A new TV ad from Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) attacks his Republican opponent, former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, over the undisclosed $46,000 loan that Christie made to Michele Brown, a subordinate of his in the U.S. Attorney’s office who recently had to resign over the scandal:

“When he was caught, Christie said it was a ‘mistake,’ But he prosecuted people who did the same thing,” the announcer says. “Chris Christie. One set of rules for himself. Another for everyone else.”

Also note that the announcer first refers to Christie as “Republican Chris Christie” — pushing the message to voters in this Democratic state that Christie is not only shady, but he’s a Republican.
