Washington Post conservative columnist Kathleen Parker on income inequality:
Some of the factors contributing to the income gap are, indeed, tough to tackle, and Obama is not, in fact, a god, as he now seems comfortable conceding. These factors include the loss of jobs for low-skilled workers and the apparent inability of this population, for whatever reasons, to become more skilled. (Perhaps legalizing marijuana will help. If it doesn’t provide enough jobs, at least more people will care less.)

Definitely not a good look for Christie. But I don't think it will sink him, unless someone can definitively place his fingerprints on this. He needs to fire this Kelly person ASAP though.

When has Obama ever conceded that he is not a god? Therefore, he still thinks of himself as one.

forget whether Christie is the second coming of Dubya. this shit is straight outta Nixon's playbook.
that said, and given just how shit some of the state- and county-level NJ Democratic leaders are, i doubt that they regret supporting Christie even after this.

Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson 22mThey like safe bets. They like winners. They hate scandal. And they really, really hate surprises.
Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson 22mChristie's performance in this in next 48 is rather impt in the secret megadonor primary. They viewed him as being free of scandal.

This Christie thing will be dismissed outside of NY because most people outside NY think that's how politicians in NY do stuff. See also: Chicago.

it's fuckin awesome really. the right-wing twitter spin is "THIS is how you do an apology press conference. answer EVERYBODY'S questions. no 'no further questions.' just answer until there are none"
the underrated a spin is "wow this dude loves to hear himself talk"
