Long Ago, Chris Christie Lost The Benefit of the Doubt

By Susie Madrak
I've been following Chris Christie for a long time, but not as long as the great bloggers over at Blue Jersey. Since I know how very lazy most reporters are, I'm going to make it as easy as possible for them to move away from the carefully-crafted media adulation of the governor. Hopefully they'll actually look at all this!

Oh, and just let me throw in this tidbit from The Awl's Abe Sauer before I forget:

Easy enough for just about anyone to remember: Lobbyist Chris Christie worked to remove securities fraud from a consumer fraud act on behalf of an organization run by Bernie Madoff.

Now, back to Blue Jersey:

When Chris Christie first ran for Freeholder and was sued for defamation, it wasn't his fault and he did nothing wrong.

When Chris Christie went from "not a candidate for US Attorney" to being appointed US Attorney after he was directly responsible for raising hundreds of thousands (and his brother donates hundreds of thousands) for Bush, the donations had nothing to do with it.

And when many top NJ lawyers pointed out that Christie didn't have any experience in criminal law and his appointment was directly connected to the above hundreds of thousands in donations for Bush, that was just a coincidence.

(but wait....there's more!)Adam L :: Chris Christie has lost the benefit of the doubtWhen Chris Christie suddenly got off the list of US Attorneys to be fired at the same time he issued bogus subpoenas to Senator Menendez weeks before the 2006 election, the timing was just a coincidence and Christie's word should be trusted.

And I've not forgotten ANY of this.

Makes me want to vomit when DU'ers give him accolades. They don't have to live under the summamabeyotch!

And when Chris Christie went the wrong way down a one way street, causing an accident, sending the biker he hit to a trauma center - then didn't get a ticket when he identified himself as US Attorney - he did nothing wrong.
And when Christie was caught in an apparent lie about being sued by that biker, that was just a misunderstanding and he had forgot.

And when Chris Christie was stopped for speeding in an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, only to pull rank and not get a ticket, his position as US Attorney had nothing to do with him being able to leave without his car being towed.
