Sweeney says Christie never called him from Disney World

I just got off the phone with former Acting Governor Steve Sweeney.

I asked the Senate president about the governor's statement at a press conference in Freehold Thursday to the effect that he and Christie had been in contact during the time Christie spent at Disney World:
"Senator Sweeney and I consulted on all of the significant decisions that needed to be made during the period of my time out of the state," Christie said at the press conference. "We never once disagreed on what needed to be done."

The reason they didn't disagree, Sweeney told me, is that they never spoke.

"I never spoke to him the entire time," Sweeney told me. "He and I never spoke until he got back."

Who's telling the truth? It sure looks like Sweeney. He made similar statements to News12 New Jersey on Wednesday, even before the governor got back.

1. Christie didn't think anyone would check?

3. To be fair... no one noticed Christie's absence

until someone on staff asked about telling whose ma jingle what was going on.

The staffer was fired but the damage was already done. ;)

11. He needs to resign to spend more time with family

if that's where his priorities lie. He was elected to serve the citizens of New Jersey.

PS It's funny that this info comes from Paul Mulshine's blog. I went to college with him and worked at the Star-Ledger for years before they hired him. He's totally right wing.
