" No suite for Gov. Christie at Super Bowl 2014, despite previous boasts
Over the past few weeks, the governor boasted about how he would get to hand-pick two dozen VIPS for a sweet reward: the chance to enjoy the biggest sporting event in the country with him in his luxury suite at MetLife Stadium.
When asked who would control the guest list for the governors box at the Super Bowl while co-hosting WFANs Boomer and Carton sports radio show on Aug. 26, Christie said: Youre looking at him, baby.
But as it turns out, the governors box will be out of bounds for the governor on game day."

Drewniak downplayed Christies comments on WFAN, saying, "It was a sports talk show, where he was having fun and talking with excitement about what it means to him and his state to be hosting the Super Bowl."
Which means that this story ISN'T satire?

That's what I got from the article.

(8,821 posts)I predicted he would not finish the first year of his new term. That still seems like a pretty safe bet.
