'Partisan hypocrite': Eric Boehlert slammed after criticizing Christie for Obama-like explanation

Yes you read that right. Media Matters’ Dem flack Eric Boehlert is criticizing Chris Christie for borrowing President Obama’s signature move:

that "blind sided" quote will come in handy in future attack ads against Christie. (claiming yr clueless isn't best strategy)

again, ALL these allegations were made MONTHS ago. Christie now claiming it was all news to him until yesterday. #goodluck

Wow, the partisan blinders are still securely in place.

"Christie heard about a scandal from his staff? LAME."

"Obama heard about a scandal by watching the news? Oh, coolio!"
