Hoboken Mayor's Allegations Against Chris Christie Falling Apart
CNN looking into it
The Democratic mayor at the center of one of the controversies swirling around Republican Gov. Chris Christie is, to put it politely, a woman of contradictions.
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer says the New Jersey governor threatened to withhold Superstorm Sandy relief funds unless she got behind a redevelopment project he favors. It's a story that has changed with the telling.

Goddammit.
I'm more interested in whether or not Wildstein has actual evidence that Christie ordered the lane closings. Whatever keeps this statist, authoritarian slug out of the '16 presidential race.
If I'm expected to cozy up to Republicans then I would prefer less of an asshole... or at least an asshole who isn't this much of an idiot. His contention that he didn't know what his top aide was up to paints him as either a moron or a liar, neither of which impresses me as a voter.
