Chris Christie will face the press today at 11 a.m. in Trenton, New Jersey. He'll address to growing bridge traffic controversy.
Yesterday, in a statement released by his office, he called it "unacceptable."
"What I've seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge. One thing is clear: this type of behavior is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey deserve better. This behavior is not representative of me or my Administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions," read Christie's statement.
Jim Roberts rounds up the local coverage Christie, a Republican, is facing today:

Christie unusually sober and slow-talking as he tries to express remorse. The brash act is gone.

Christie also apologizes for his failure as Governor to understand "the true nature of the problem" sooner.

The press will back off now and keep it's powder dry until he secures the GOP nomination and then we will learn what some of us already know - this guy is as crooked as a Democrat.
