Christie Misleads on NJ Radio Show When Asked About Secret Meeting With Koch Bros.
Equates political strategy session, fund raiser for billionaire oil magnates with trip to deli, family vacation...

Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) was asked about his secret meetings with the billionaire Koch Brothers this evening on a local New Jersey town hall radio show, and whether his private meeting had any affect on his surprise decision to unilaterally withdraw New Jersey from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI, pronounced "Reggie) last May.

The Governor failed to tell the truth in his response during tonight's appearance on the monthly Meet the Governor radio show on New Jersey's 101.5FM. Moreover, he purposely conflated two entirely separate events in order to mislead in his evasive response…

4. Because, in this case, he was arguably misleading (in a big, knowing way) versus lying...
I'm not one of those whose afraid to use the "L" word. In this case, however, the host was ill-prepared, and offered questions that allowed Christie to mislead in his answers, even though he knew what the host was *trying* to refer to (but wasn't up to speed enough on the story to do.)

Read the article, listen to the audio of the show tonight (I've clipped the 7 minute portion where they discuss it), and I think you'll see what I mean.

6. I'm pretty sure that is Eric Scott, not Brian Scott.
This station has been Christie's cheerleader since before he got elected. I don't think they have any desire to get at the truth when it comes to Christie.
