Taking Responsibility Chris Christie Style

Josh Marshall | October 27, 2009 - Talkingpointmemo

You may remember, about a month and a half ago, another incident emerged in Chris Christie's troubled history driving cars.

Back in 2002, on the way to an event, Christie turned the wrong way onto a one-way street and struck a motorcyclist head on, seriously injuring the guy on the motorcycle. There were all sorts of questions about just how that happened and whether Christie got off easier than your average Joe might have. There was also the small matter of Christie saying he'd never been sued over the incident, despite evidence emerging later that a suit had been filed and then dropped, apparently after an out of court settlement. But there never seemed to be any dispute that Christie ... well, hit a guy on a motorcycle while driving the wrong way on a one way street.

But on Fox & Friends this morning, when asked about the incident, Christie denied it ever happened. "I was not driving the wrong way down a one way street and the Governor knows it," Christie said. "I didn't hit someone, they hit me."
