Are there any pictures of Christie actually "working the cones?"

If he really did this, it was clearly for publicity purposes, leading me to believe he would have had pictures taken. I haven't seen any such pictures, but may have missed them.

He even described what he was wearing. I just have never seen any pictures of him doing this.

He described what he was wearing, and kept implying that if he were in on a scheme, he would not have been working construction on the bridge.

Those comments were made weeks before Christie even acknowledged there was a problem with the lane closures, he made the comments while he was engaging in the cover up.

It is highly unlikely that Christie was ever personally at the scene of the traffic jam, he no doubt knew about it but he almost certainly kept his distance. If photos were to emerge from the scene then he is done for, but I doubt there are any photos it is however likely that other sorts of evidence that will connect him directly to the shut down will emerge.

Also known, in his case, as "being a sarcastic asshole".

Saturday Night Live will have fun with his lying keester. CC is a perfect embodiment of degenerate Scientific Materialist Republicon "values."

And the most incriminating one is this one - He shared a cone with President Obama



The internet has a "coneacopeia" of these types of pics.
