His Voters Were With Snow White, Too

No fake, Mickey Mouse contrition from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who took off for five days in Orlando as the blizzard started:

The rising GOP star, who often is mentioned as a presidential contender, defended taking his children to Disney World for a week while Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno also was away and said he was in constant contact with his staff and [acting governor] Sweeney as the storm unfolded.

"I would have been doing the same thing here as I would have been there," Christie said. "I would have been in a room someplace. I would not have been out, like, driving a plow."
