The Christie-O'Malley feud is on.... [View all]
"Governor O'Malley is not really worthy of responding to," Christie told a reporter from NorthJersey.com after the show. "I'll tell you the truth: He's not that smart. He's not that good. But he's flippant, so I give him credit for that."
O'Malley had compared Christie to comedian Don Rickles on-air, and not in a good way: "Chris Christie's brand of sort of 'Don Rickles' leadership is unusual. The bombast and all of that stuff is entertaining, but it doesn't make for good governance."
What Christie characterizes as flippant, others might call TV-glib, in a good way.
On July 8, he squared off with Bobby Jindal on ABC's "This Week." The Louisiana governor said America was "going the way of Europe" thanks to what he characterized as the president's failed economic policies.
"You want to talk about going the way of Europe?" O'Malley fired back. "What went the way of Europe were the Swiss bank accounts and American dollars that Mitt Romney stuffed in that offshore Swiss bank account, jobs that he facilitated companies in moving offshore out of places like Ohio, out of Pennsylvania and Maryland."
That's the kind of biting TV retort that led Politico on July 14 to describe O'Malley as "perhaps the sharpest-tongued, most enthusiastic and aggressive advocate for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign."
