Voters Shocked Christie Botched Such An Easy Political Cover-Up
News in Brief Politics Jan 9, 2014
Man, this guy wants to be President of the United States and he cant even conceal an act of corruption this rinky-dink and run-of-the-mill from voters? Its crazy, Newark resident Carolyn Baum said in agreement with millions of stunned Americans, adding that she holds potential presidential candidates to much higher standards of subterfuge and graft. I mean, this is a total softball.
......At press time, many Americans reported their faith in Christies presidential qualifications was somewhat restored after he released a series of statements pinning the blame on others and throwing top aides under the bus.

That is literally what I've heard and read since this afternoon. WTF???
Onion-level ineptness is on display if after the months of questions, news stories, resignations, etc., he can claim he learned yesterday morning?
The Gov. is shocked to find there is political retribution going on. Round up the usual suspects!
