irritate him- The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Choleric of temper. That seems to sum up Christie. I think he's just a few irritations away from a full blown public melt down.

Election 2016: Chris Christie Delivered Profanity-Laced Tirade At NJ Press Dinner
WASHINGTON -- Gov. Chris Christie, assuring reporters that he is still planning a 2016 presidential campaign, delivered a profanity-laced tirade about the New Jersey press corps on Wednesday night at the annual New Jersey Legislative Correspondents Club Show, according to an audio recording of the speech obtained by International Business Times. Even attendees used to Christie's brusque demeanor thought the speech was unusually biting.
Christie told reporters at the dinner that he "just doesn't give a s---" about them. Organizers said the event was officially off the record, although many attendees, based on previous years' experience, believed it to be on the record. In any case, when youre running for president, nothing is ever off the record. Ask Mitt Romney, whose comments about the 47 percent at a fundraiser closed to the press went viral.
Its a tradition of the New Jersey press corps to hold an annual fundraiser for scholarships. It's all supposed to be in lighthearted fun. The reporters wear costumes and perform dances; the governor gives a speech. Lobbyists, media organizations and politicians buy tables for the fundraiser.
Christie, now in his seventh year as governor, seems to have tired of the event. Anything that gets me off this f------ stage next year, Im willing to do anything, Christie said. Why do you think I might run for president? Cause I dont know what primary is in May 2016 next year, but if Im at 1 f------ percent, I will be there.
