3. It's a pity that Hoboken doesn't figure in to the whole scandal.

Hoboken's Heroes

nice photoshop job

5. Awesome!

You are right - that would really amp it up. I suspect there are a lot of younger DU'ers though that have NO IDEA whatsoever what this is in the OP! :laugh:

For them - I'm 40 but watched this in reruns on base (then West Germany) and in the states as a little kid. . . it's a hoot! And even Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii got the jokes at 4/5 years of age.

9. My sympathy goes out to you

for him being your mayor.

[Beacool]

11. He's the governor.

My mayor is a cool woman who refused to endorse him. Christie paid back the city (almost 80% had been under water after Sandy) by giving the town 1% of the requested relief funds ($300K out of $100M).

Isn't he a charmer?

[davidpdx]

12. Yes, that's what I meant

and what I get for not thinking and typing at the same time.

Yeah, he is. After listening to Maddow's Monday night show I suspect he's going to go down. Haven't watched last night's yet. Since it's pile on Christie all the time it certainly will be interesting.

13. Chris Hayes started his program talking about Hoboken.

He expanded on what Rachel had talked about yesterday. They had images of the town and Christie meeting with locals and with the mayor. On the phone mayor Zimmer said that she had been angry that the city had gotten so little money for the recovery. At the time she didn't think that it was retribution for not endorsing him, but that now she and other mayors were having second thoughts. The mayor of Jersey City had all his meetings with several Christie people canceled the minute he decided not to endorse him.

[davidpdx]

14. That's what I thought was really interesting about Rachel's show

The tie between the cancellation of the meetings in Jersey City and then the text message from that asshole that said the mayor was the second lowest on their list.

15. This is political payback of the first order.

I hope that the federal probe finds him guilty of something.

[davidpdx]

16. Speaking of probing

Federal prison would have a nice ring to it. Possible presidential candidate to federal inmate. Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

[Beacool]

17. We'll see.

Let's not jump too far ahead of events.

4. He's a lawyer. Watch him slide.
