Shady!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

[polichick]

4. We need a word that combines shitty and shady...

very useful in a political world!

[whathehell]

5. Indeed

and shaddy, I'd say, works nicelyl

6. Here's to Christie.

7. An extra-marital affair with Christe? Really?

Wall Street I can get. But an affair?

Really, I think it would take a really strong stomach or really bad eyesight for any woman to have a relationship with this guy. I can't see him being attractive to anyone outside of repuke insiders. He is a badass and always has been. I wouldn't trust him for 5 seconds...

8. I had the same thought

it wouldn't be damaging.

[TBF]

12. Revolting -

and it doesn't surprise me in the least that his current wife is an investment banker herself ... birds of a feather and all of that.

[AArmstrong]

9. Yeah, well, ordering one of each off of the Taco Hell menu will give you landmines.

11. Or indigestion at the very least.

13. Shocked, no. My adopted state has a well-deserved reputation for crooked politicians.

When the FBI did a corruption probe a few years ago, they had to hire a bus to bring the suspects to court. It was a veritable rainbow coalition of crooks, Republicans, Democrats, Black, White and Hispanic all united in their willingness to take money and favors in exchange for greasing the skids for their donors.

It's a rare NJ politician whose hands are totally clean. That the most successful Republican pol in recent memory would have problems is no surprise.
