Chris Christy: statesman

Chris Christy: statesman

David Ferguson reports on the latest from the great Republican hope:



In a scene that could have come from outtakes of MTV’s popular reality series “Jersey Shore,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was caught by cameras bellowing and storming up the boardwalk in the popular vacation town Seaside Heights, NJ after a man in the crowd insulted him. The footage, shot with a phone camera and distributed by TMZ, shows Christie shouting angrily until a member of his entourage leads him away.

The video initially showed Christie standing athwart the flow of the crowd, yelling at a man off-camera.

“You’re a real big-shot!” shouted the governor, clutching an ice cream cone, “You’re a real big-shot, shooting your mouth off!”


“Nah, just take care of the teachers,” the man said before walking away.

“Yeah, keep walkin’ away,” Christie jeered at him, “Keep walkin’!”


At least he didn't start screaming "stop raping people." But it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

And by the way, this was shot with a phone and it doesn't look like there were very many people around, so this wasn't for the cameras. He really is like this.
