| Gov. Christie´s celebrity star keeps rising higher. Three days after he did a not-half-bad bit on Saturday Night Live´s "Weekend Update," it emerged that Christie has landed a spot on Barbara Walters´ list of the "10 Most Fascinating People" of 2012. Walters went to the State House in Trenton on Tuesday to interview the governor and his wife, Mary Pat, for the 90-minute ABC special, to air Dec. 12. The news that Christie made Walters´ cut came on the same day the New York Times reported he has been busy trying to heal a rift

Now all he needs to do to be a viable Presidential candidate is switch to the Democratic Party.

There´s no ´rift´ because he´s no Republican.

WOW! The fat sss Gov of NJ is obviosly able to rise above it all, whatever it all is. So Barbara Wawa thinks he´s a half dozen things, certainly not enough to get around his belly. GO FOR IT BIG BOY; BUT WHERE I´M FROM , JCNJ, WE GROW UP TO BE BIG MEN.

Somehow the image of Christie “landing” on something doesn’t seem to bode well for the target.
Guess it doesn’t take much to get in the good graces of the yellow press, does it? Just a great big hug and photo op with the man in bomber jacket and mom jeans and you’re in.

I´m reminded of the Austin Powers movie - I forget which of the three it was - when austin´s spy girlfriend is assigned the task of placing a tracking device on Fat Bast*rd´s body, and to do that (the assignment came from Michael York) the spy girlfriend goes to bed with Fat Bast*rd and plants the device, during coitus. And when Austin Powers finds out, he says to her, "How could you do it??" And the girlfriend responds that it was her assignment, to do it by any means necessary. And Austin Powers then says, with a puzzled look on his face, "No! Really! How could you DO it??"

It´s like a parent rewarding a child for what is considered *good* behavior. Christie craves the media attention, and Babwa is willing to dole it out---as long as El Gordo has come around and sees the light. Pubbie pols should turn the tables on the *media* instead, and refuse to grant interviews unless the *media* has proven to be objective.

Another Republican sells his soul for a mess of pottage. He should ask McCain how fast the press can turn on you if you are a Republican. Of course, if he becomes the Democrat he is in his heart, the press will no longer be interested in him. There are lots of Democrats they like better.

I don´t care if the media wraps him up and puts a pretty bow on his head, I will not vote for Christie because I can´t TRUST him.
Also, I am also more than troubled by the autopsies done by Gov. Romney´s "supporters" after the election. If you have constructive criticism, give it privately. We don´t have to gleefully eat our own. Another thing, can we please stop the electioneering already! Good grief, this is like the widow eyeing her next victim at her husband´s funeral. Give it a rest. Sorry about the off topic rant.

Christie is just another suck-up RINO with dreams of being the republican whom the media will love through the 2016 campaign. When campaigning gets going in earnest he´ll get McCained and thrown under the bus. On the plus side, the back wheels of the bus won´t be able to move over his fat carcass.
He should be on the most Fantasizing List.

Christie did a good job on his first budget. That´s about all I will say for him. For Walters, I have never understood why anyone is impressed by her. She has never broken a big story. She has a speech impediment. She doesn´t do in depth interviews (asking celebrities which TREE they would be doesn´t count). She is to blame for every atrocity on that noisome The View.

The suckup editorials and articles in the most read newspapers and magazines. And boy do they know it. Once they see that they´ve hooked the big tuna, they start reeling him in.

#9 nailed it Big Time! The Dems think they´ve chosen our next candidate!
I saw the coverage of Christie and the little girl in the pic. I also saw him with Obie and another lady in tears. BOTH TIMES he looked and saw that a camera was focused in on him and he immediately took the girl/woman by the shoulders, got real close and looked really concerned and cared as if his life depended on it. Blech and Ptschaw!
You want optics? He´ll do optics - just get a wide angled lense. (I know, I shouldn´t have gone there. I´m just so damned dissapointed in him after seeing him stand up to the teachers union.) He´s done/fork etc.

Chris is great fun, able to be articulate and seemingly plain talking...as he tells the truth and solves problems He gives off a sense of rare honesty not found in the privileged electeds. BUT, he HAS to stick to business. Watching him arm in arm with the ragig dictator was a sickening experience. Chris, thinking he is now a full fledged celebrity, will no longer be an effective manager.

Meet the Women for Weiner. The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist. The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

News reports from the final debate between Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez conclude that Gomez, a first-time candidate and self-styled "new kind of Republican," delivered a strong performance. With just days left in the campaign before the June 25 special election for Senate, Gomez has trailed Markey, a 37-year veteran of the House, in every single poll. Markey currently leads by average of more than 9 points. But in the debate Tuesday night, Gomez hit Markey hard on the Democrat´s long Washington tenure, a running theme in the Republican´s campaign.

The Obama administration has reportedly tried to enlist the NBA in helping it sell Obamacare to the American people. It’s unclear whether a potential marketing partnership would put big-name players at the center of ad campaigns or if it would be as simple as putting the NBA trademark on marketing materials, Politico first reported today. People can begin signing up for Obamacare in October, with the new insurance coverage kicking in next year. Many have speculated that the enrollment campaigns would benefit from a celebrity endorsement or partnership with a major sports league.

Guides have dropped "God" from their Girl Guides´ Promise. In a multicultural and individualist age, the thinking goes, the movement should pledge "to be true to myself and develop my beliefs". None of that guff about God and country. It´s now all about "Me" and the anything goes spirituality. Hindu, Druid, New Ager, Muslim, Christian: everything´s the same these days. We´ve seen it elsewhere. Druids and Christians are accorded equal rights in the workplace: when a Druid employee, say, wants time off to go to Stonehenge for the Solstice, the boss must treat her the same

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
