MSNBC Relishes Opportunity to Spin Christie's Praise of President's Ha

Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, leaving nothing but devastation behind in its wake and with just days until the election. So it's not that surprising that MSNBC is spinning New Jersey Gov.

ABC Story of 4 Year-Old Crying Over 'Bronco Bamma' and Mitt Romney See

I say "allegedly" because the original of the video involved shows ove 700,000 hits at its YouTube results listing, but only about 19,000 at the original video itself.
