… IT’S NOW ALMOST AS BIG AS THE POLITICIAN HIMSELF!

David Samson – a key ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – is the subject of a federal investigation that threatens to expand the ring of scandals surrounding the establishment GOP’s choice for president in 2016.

In addition to the federal probe, Samson – who is chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey – is the focus of a state investigation into allegations surrounding the improper disbursement of federal aid from Hurricane Sandy. According to Hoboken, New Jersey mayor Dawn Zimmer, Christie’s administration threatened to withhold Sandy recovery funds unless she approved a development for one of Samson’s clients.

Ruh-roh!

According to The Wall Street Journal, the investigation into Samson is being run by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara of Manhattan. Beyond that, all the paper seems to know is that Bharara’s office is seeking documents connected to Samson’s development business.

Christie’s presidential ambitions have already been dealt a serious blow by the George Washington Bridge scandal – in which access ramps to the bridge were closed in a deliberate attempt to create traffic jams in Fort Lee, New Jersey (home of a mayor who failed to support Christie’s 2013 reelection bid).

Christie swears he had nothing to do with the ramp closings.

Not surprisingly, the GOP establishment has rushed to Christie’s defense …

In early voting South Carolina – where Christie is likely to spend a lot of time campaigning in the near future – the Republican apologist website GOPWrite.com recently took note of “a palatable hate” (we assume they meant to say “palpable” hate) against Christie, most of coming it “from Libertarians and Tea Partiers.”

And of course the ultimate GOP establishment apologist – S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley – rushed to Christie’s defense saying his handling of the bridge scandal “showed leadership.”

And when the cuttin’ was done, the only part that wasn’t bloody
Was the soles of the big man’s feet
He was cut in ’bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When Chris Christie hit the floor

They may have meant palatable hate – like a level that is high, but still palatable – not too, too much to where it is no longer palatable…brwahahha.

Those who feast on hate must find it palatable.

“Palletable” hate.

So much you could box it, palletize it and store it in giant warehouses.

Looks like fat boy is a slime ball just like the crook he replaced, and he himself will likely be replaced by yet another slime ball.

Well, sounds awfully familiar, right SC?

North Charleston’s mayor Summey is fatter than Christie. Nicknamed SUMO, ~ 410 lbs., with steel knee replacements and a neck so large no shirt will fit, so he’s always seen without a tie. Proud to be known as the state’s most corrupt mayor, calls himself teflon since after 25 years no law enforcement agency has been able to file charges against him.
