Christie sounds like another Republican with the attitude of W. I'll do what I want, and you can't stop me. Kinda like the last 8 years!

Christie is a crook who needs to be prosecuted in court not in Congress. We need to prosecute those responsible in Criminal Bush's criminal no-bid contract scam, especially the few bad apples who used to stink up the White House. We can only hope the voters of NJ just say no to this criminal and reelect Corzine.

It is so wonderful that Adulterer Sanford has become a pariah to the repugnant ones but that's what they deserve for being so crooked for so many decades.

Prosecute Christie!

It's surprising the chaos in NY state hasn't been covered much, either here, or by the national media. Democrats locking Republicans out of the state house, refusing to say the Pledge of Alligence, personal attacks flying around from both sides.

Ahh, yes, just another day in government. And many want these clowns to run our health care. Interesting. Very interesting.

New Jersey politics at it's finest. There are no Republicans. There are no Democrats. Just crooks.

Off topic

Sorry to hear about Michael Jackson's death but I'm getting tired of the coverage. It's 24/7 and they keep repeating what we already know.

Another reason to play some golf.

What an amazing coincidence that Congress had time to take up the Christie situation now. I wonder if he were a 13-point underdog instead of a 13-pt favorite over Corzine if they'd bother.
Perhaps they should apply the same aggression toward investigating Murtha and Rangel.

Frank Pallone is an idiot.

Trying to make political hay from a program he introduced and endorsed during the Clinton administration in order to score points for Corzine is only the latest of his antics.

This program he now claims is somehow unethical was institued as a 'pre-trial intervention', such as the one for non-violent first offenders. It protects the innocent victims of white collar crime-the employees and stockholders of the accused company. The moniters of these companies are lawfirms, and they oversee the actions of the companies to ensure compliance with the law. The accused company pays fines and restitution to the government, and PAYS THE MONITORS out of their own funds. Thus, the taxpayers actually get a net gain from the company.

To bring up a campaign donation, given SEVEN YEARS after one firm was appointed to monitor a corporation is simply ludicrous.

Of course, the idiots who live in Pallone's district will never vote him out of office. I doubt many of them ever watch C-span. If they did, it might be another matter.

It's so patently obvious that power corrupts and that politicians w/ money are even more so. We the people again are subjected to the Gop praising Christie and the Dems condemning him. We all have heard this scenario time and time again; however; we the voters keep allowing ourselves to be taken for the fools/ignorant masses they know we are. We are like Pavlov's dog when it comes to partisan politics, us vs them and high school football team rivalries.

The list of Bush/Cheney's fraud against the taxpayer grows daily. If this guy is guilty, which seems likely, I hope he gets sent away for years. What a lame excuse, for the good of the public, give millions to friends. What about all those small businesses the GOP talks about supporting, and free market. "Worse than Watergate" was full of shady, borderline, and out right illegal activities of the Bush and Cheney--things that needed investigation but never were because the republican controlled congress ignored them. After awhile, you become numb from the corruption.

I am just astounded.

So "Senator" Kevin Parker is under indictment for assault, refuses to work, complains about pay raises, and has the GALL to insult the governor on the floor of the chamber?!

Keep up the pressure, Gov, it seems you are the only sane mind in Albany these days.

Trent Franks (R-AZ), with an "s". I'm certain he wouldn't want to be confused with Barney Frank (any more than he likely already is), nor Frank with Franks.

Somehow I think your story would change then. — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:17:55 GMT

Obama just pushed out a stimulus bill 6 months ago worth around $800 BILLION, and no one knows what happened to that money (It was supposed to create jobs, right?), and congress is now diddling around trying to find out what happened to $50 MILLION dollars?

Way to obfuscate! The **big** difference is, many states have yet to accept their money, or have yet to implement it. Either way, is there something illegal going on with the stimulus that you would like to point out to the masses? Otherwise, it has no bearing on the investigation into whether Christe's actions were illegal or not.

Are you really saying that we shouldn't be investigating illegal activities at this juncture? I wonder if you would say the same if Christie were Democrat.
