Bruce Springsteen Mocks New Jersey Governor

OMFG! Is nothing sacred? D'uh!
Quite funny though. In some fashion.

Well, that theory is certainly no less credible than this one:
Well, either Christie's lying about not being anything but happy, or his face is. And did he forget Trump's name as well -- "Someone giving a press conference"? But as long as we're inventing theories, how about this: It's a promotional tie-in with the new Zoolander movie -- the inventor of the "Blue Steel" look (who grew up in fictional southern New Jersey coal mining country) taught Christie the "No Clue Steel" look!

I didn't think I could have any less respect for him than I had after he trashed New Jersey and stole from pension plans. But that is really scraping the bottom of the barrel in order to ingratiate yourself with someone powerful......UGH

That's not nice -- especially when there's no truth to the rumor that U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has placed Christie on the back burner due to his deer-in-headlights human backdrop act. There he is right behind Trump, looking properly smug and attentive during the New York republican primary victory speech:


There's Mrs. Christie's eye roll -- and there's Mr. Christie's deer-in-headlights expression again!

You have to give Governor Soprano points for efficiency. After a drought of news, he gives us a deluge -- in more ways than one!
Well, Christie can take comfort in having been one of the runners-up, and besides, it doesn't mean he still hasn't got a shot at being a Trump presidential official. As chief of staff, attorney general, or head of the Department of Justice, he could still wield considerable political clout on a national level -- enough to squelch any further investigation of Bridge(t)-Gate, perhaps?

Samson has since retired from his law firm (whose clients did business with the PA), due to "personal, professional and health reasons." However, Samson's PA chairmanship did give him enough autonomy that it really is possible that Christie didn't know about "the chairman's flight," if not other things.
Well, now this is a problem: having one of his commissioners directly involved takes Christie into "If he didn't know, he should have" territory -- and far away from any shot at being in Trump's administration.

A plea deal that takes him from a 10-year max to two? Either Samson is having MAJOR health problems, or he's given the prosecution info about Christie that has made Paul Fishman a VERY happy man!

When it rains, it pours...

Back in May, Trump assigned Christie to head his presidential transition team -- he would be in charge of the logistics of moving the Trump administration into the White House. Christie should have either politely turned it down if he wanted to be a Trump administration senior official (including vice president), or taken the hint that the Trump camp wasn't considering him for anything else.

It's not clear if Christie still has his transition team slot, but apparently he has not been cast aside completely. The morning the convention formally opened, he accepted an assignment to make a public appearance on behalf of the party:

Gracious and pragmatic, plus a touch of passion. Very nicely done -- especially when you consider that Christie can't possibly be happy about not being scheduled to speak at the convention itself.

Well, now, let's not leap to conclusions. Maybe Duh Donald donated less than $25,000. Maybe he didn't send a check because he simply didn't get around to it. Maybe Trump changed his mind or deliberately to lied Mary Pat about sending a check because wasn't scared of making the Christies look bad. Maybe the conversation between Mary Pat and Trump never took place. Maybe Mary Pat lied to Chris about the conversation taking place. Maybe Christie made the whole thing up. Maybe the spokesperson is right: maybe Christie simply got the name of the charity wrong. Maybe Christie came up with a perfect way of getting back at Trump. Or maybe it was Christie who gave Trump's wife the "extra help" she spoke of in preparing her convention speech!



P.S. The Drumthwacket Foundation helps to preserve the official residence of New Jersey's governor. Guess who runs it? Mary Pat Christie.

Looks like Christie has taken Beyonce's advice and made lemonade out of his not being invited to speak at the Republican national convention.

In addition to speaking at a breakfast meeting, he turned up on a TV show explaining his interpretation of Melania-Gate:
Since then, an official explanation of Melania-Gate has been issued, though it makes Melania out to be a politically tone deaf lying bimbo. And it turned out that his efforts did not go unrewarded by Duh Donald -- Christie got to make a speech at the convention after all!


He didn't make the ready for prime time list, which featured a retired doctor, the owner of a winery, and two of Trump's children. But I suppose it's better than no convention speaking at all.


P.S. Christie has a couple of private email servers of his own:

P.P.S:

Best news I've heard all day.

Quote:

The decision on impeachment will be up to Democratic Speaker Vincent Prieto and if he gives the go-ahead, the Assembly Judiciary Committee would begin the process. It takes a majority of the 80-member Assembly to vote articles of impeachment. If it passes the Democrat-controlled body, the trial would be in the Senate, where two-thirds of senators would be needed to convict. Although Democrats hold a majority in the Senate, they would need three Republican senators to join them if all Democrats vote to convict..

I doubt this could happen within the last 16 months of Christie's term -- even with the three Republican votes -- but it's the thought that counts!

And I hope you're not disappointed that your husband won't be called as a witness -- or will he?
