Gov. Corbett turning into Gov. Christie

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett channeled his inner-Chris Christie during a recent press conference about the Penn State scandal when reporters kept asking the same question over and over about the length of time it took the attorney general's office to investigate Jerry Sandusky.

Corbett was attorney general for eight years until he took office as governor in January 2011.

 Corbett addressed the question of why the investigation took years before a grand jury indictment early on during the press conference, but it was asked again by a reporter.

A visibly upset Corbett snapped back at the unidentified reporter:

"Why are you all obsessed with that? We do not hold up investigations for anything. You are disparaging the reputation of the men and women in that office who have worked very hard to get to the result - that justice was served and a monster was taken off the street." After a pause, a still perturbed Corbett added: "To continue to ask that question, quite honestly, is in my mind out of line. These men and women did their job. And I did my job. The men and women on that jury did their job. And that's the story. Next question."

The press conference was carried live on the Pennsylvania Cable Network.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has had several well-publicized confrontations with reporters, including one case where Christie called the reporter an "idiot" for asking the same question that was already answered.
