You can't go out go out and create scandals- you have to wait for them to come to you. Good things come to those that weight (sic).

“I have had no contact with David Wildstein in a long time, a long time, well before the election,”
Sounds a lot like "I did not have sex with that Monica woman"

Christie Appeared During Lane Closures With Official Who Ordered Them

Eric Lach – January 14, 2014, 11:49 AM EST | 4335

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and the former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive who ordered the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in September were together on the third day of the closures, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

The former official, David Wildstein, was part of a delegation that welcomed the governor to the site of the the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 for a commemoration on the 12th anniversary of the attacks. The lane closures began on Sept. 9.

Also part of the delegation were Bill Baroni, another former executive at the Port Authority, and David Samson, the Port Authority chairman. Both Wildstein and Baroni announced their resignations from the Port Authority after Democrats in New Jersey began asking questions about possible political motives for the lane closures.

Photographs obtained by the Wall Street Journal show Christie standing next to Wildstein on Sept. 11.

As the Journal pointed out, Christie said at a press conference last week that he had not had contact with Wildstein “in a long time.”

“I have had no contact with David Wildstein in a long time, a long time, well before the election,” Christie said. “You know, I could probably count on one hand the number of conversations I’ve had with David since he worked at the Port Authority. I did not interact with David.”

Dave, the vast majority of Americans don't GET their news from cable.

money.msn.com

"That may be giving some Fox News executives their own gray hairs. The network's median age has edged above 65 for six of the past eight years, The New York Times' Bill Carter reports. It's impossible to know exactly how old Fox News' audience is, because ratings company Nielsen doesn't provide an exact figure once viewers are older than 65.

At the same time, viewers in the 25-to-54 age group have been dwindling. The network shed 11% of its younger viewers in the second quarter.

That's a bad sign for any network, but it's especially worrying for a news channel, where advertisers buy programs based on the number of viewers who are 25 to 54. (Most entertainment channels use the slightly younger 18-49 demographic as a yardstick.)

"The numbers indicate they haven't been replacing the younger viewers," cable analyst Craig Moffett, who runs Moffett Research, told the Times. "

Fox "News" is the network for Republican geezers.
