When It Rains, It Pours; Christie Edition

The news just keeps getting worse for him.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is facing questions over the use of Superstorm Sandy relief funds.

CNN has learned that federal officials are investigating whether Christie improperly used those relief funds to produce tourism ads that starred him and his family. ... The winning $4.7 million bid featured Christie and his family in the advertisements while the losing $2.5 million proposal did not feature the Christies.
When you take Federal money for things like that, there are rules about using the lowest bidder (a point famously made by Alan Shepard after his flight in Freedom 7). Selecting the bidder who bid nearly twice as much without a damned good reason is a major no-no in the Federal contracting world.
