I find his obesity disturbing.

Thank you for posting that, as we were discussing his weight gain at my house on Saturday.

I won't destroy it with a spoiler, so if you are curious about the possible cause of Christie's weight gain, you just might find a clue in these photographs.

...that journalism is still alive and has a brain. TPM has some of the best reporters out there.

And I'll beat the shit out of anyone anywhere who says different. So THERE!!!!

That actually undercuts Christie because he previously said that because he was a high school jock he didn't travel in the same circles as Wildstein and suddenly he remembers this about Wildstein from over 30 years ago. Then he actually hired him for an important position in spite of knowing about past "deceptive behavior". Really.

I was just surfing the site without logging in to kill time... I just had to log in when I saw this comment to reply! LOL!

when I heard that comment!

Christie is using high school incidents

Social Studies Teacher accusing him of "deception"

What the hell is this? Christie uses some incident in high school, maybe 25/30 years , to attack someone?
Who wrote this ??

Think about this..What will the leaders of the Republican Party think of this kind of defense?
I am talking about the so called "intelligent" leaders..(there might be one or two) maybe.
Marshall is correct. Christie is in much worse shape then people know to write this or approve this crap.
Good. He deserves what he has sowed....

why did Christie put him in such a powerful position at the Port Authority?

specifically for Wildstein.

(CNN) -- Give him a position at the top of the agency; he's a good friend of the governor.

That's how David Wildstein was introduced to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2010, according to a former employee with extensive knowledge of the agency's hiring practices.

Soon after, Wildstein was named the director of Interstate Capital Projects, a title that previously had not existed at the bi-state agency, setting in motion a career that would eventually place the former political blogger at the center of the lane closures controversy at the George Washington Bridge.

Begs the question, is Christie corrupt, incompetent or both.

and 150k per year to boot!

Making "sleazy guy was 'governor's eyes and ears at the Port Authority'" Christie's message is problematic to say the least.

just so use to people buying his bullshit that he forgot it's not selling anymore?

...Christie seems to know all about these horrible things Wildstein did. Yet he appointed him to a powerful Port Authority position.

Go home Christie, you're drunk.

Christie is cornered and he's grasping at straws. He'll say and do anything at this juncture to save his political career.

He looks disciplined, and has a record as such

in 4th grade

Christie skipped cooking class in school or he would know that his goose is done.

Jeez! That one is for the record books!

(Come to think of it, since Christie knew Wildstein in High School, he probably put him up to whatever he did that the teacher was complaining about.)

CYA, for the uninitiated, means "Cover Your Ass."

Unfortunately for Governor Christie, this will entail attending to some considerable terrain.............

I came home and barfed -prodigiously- in a pair of my mom's shoes.

I'm not particularly proud of that moment, but should I ever pursue a career in politics I can't fathom how it would be relevant.

this only shows me in caps that christie is panicking.

Christie is coming off as being very weak and powerless

Even if Christie believes he is lying.

There are still many unanswered questions surrounding Wildstein's involvement in the infamous Stolen Cookie Incident at Snacktime...
