Don't miss Rachel Maddow tonight

[malaise]

She's going to give you the entire timeline of Christie's bridge over troubling lies.

[babylonsister]

1. Everybody's Doin' It...

Matthews is on a roll now. But Rachel is always worth watching.

[malaise]

2. Skulldugery says Tweety

Corn says maybe a criminal investigation

Holy shite - I'm lovin' this

[Cha]

3. It should bloody well be a "criminal investigation".. it was

Reckless Endangerment at the very least.

[HipChick]

4. I'm not going to lie

I've been hooting and hollering all day..

[malaise]

6. What a great start to the New Year

I knew this had legs from Rachel first discussed it. They tried to cover it up - the real problem here is that they are rank amateurs. They should have realized one that the Dems control the legislature and two that the GWB is also controlled by New York.

Haven't laughed this much about US politics since the November elections in 2012.

Watching him blow up is priceless

[Warpy]

28. Even if he successfully puts the blame on his staff

that will wreck his chance at a presidential run by depleting his organization of loyalists.

He'd lose weight on prison chow, though, and that might be the best thing in the world for that man.

[malaise]

54. Just wait for the new emails coming any time now

Butter please.

Work is that RW ReTHUGs were waiting for this moment.

[tulsakatz]

52. it's fun, isn't it?

I love it when Rachel ends a segment by saying 'watch this space' because it means there is more to come.

[2naSalit]

53. Brainiacs, eh?

I hope this is an omen for the exposure of the mentality and evil intent of the GOP! I hope they are all exposed in similar ways, publicly and most embarrassingly. They need to learn humiliation the hard way.

[mucifer]

5. I bet in a year no one will remember it. Americans have a very short

attention span.

[malaise]

7. Tweety, Alter and Corn said the investigations (state and federal) will last at least

two years and will give all a good look at the inner working of the Christie administration.

Tweety has already eliminated him - he's on to NEXT

[justiceischeap]

8. Yes, but imagine the ads if he were to become the Presidential

nominee? It may die a slow death in the immediate future but stuff like this lives forever in media files.

[lindysalsagal]

56. Especially with all this angry video of Christie attacking constituents at town hall meetings.

It's gonna be so easy to trash Christie, its almost not fair!

[rurallib]

9. Does Maddow deserve credit for shining the big light on this story?

However it evolved way to go liberal press!

[malaise]

10. Some Jersey papers, NYT and Washington Post as well

Rachel was the first on TV.
Can't wait for her program tonight.

[HipChick]

15. Going to have to stay up to see what the The Daily Show does with it..

Jon must be smiling from ear to ear with this story..

[rustydog]

11. "...Like a bridge over troubled blather, it will bring me down!"

Like a bridge over my troubled blather, it will bring me downnnnnnn."

Sorry Simon and Garfunkel, da Devil made me do it.

[malaise]

12. DUzy

or 'Don't you burn your bridges behind you'

Mark Sokolich, the mayor who was targeted is on Chris Hayes.

I'm lovin' this

[watoos]

13. Ruh Roh

Larry Kudlow just threw Christie under the bridge. The establishment Repubs don't want Christie, so it seems.

[malaise]

17. They were pissed after he walked with Obama just before the elections

I think ReTHUGs will happily throw him over the bridge.

[RoverSuswade]

38. That will be large order!

It will take all the registered republicans in Fort Lee.

[malaise]

41. And then some

Welcome to DU

[kydo]

14. I never miss Rachel

She probably the best tv news person on the planet.

[xxqqqzme]

16. Damn!

Have a Dem district meeting @ 6. I'll have to catch the re-run @ 9.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. Chris Hayes did the same thing tonight. His reporting has been nothing short of stellar!

[malaise]

19. The interview with Mayor Sokolich was fabulous

His program has improved but I still miss KO.

[winstars]

20. Mayor: "David Wildstein needs an ass kicking!!!" PRICELESS... nt

[mstinamotorcity2]

21. There you go again!!!

going old school. KO, I miss him. Told somebody the other day miss David Shuster too. I think I'm going to you know how emotional II get.

[malaise]

26. Don't miss Shuster like KO

but he was pretty good.

[ancianita]

22. This is exactly the time we need the detailed background. This needs to spark a major investigation.

[ancianita]

23. Aaaaand here she goes! From the angle of Jersey commuting! This will be awesome!

[babylonsister]

24. Burn!!! nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. But, but, but, it was just a local traffic news story

nothing to see here... so I have been told.

Don't worry...

[malaise]

27. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Too good - Rachel is on

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. I know, sometimes local stories

go big. But these days, I just stick to my own buddies locally.

That was one hell of a traffic reporter though. I know a few here, and they would not have asked that question that got that ball rolling. Me, Public Records request are just lovely with the morning coffee.

[malaise]

31. Yep this was one local traffic story with huge consequences

Interview coming up.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. And it affected the same number of peeps that one I dealt with here locally

not that my local story would have that political effect.

No worries, for those who insist that no local story matters, they can read it on CNN, or MSNBC.

[spanone]

30. k&r.....

it's christiemas all over!!!!

bwahahahahahahaaaaa

[malaise]

33. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah - DUzy

I'm lovin' it

[Mr.Bill]

32. I'm sure over at Fox News...

they are talking about Benghazi.

[malaise]

36. But everyone is watching this

Assemblyman John Wisniewski on now

[H2O Man]

35. Hope to see it

on replay later tonight (my youngest daughter is playing basketball tonight!).

[malaise]

37. You can also watch on Rachel's website about an hour after the show

Enjoy the game.

[malaise]

43. Here's everything

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. thanks for the link. I wish that Rachel's brilliant investigatory

and analytical skills was more widely viewed and accepted. She always seems to zoom in on the
obvious. And, at least her own colleagues should get on board because she really outshines them.

[ancianita]

39. This will end up being the Big Blagojevich for Christie. Investigations, feds, evidence all point to

impeachment over the next year or more. Maybe jail time. What he allowed his "office" to do contributed to some deaths. Not cool.

[Babel_17]

40. K&R: It was a great show

Fwiw: The mayor, Mark J. Sokolich, was born in Fort Lee, NJ, and is actually of Croatian descent.

[boston bean]

47. did you know that politckernj was owned by

wildstein?

Many of the articles are now offline.

[Babel_17]

48. No, I found it by googling

"It will be a tough November for this little Serbian"

I googled that and at that time the link to that article came up.

[boston bean]

49. he might have just been a former editor, but could have swon I heard yesterday

that he owned the site.

[Babel_17]

51. politckernj wildstein

I now have links to some good articles by googling that.

[Babel_17]

50. Now I remember

Actually, I made a mental error and googled "It will be a tough winter for this little Serbian"

That brought the politickernj.com link up as the top, relevant, hit.

As of this moment it's the second, relevant, hit.

[davidpdx]

42. I'll head over and see if it's on the website yet.

[malaise]

45. There's a link at #35 n/t

[Enthusiast]

44. What will she say about the TPP?

[2banon]

55. good question. Has she discussed this topic yet?

I don't have cable/sat.

[Enthusiast]

57. I'm about to find out, we have Rachel's Friday edition on the TIVO.

[2banon]

58. Dollars to Donuts that topic was completely ignored. Am I right?

[Enthusiast]

59. You are right.

[2banon]

60. There you have it. Let's get distracted by stuff that is of no significance or real consequence

to the 98% and are about to be shafted yet again. amor la lucha, mi amigo.
