The Day Chris Christie LOST ANY CHANCE Of EVER Becoming President

[Segami]

LOL!................YOOOOU SIT DOWN.....AND MAY I ADD...........S...T...F...U!!!.................



It was yesterday, October 29, in the shore town of Belmar, NJ, where Governor Chris Christie had come to commemorate the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Former Asbury Park city councilman James Keady, holding a sign that read, “Stay in NJ. Finish the job,” interrupted the governor to ask about his miserable record on Sandy relief. My favorite line isn’t “Sit down and shut up!” It’s the more creative “I've been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work.” Or maybe it’s Christie’s comeback after he offered to debate Keady (“anytime you like, buddy, anytime, anytime you like”), and Keady said, How about at dinner tonight? Revealing that he’s all bluff and no tuff, Christie shot back: "There's about a thousand things I'll do tonight. Going to dinner with you is about number 1,001." And do not miss Christie’s wife, Mary Pat, to his left, with that tolerant-spouse-of-an-asshole smile. (The Bill Braley look-a-like standing next to Christie, Belmar mayor Matt Doherty, looks like he’d rather be anywhere else on earth.)


Here are more of Christie’s choice words, from NJ.com:

“I'll be more than happy to have a debate with you anytime you like, guy, because somebody like you doesn’t know a damn thing about what you're talking about except to stand up and show off when the cameras are here. I've been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work. ... Turn around, get your fifteen minutes of fame, and then, maybe, take your jacket off, roll up your sleeves, and do something for the people of this state."

Keady, who said he is a lifelong resident, continued, "I was here for a month after Sandy, and ..."

Christie finished Keady's sentence for him.

" ... and there's been 23 months since then, when all you've been doing is flapping your mouth and not doing anything. So listen, you want to have the conversation later? I'm happy to have it, buddy. But until that time, sit down and shut up."

Chris Hayes smartly booked Keady for his show last night, where Keady said that of the $1.1 billion allocated to victims of Sandy, “only 20 percent of those dollars have gotten to the people.” He also explained that he took off a month from work to clean up people’s homes and run the clean-up crews. OK, let’s give Christie a break: he’s had a rough few days. Kaci Hickox, the nurse he had quarantined against her will, had been kicking his butt public-relations-wise (she’s now out bike-riding in defiance of Governor Paul LePage in Maine); Wisconsin governor Scott Walker had groused that his re-election campaign needed only Christie’s RGA money, and not his presence on the stump); and on Tuesday a Monmouth University poll was released that found 66 percent of Garden State residents are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the Sandy relief efforts.

Still, Christie’s outburst in Belmar was even less “presidential,” to put it politely, than his long line of earlier tantrums. So far, only the nice moments of that day have made it to the governor’s YouTube channel.

1. Don't count on it. No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. yep.

[HERVEPA]

10. I should have included the attribution, and the full and correct quote.

No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.

2. Tub-O-Shit's bounced back before, but this one just might be it...

and special note should be made that if he's been working so hard on Sandy for two years, why isn't the job done?

[JI7]

3. the media loves it and treating it as something positive

[Johonny]

5. Who's looking out for you?

Why do people vote for conservatives who clearly aren't?

[Man from Pickens]

6. That day has long since passed

The bridge-traffic scandal alone was more than enough. No way he could survive a whole campaign season with a national spotlight on that.

[marions ghost]

7. Hope so

He looked about as presidential as Homer Simpson.

Christie is really a serious contender?

8. Why do I think of ... ?

18. No, Ralph Kramden would have remembered what Norton told him!

Pins and needles, needles and pins, its a happy man that grins!

9. I've Posted This Before But....

watch him lie to the camera with that sincere look on his face and his smiling wife and baby next to him...he has no moral compass.

This is a true sociopath. This isn't just a bad guy or someone that I disagree with politically (both are true by the way), there's also something seriously wrong with him. A deep-seeded psychological problem that causes him to lash out at anyone who challenges him. To lie as it suits him. To destroy anybody for the sake of advancing his career. He is a dangerous and deeply flawed character.

11. As long as Nurse Kaci Hickox doesn't come up positive for Ebola!

That would give him an international "I told you so" public relations juggernaut he could ride roughshod over the Dems, the media, Obama, AND the swing voters right into the Oval Office...

14. Its a diabolical thought..

...what a jackpot windfall that would be for Christie.......Oh, and forget about the nurse's health.

[immoderate]

22. Only if Nurse Kaci infects somebody.

[moondust]

12. So Presidential. lol

So statesmanlike.

More like the bouncer at the local mafia pool hall.

[Laxman]

13. And Please Allow Me To Add....

that Mayor Matt Doherty of Belmar, who appeared with Christie this fine day, is one of the Democrats who endorsed Christie post-Sandy. Here he is, still acting as a prop for the governor's political ambitions. He probably thought he would endorse Christie, get his Sandy money and move on. Looks like he didn't realize he had actually sold his soul to the great windbag and will be in his thrall for eternity. All for moving to the front of the line for recovery funds to re-build a boardwalk in the same place it got destroyed in the first place. (what a great idea that was Matt!)

[Egnever]

15. I think you give the american public way too much credit.

[IADEMO2004]

16. That shit is what the GOP get high on!!!! nt

[Logical]

17. Seems like nothing hurts this idiot. He will bounce back again. nt

[adigal]

19. Since 80% of Americans agree with quarantine, Christie gave himself a boost

I don't see any way you can think this considering the polls on this.

[Rowdyboy]

20. Are you kidding? EVERYONE loves his east-coast New Jersey "atty-tude"

That in-your-face bullshit that passes for masculinity among the jabbering classes like Chris Matthews

[Cha]

21. I hope so! It would be only just desserts if his big fat slippery mouth was the reason

for the coup de grâce.

Mahalo Segami! Oh, can you imagine and this would take some real stretch.. but imagine if President Obama did that? The corpmediawhore$$$ would be on that like swarming locust.
