Bruce Springsteen Mocks New Jersey Governor

No he certainly isn't - though I think Bruce is at least civil to him. Bruce, at least, has manners LOL

The last Republican presidential debate of 2015 was held this week, and Christie needed to "Duplicate Duh Donald" his way back onto the primetime podium:
I accept the fact that being anti-union is part of of being a Republican. But referring to the law enforcement as "pigs?" Really? After the anti-Viet Nam war and black militant protests of the 1960s, that might as well be a racial epithet!

It is also standard operating procedure for Republicans to deny global warming, because exploiting the environment is more profitable than protecting it:
Oh, he doesn't SEE any evidence -- I guess that explains why he didn't notice when the "second-costliest hurricane in United States history" and "largest Atlantic hurricane on record" made U.S. landfall in New Jersey, and why he's been dragging his feet about paying victims to this day!


But we mustn't take any stock in Brenda Ekwurzel's expertise or credibility -- she's a member of the "UNION of Concerned Scientists, a non-profit science advocacy organization."


At any rate, mission accomplished -- Christie got enough of a bump in his poll numbers to get back into the prime time national debate spotlight! And he used it brilliantly:
The current king of Jordan is named Abdullah. But anyone can get names confused, especially if they're foreign and not people with whom you've had an actual relationship.
Even I am pretty good at remembering the names of those who pay my bills...

Happy screw you, I mean, happy new year, from Christieland! Things have been quiet on the legal front due the the Baroni/Kelly Bridge(t)-Gate trials being postponed from September to November to April. And as for Christie's presidential campaign, it was once again interrupted by bad weather in New Jersey. It's a problem he's had since 2010, when a snowstorm failed to interrupt his Florida vacation in Disneyland. He didn't declare a state of emergency this summer because it would have crowded the announcement of his presidential run out of the national headlines. And it was snow, not Bridge(t)-Gate-addled ticket sales, that forced him to cancel his second inaugural dinner!

Unfortunately, the circumstances changed from a predicted maximum of 18 inches to a predicted minimum of 18 inches!

At least he's learned to be practical enough to leave himself some wiggle room, and he tweeted that his wife would be staying on in Iowa. Hey, maybe he's finally beginning to get the hang of this job!

Another heckler vanquished, though the video indicates no aggression, derision, or sheepishness involved. Oh, and about that fantasy of hers that more than more county was flooded:

I imagine that there some was snarling going on at the Jersey Shore's other counties as well:

• Brigantine (Alantic County) was challenged last weekend by the convergence of Winter Storm Jonas, the full moon and the resultant high tides...
  
• Flooding Barnegat NJ (Ocean County), Winter Storm Jonas, 1/24/16
  
• Second high tide brings more flooding to Monmouth County

But it isn't as though payment for the damage will have to come out of New Jersey's budget. All Christie has to do is request federal funding from president Obama -- you know, that guy he described as a petulant child and a feckless weakling and whose backside he vowed to kick out the U.S. White House in the fall though he's leaving anyway?

But lest you conclude that Christie doesn't care about his constituents at all:
Well, if responsibility is something you embrace only when it works to your advantage, but shun whenever it tries to hold you accountable, it doesn't matter if your job is a president, governor, or ditch digger. Sounds like a schoolyard bully to me, Governor Snow-prano!

Christie officially pulled out of the Republican primary race last week after being unable to pull his voter approval numbers out of the single digits. To make matters worse, Jeb Bush has pulled out too, and as a protege of the Bush family, Christie was pretty much assured a consolation prize of the vice presidency, chief of staff, or attorney general if Jeb had done well.

During Christie's absence, the Bridge(t)-Gate legal bill has managed to hit $13 million New Jersey taxpayer dollars. With nothing but a indictment to look forward to (his New Jersey DIS-approval ratings are approaching TRIPLE digits), what could he possibly do to salvage his political future?

Sure, Christie was describing Trump as "unfit" to be president just weeks ago. But why not let bygones be bygones when you could get a vice president, chief of staff, or attorney general position out of it? After all, in addition to moral support, Christie has no doubt bolstered Trump's efforts by turning over his election resources to him as well.

Anyone except a direct competitor, you would think -- THAT'S Christie's idea of being a supportive, dedicated, loyal team player? I thought Bernie Sanders was the socialist candidate!

UPDATE:

Christie is a tramp like us!

Chris Christie: Wannabe Celebrity

[...]
The thing to remember about Christie—the reason his idol Bruce Springsteen’s repeated rejection hurt so much, I think—is that the New Jersey governor considers himself a celebrity and, as a result, feels entitled to the celebrity’s lifestyle. As Jason Fagone noted on Twitter, Matt Katz’s book on Christie contains the following rather revealing quote in a section during which, among other things, it is revealed that Christie crashed at Jon Bon Jovi’s house one night and texted Bono after news broke that the Irish rocker got into an accident:

I’ve never had trouble making friends, of any kind, in my life. … For people who are important to me in my life, I pay attention to them. … Now that I’m a celebrity, celebrities are no different than anyone else.

[...]

Trump can give Christie everything that the larger-than-life governor thinks he is entitled to: luxurious accommodations, travel worthy of the Davos set, and a reflection of glory. “Donald Trump is a celebrity—just like me!” Christie almost certainly thinks to himself. “Who is this Rubio punk? Why are his donors backing him and not me? Don’t they know who I am? Don’t they know who I have in my rolodex? Has Rubio ever taken a phone call from Bono? Slept on Richie Sambora’s couch? High-fived an NFL owner in that owner’s box?”

Christie is a prostitute - he gets payed.

Thanks very much for posting this here, because it brings this thread full circle:
Why Bruce has always shunned Christie should be a matter of common sense: either Christie isn't at all familar with Bruce's lyrics, or he is incapable of comprehending them. How can Christie fist-pump to Bruce's music with one hand while signing anti- working and middle-class policies with the other? Well, now we have the answer: To Christie, it doesn't matter what Bruce (or anybody else) does as long as they are famous -- because he's famous himself.

That's why he doesn't worry about how it looks to use Bon Jovi music -- and accept a campaign contribution from Jon -- while Jon is raising money for the opposing political party (link). That's why he defended the honor of a NFL football coach by describing a reporter who dared to ask a tough question as an "idiot." And that's why he has accepted the position of Trump campaign enforcer less than two weeks after declaring Trump unfit for presidential office.

No doubt "payment" for Christie's services has been arranged in the form of a spot in the Trump administration, but as an act of prostitution? Prostitutes stay in business by knowing and keeping their place in the social/moral structure. Christie (and Trump, of course) are actually vulgarians: self-pimping prostitutes who equate their fame and fortune with social and moral ascendancy. Nothing they do is illegal, immoral, unethical or even irrational -- they're too rich and famous to be held accountable by us mere "little people"!

Last night a serious French TV news bulletin showed Trump and Christie at some event and commented that the rumor says that Christie would be vice-president if... HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL P!!!

That is really painful to contemplate.....ugh.
