administration operates. the democrats have turned that on chris christie saying governor why didn't you know? what kind of operation are you running. for him to come out and say i knew nothing about it but it's my fault i'm responsible i'm the one who should be held accountable it is getting pretty good grades from republicans. remember there's not been a flush of praise from republicans. they are not flooding out the praise him because he has been a party of one. he has sometimes taken an issue with his own party especially here in washington and tried to carve out a separate brand. when you put yourself ainu knick spot when you're in trouble you're often alone. >> also they have to be a little slow because he's getting by on the exception to the rule sway big power player, a man who is in charge, who didn't know what was going on. which is possible but not that likely. you used the word accountability. i thought you did a great job in your questioning. i thought you were spot on making the exact point about referencing how didn't you know. i didn't hear accountability.
