Christie's office doubling down and saying Mayor Zimmer's allegations are "outlandishly false." This is going to get so so ugly.

Id be more than willing to testify under oath and and answer any questions and provide any documents, take a lie detector test, Zimmer said, referring to the Christie administrations denials. And, you know, my question back to them is, Would all of you? Would all of you be willing do that same thing, to testify under oath, to take a lie detector test?

(1,451 posts)The city was 80% under water. Less than half a million dollars wouldn't pay for the cleanup. Let alone rebuilding or shoring up city infrastructure. This did not take a rocket scientist or a mathematician to decipher this one. Christie is used to dealing with the insulation of his inner circle. He is the General barking out the orders. And they are his loyal soldiers. But I think that he will have to soon fly his flag upside down.

Sandy money goes to friends of Christie. All others, bend over.

(295,909 posts)have come out before but now it good too. In fact it would seem to be the perfect time since a pattern of abuse has been established. It's not as if she has their threats on tape, either. Even though I'm sure she appreciates that she wrote it in her diary. If I kept a diary I would thint that was worthy enough for an entry!
