Chris Christie on Chuck Todd: 'The most pretentious know-it-all on network news'

[demmiblue]

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Thursday called NBC and MSNBC host Chuck Todd "the most pretentious know-it-all on network news" and "a complete ass."

Christie, who serves as an ABC contributor, shared his perspective on Todd during an appearance on a rare live edition of CBS's "Late Show" with host Stephen Colbert.

The program aired live just after Thursday night's Democratic debate from Miami.

"Please God, can we say goodbye to Chuck Todd?” Christie asked.

Broken clock, and all that.

[DeminPennswoods]

1. Something most all of us can agree on.

[Zambero]

2. Blowhard know-it-all politician

calls out his media equivalent.

[FakeNoose]

7. Bingo!

[Sherman A1]

13. +1000

[Perseus]

17. No matter, I am glad he said it

It is what many people are thinking.

During the debates he tried to keep Maddow in the background...I laughed when he said "I need to take a commercial break right now"..."I need", as he is the one controlling the shots...

[Wounded Bear]

22. That's the problem, he is...

he's the Senior Political Correspondent, or some such pompous title.

That's why we can't get rid of him.

[customerserviceguy]

19. Just remember

during the election, Christie was never working in the interests of the American people. Even after getting shot down for the VP nomination, he worked to install the Orange Menace, and unfortunately, was successful in his efforts.

Just because he says something nasty about UpChuck Todd doesn't make him any better of a person.

[not fooled]

42. Yep

and every time he shows up on the teevee bloviating, I want the host to ask him how it feels to be walking around free while his minions are doing time for carrying out political dirty tricks for his benefit.

[paleotn]

24. Takes one to know one I guess.

Chuck Todd seem to be following the Geraldo Rivera career plan. Say anything for ratings and cash.

[mountain grammy]

29. Exactly!

[malaise]

3. Holy Shit

I agree with Christie on something

[NNadir]

4. Criticism from the ignorant thug is high praise.

Thus man is such a fool that he was the first of the main morons to endorse a stupid racist for the Presidency, the only such person to exceed James Buchanan in pure incompetence.

[efhmc]

5. Probably not the "most" but close.

[Yavin4]

6. Game recognizing game. n/t

[jrthin]

8. Yes...that "broken clock, and all that" adage strikes again.

Probably the only time I'll ever thank Christie for saying what clearly needed to be said.

[spanone]

9. "Please God, can we say goodbye to fucking chris christie?"

[demmiblue]

10. That too, also. n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. Actually, Chris, that would be your pal Joe Scarbrough.

[Cirque du So-What]

12. I dunno...

Tweety's definitely a contendah.

[rurallib]

14. Probably a bunch of contenders on FUX Snooze

but I ain't gonna watch to seethe they are.

jeanine pirro? ingraham?

[Cirque du So-What]

41. I don't count Faux stooges

They don't even make a pretense of non-bias.

[Perseus]

15. I never thought I could agree with Christie on anything, but this time 100%

Yes, please get rid of that moron. Every time I see Todd on anything I change the channel, and I had to put up with listening to him during the debates.

[calimary]

40. Definitely! That's a top priority for me in my ongoing fantasy "if I were running MSNBC."

Getting RID of Chuck Todd.

Chuck “it’s not my job to fact-check my guests” Todd.

Mr. “I put one side on and let them say their piece and then I put the other side on and let them say their piece. And voila! That’s all it takes! I’ve done my job!”

To which I say “Bull-fucking-shit!”

I’d END his run on “Meet the Press.” Smug schmuck has no business captaining that show. Not even the weekday version. Every day he’s on there as host, he proves yet again that he doesn’t deserve it. Soooooooo many alternatives! Rachel Maddow comes to mind. So does Katy Tur. I might even try to steal Jake Tapper.

[Paladin]

16. Jeez, it pains me to agree with Christie.

I know it won't last, though.

[Rebl2]

18. Like the old

saying goes, takes one to know one

[KG]

20. piss on chris christie anyway

[Greybnk48]

21. File this under: "It takes one to know one."

They're cut from the same cloth.

[watoos]

23. Christie is pretending he is upset with Toad,

Chuck Todd is auditioning for a job on Fox. I used to watch Meet the press once in a while, not any more since they changed it to Meet the Republicans.

[rickford66]

43. Yup. Press the Meat

[Pepsidog]

25. First time I agree with the prick

[hibbing]

26. Smug ahole criticizes another n/t

[broiles]

27. I can't believe I just agreed with Chris Christie!

[dchill]

28. I guess we all have our reasons, Chris.

[Docreed2003]

30. Here's my problem with Chuck Todd

Chuck Todd comes across like the pseudo-intellectual, pretentious asshole we all know or have experienced in our lives who presents themselves as an expert on a topic with absolutely nothing to back up their claims and who, despite their ego, they inevitably show how ignorant they truly are. That's Chuck Todd.

Plus, it doesn't help that the moron chooses, repeatedly to pander to all GOP guests and manage them with kids gloves.

[orleans]

31. chuck todd drives me crazy

and he can't even speak properly.

he dumps down the end of his sentences on meet the press -- even with the tv sound turned WAY up i still can't hear the last two or three words he says.

i think he's such a jerk

[FakeNoose]

33. I agree that he's hard to listen to

It's a terrible speaking technique, for someone who's supposedly in the information industry you'd think he would realize this. I have to turn on closed captions when he's speaking.

[Iggo]

32. I'll take Chuck Todd over Chris Christie any day, and I fucking hate Chuck Todd. (n/t)

[Faux pas]

34. Lol

pot meet kettle. Hate to say it, but the other 'complete ass' is right.

[NCjack]

36. There must be some traffic cones somewhere that those two could move around. nt

[Faux pas]

39. That would be

the perfect job for both of them!

[dlk]

35. Christie Can Certainly Spot a Pretentious Know-It-All - He Sees One in the Mirror Every Morning

It takes one to know one.

[Owl]

38. Takes one to know one.

[Rhiannon12866]

44. Here's the video of the interview:

Stephen Colbert - Guest Gov. Chris Christie: "Joe Biden Has Room To Have A Tough Night"

The former New Jersey Governor thinks Sen. Kamala Harris won night two of the Democratic debate by going on the offense against Joe Biden, but he also says that the former Vice President is unlikely to lose ground after one bad debate.




Gov. Chris Christie On Trump's Biggest Debate Weakness

Former Governor Chris Christie believes Trump's weakness is that he will get baited by opponents in debates by "swinging at every pitch."

[Raine]

45. There's lots of competition for that title

I don't think I could even narrow it down but I would definitely put Chris Matthews ahead in that category.
