TPM:

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Thursday defended his pal New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) against the "bully" stereotype, saying the scandal surrounding the George Washington Bridge was just a "stupid political prank that backfired."

Yes...I always consider adding an extra 4 hours to people's commutes (including people who likely voted for the Governor) and slowing down EMS a backfired prank. don't know why anyone is so upset about it...

I'm not quite sure how this was supposed to get the Ft. Lee Mayor to jump on the Christie bandwagon though.
