During one stay in Washington, for example, Christie stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel at a cost of $475 per night, more than double the government rate of $233 per night, justifying the cost by explaining that he was scheduled to speak at the hotel early in the morning.

The report also took note of Christie's reimbursements for transportation to and from airports. In Boston, for example, to travel a distance of four miles, he arranged for car service that cost $236 round-trip, instead of a taxi. And in London, car service between the airport and a hotel cost taxpayers $562 for a round trip.

Christie declined to be interviewed by the Inspector General's Office, but provided a letter stating that he was unable to provide "any other specific information" to supplement the travel documentation.

Perhaps you should take a look at Nancy Pelosi's travel expenses. The booze alone on her jetting costs us a heck of a lot more than Christie's night at the Four Seasons. Not only that, but she lets family members use her private jet as well. No complaints about that from the left?

Do the liberals and our Justice Dept look foolish for trying to beat up Christie over this or what? My god, Christie has already addressed this I believe.

Here is what this is about:

Christie polls better than Obama in New Jersey. Christie is doing good things in Jersey. Obama and the libs cant stand that. So they come out with this. Sad and pathetic.

Funny, the liberals were silent on Pelosi flying friends/family on our dime. Yet here they are trying to slam Christie over something so silly.

Here is the real story. The DOJ is looking playing political games instead of doing its job. The same DOJ that refused to prosecute an easy case against the Black Panthers, but will go after a Governor because the Gov is doing well and so far doing the most out of any recently elected governor to do what he was elected to do.
