Quote of the Day: "Reality sometimes gets up and smacks you in the face"

Talking about Chris Christie's speech before the League of Municipalities in Atlantic City, Former Governor Christie Whitman offered this observation in Charles Stile's column:

"He's sending a message that he's willing to take on some of the sacred cows. And he needs to," former Republican Gov. Christie Whitman said. "But we'll see. Reality sometimes gets up and smacks you in the face."

That's right, we will see what reality does to Christie's promises. While she's talking about Christie and his tough rhetoric about taking on just about everyone, that statement applies on so many different levels beyond just Chris Christie and what he has said.

Typos, spacing issues, misspellings, incorrect word choices: Sure you don't belong at RedJersey?

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

Whitman (0.00 / 0)

is setting the stage as apologist. I'd like it if Christie fixed this state, but I have my doubts. He sounds so confident, he almost had me believing he could do it, then Whtman starts to pull back the message a bit.

BTW, Jersey Shore John, very funny comment.
