The Daily Show's take on the Christie Presser yesterday,* which, as Jon Stewart points out, wasn't his usual behavior.
The investigations are just gathering steam. But it should be pretty clear to even the most casual observer of Christie's time as governor that what happened at Fort Lee was clearly within the tone that he set. Christie has a well-deserved reputation for being a thin-skinned bully who will go after anyone for even the tiniest of political offenses.
This particular story has been building for months. Last month, Christie made jokes that he personally was moving the traffic cones in Fort Lee. It's not at all credible that Christie waited until two days ago to start asking people if any of them had been involved.

Jon Stewart got off one of his all-time great lines Wednesday night, pointing out that the NJ state flag features a severed horse head...;-)
