Will Christie join the "Acorn Pimp" and Joe "You Lie" Wilson at the Morristown Tea Party?

What a star studded lineup in Morristown this weekend as they'll hold yet another tea party:

Rep. Joe Wilson, who gained fame for heckling President Obama with the words "you lie" while Obama spoke about health care to a joint session of Congress last month, will join a rally Sunday in Morristown.

Famous or infamous? Either way, he'll be joined by another fox news icon:

Other speakers at the rally Sunday morning at George Washington's headquarters in Morristown include the "ACORN pimp," James O'Keefe of Westwood. O'Keefe posed as a pimp with a prostitute who visited offices of the community group ACORN with a hidden video camera.

But the question isn't who is attending, but rather who may not be there:

Wilson is expected to speak around 11:30 a.m. before attending a private fund-raiser, Weingarten said. Wilson's office confirmed the visit was planned.
Weingarten said Christie has not agreed to appear "even though he's only going to be half a mile away" on Sunday. Christie's campaign did not immediately respond to a call for comment.

There's a nice contrast. While Democrats hold events with President Obama, the Acorn Pimp and Congressman You Lie will rally the GOP base. And Christie will turn his back on them while they do it, instead attending a private fundraiser under a mile away.

Sunday is quite literally Obama vs. Wilson, Round 2 (0.00 / 0)

Where's Lonegan? (0.00 / 0)

It seems Christie won't appear with Lonegan either. Asked about whether he intends to campaign in the final days with New Jersey's #1 wingnut, Christie said, "I called Steve yesterday to check in with him."

Sounds like Lonegan is his probation officer.

Lonegan's 140,000 voters are walking away (0.00 / 0)

Chrisitie has ignored and denigrated the conservative wing of his Party at his own peril.

Now he needs their votes but he will not bring himself to standing with them .

Lonegan and his crowd are now sitting back and waiting to pick up the pieces of a destroyed State Republican Party.
