| Gov. Christie´s celebrity star keeps rising higher. Three days after he did a not-half-bad bit on Saturday Night Live´s "Weekend Update," it emerged that Christie has landed a spot on Barbara Walters´ list of the "10 Most Fascinating People" of 2012. Walters went to the State House in Trenton on Tuesday to interview the governor and his wife, Mary Pat, for the 90-minute ABC special, to air Dec. 12. The news that Christie made Walters´ cut came on the same day the New York Times reported he has been busy trying to heal a rift

Now all he needs to do to be a viable Presidential candidate is switch to the Democratic Party.

There´s no ´rift´ because he´s no Republican.

Somehow the image of Christie “landing” on something doesn’t seem to bode well for the target.
Guess it doesn’t take much to get in the good graces of the yellow press, does it? Just a great big hug and photo op with the man in bomber jacket and mom jeans and you’re in.

I´m reminded of the Austin Powers movie - I forget which of the three it was - when austin´s spy girlfriend is assigned the task of placing a tracking device on Fat Bast*rd´s body, and to do that (the assignment came from Michael York) the spy girlfriend goes to bed with Fat Bast*rd and plants the device, during coitus. And when Austin Powers finds out, he says to her, "How could you do it??" And the girlfriend responds that it was her assignment, to do it by any means necessary. And Austin Powers then says, with a puzzled look on his face, "No! Really! How could you DO it??"

It´s like a parent rewarding a child for what is considered *good* behavior. Christie craves the media attention, and Babwa is willing to dole it out---as long as El Gordo has come around and sees the light. Pubbie pols should turn the tables on the *media* instead, and refuse to grant interviews unless the *media* has proven to be objective.

Another Republican sells his soul for a mess of pottage. He should ask McCain how fast the press can turn on you if you are a Republican. Of course, if he becomes the Democrat he is in his heart, the press will no longer be interested in him. There are lots of Democrats they like better.

I don´t care if the media wraps him up and puts a pretty bow on his head, I will not vote for Christie because I can´t TRUST him.
Also, I am also more than troubled by the autopsies done by Gov. Romney´s "supporters" after the election. If you have constructive criticism, give it privately. We don´t have to gleefully eat our own. Another thing, can we please stop the electioneering already! Good grief, this is like the widow eyeing her next victim at her husband´s funeral. Give it a rest. Sorry about the off topic rant.

Christie is just another suck-up RINO with dreams of being the republican whom the media will love through the 2016 campaign. When campaigning gets going in earnest he´ll get McCained and thrown under the bus. On the plus side, the back wheels of the bus won´t be able to move over his fat carcass.
He should be on the most Fantasizing List.

Christie did a good job on his first budget. That´s about all I will say for him. For Walters, I have never understood why anyone is impressed by her. She has never broken a big story. She has a speech impediment. She doesn´t do in depth interviews (asking celebrities which TREE they would be doesn´t count). She is to blame for every atrocity on that noisome The View.

#9 nailed it Big Time! The Dems think they´ve chosen our next candidate!
I saw the coverage of Christie and the little girl in the pic. I also saw him with Obie and another lady in tears. BOTH TIMES he looked and saw that a camera was focused in on him and he immediately took the girl/woman by the shoulders, got real close and looked really concerned and cared as if his life depended on it. Blech and Ptschaw!
You want optics? He´ll do optics - just get a wide angled lense. (I know, I shouldn´t have gone there. I´m just so damned dissapointed in him after seeing him stand up to the teachers union.) He´s done/fork etc.

Chris is great fun, able to be articulate and seemingly plain talking...as he tells the truth and solves problems He gives off a sense of rare honesty not found in the privileged electeds. BUT, he HAS to stick to business. Watching him arm in arm with the ragig dictator was a sickening experience. Chris, thinking he is now a full fledged celebrity, will no longer be an effective manager.

But Tea Party Patriots head Jenny Beth Martin tells Whispers she received requests to protest across the country.

President Obama will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on June 7-8, the White House announced Monday. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Mr. Xi since he became president of China in March. They previously met in Washington in 2011 when Mr. Xi was vice president. The talks come amid heightened U.S. tensions over cyberattacks reportedly originating in China. But the Obama administration said it has been pleased with Beijing’s cooperation in trying to persuade North Korea to reduce its belligerent military actions this spring.

The Indiana attorney general’s office confirmed Monday it is investigating a security breach in which Social Security numbers and other personal information were posted online for roughly 44,000 low-income Americans who applied for a federal program that provides discount Internet and phone service. The program was nicknamed the “Obamaphone” during the 2012 election, though it actually started long before President Obama took office. Indiana reportedly has the highest number of applicants, roughly 17,400, who were signed up by TerraCom Inc. and the affiliated YourTel America Inc. Applicants from at least 26 states were exposed to the security breach,

WASHINGTON- Apple Inc. has used an elaborate web of offshore subsidiaries to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in foreign income over the past four years, a Senate investigation has found. Many of the tactics, such as cost-sharing arrangements, are common among large multinational corporations seeking to shift profits to countries with lower tax rates. The investigation did not find Apple violated any laws.But three of its subsidiaries in Ireland claim to have no responsibility to pay income taxes to any country, according to a 40-page, bipartisan report released Monday

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place. According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn´t to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect." ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington.

CINCINNATI- Few workers know the IRS Cincinnati office better than Bonnie Esrig, who worked there for 24 years. She retired from her job as a senior manager in January. Esrig said she did not recall any discussion of politics in the office. "Politics and religion were things people generally didn´t talk about at work," she said. Esrig did not work on political cases and was not connected to the applications at the center of the controversy. But she worked in the same office where fewer than 200 people were dealing with 73,000 applications for exemptions last year.

While that sounds like a veiled threat against the DOJ, Van Susteren was actually making a joke about how her personal email account mostly contains correspondence and information regarding her sick dog named Audrey: Had Justice hacked into my personal email account this weekend, they would have had to sort through all the emails from the vet

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
