Booing the bully boy
by digby
Poor Christie. To think people actually used to believe he could be president:
It was not a good day at the races Sunday for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).
The Republican presidential candidate was on hand for the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey, where he presented a trophy to first-place finisher American Pharoah's handlers. While the crowd of more than 60,000 cheered for the Triple Crown winner, the governor elicited "long," "loud," "sustained" booing, according to NJ.com.
The record-setting crowd booed yet again when Christie's name was brought up in the American Pharoah team's victory speech, according to the news site.
They just can't stand the guy. In New Jersey. His home. And if they don't like him there, where else could they possibly like him?
And anyway, if people want to vote for an asshole for president, Lord knows they have a whole bunch of them to choose from, starting with the King of Jerks, Donald Trump. John Kasich is a total creep, Carly Fiorina is known to be a nasty piece of work and Mike Huckabee can make Christie look like a blubbering baby all with a creepy grin on his face. Christie's just another in a crowded field of Republican blowhards these days.
