Christie Lied About Going to the Beach

At a news conference on the budget stalemate that has closed the New Jersey state government, Gov. Chris Christie (R) denied he went to the beach: “I didn’t. I didn’t get any sun today.”

However, the Newark Star-Ledger had proof to the contrary. Earlier that day, a photographer flew by Christie and his family on the beach — twice — while taking photos from the open door of a small plane.
