More has already followed, and it's not even tomorrow. Also, Congressman Balconythrower is one of CC's biggest defenders. . This could be terribly serious... misuse of federal funds and all TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie helped channel $6 million in federal Hurricane Sandy recovery dollars to a project conceived years before the storm struck, in an Essex County town that was not particularly hard hit, records show. The funding, pushed for personally by the Republican governor, was announced less than two weeks before the town’s Democratic mayor formally endorsed him for reelection. The development is an $18 million senior center and housing complex in Belleville called Franklin Manor. One third of the cost — $6 million — is being paid for by a $1.8 billion pot of federally funded Community Development Block Grants to help the state recover from Sandy. nj.com Not content with merely spewing post-SOTU wingnuttery like his fellow Republicans, Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) physically threatened a local reporter last night when he tried to question Grimm about the campaign-finance questions dogging his campaign — including, but not limited to, a contributor’s accusation that Grimm took envelopes full of tens of thousands of dollars in cash. In the exchange, caught on camera, Grimm, who represents Staten Island and part of Brooklyn, threatened to break Michael Scotto in half and throw him off the balcony. Small wonder Grimm is also one of Chris Christie’s few defenders. Watch it here: craigcrawford.com

It is gratifying to see MSNBC delving into the entire story while CNN and FOX follow Justin Bieber. They are systematically unraveling the criminal behavior. It looks like Christy had a criminal web that spanned the entire state. It is funny, but emotionally seeing Blago go to jail some how didn't much matter to me. But if they put Christy in jail I will finally feel some sense of justice. These dirty politicians and plutocrats who are a cancer in our society need to go to jail. And the victimless inmates let out.
