ABC Scolds 'Rising Star of the Republican Party' Chris Christie for Missing Blizzard

Of the three morning shows, only ABC's Good Morning America on December 30 singled out New Jersey governor Chris Christie, chiding the "rising star of the Republican Party" for being out of the state when a blizzard hit. At the same time, reporter Sharyn Alfonsi praised Newark's Democratic Mayor Cory Booker for helping with the clean-up. She enthused, "Wow! A mayor with a shovel."
