and now, some fresh pickings from the political grapevine. the good poem of new jersey let some tv hosts down yesterday by not hammering governor chris christie about the bridgegate scandal. the republican governor held a town hall, fielding questions from residents. what he knew about a plan to close lanes on the george washington bridge never came up. msnbc has covered that story extensively. and many hosts seemed shocked that it was not at the top of minds for new jerseyans. they blamed it all on what they called a warning from the governor before he started fielding questions. with the possible exception of some of the media who is here to cover this today, all of us are from new jersey. and so you know what that means. what that means is if you give it, you are getting it right back.
