Your Governor Doesn't Work Weekends

Well, if Chris Christie is ever going to run for president, he's going to have to do better than this. Seriously better. Don't talk to me about how he keeps saying he's not running, the man is working overtime to keep Republicans frothing and drooling over his presidential aspirations. And I will tell you, if we're comparing chief executives, Barack Obama doesn't have the issue we now see Christie has, and would laugh himself silly over it. If Christie wants to compete, instead of, you know, flirting with competing, this shite won't fly.

See, the theme Christie's been hammering to death reduces the entire legislative branch (though we know it's really only the Democrats he really means) to not much more than his own private disappointment. For Chris Christie if the legislature isn't doing what he wants, they're doing ... nothing at all. Totally into the finger-wagging. At a "Town Hall" he issued a "Report Card" on the "do nothing legislature," issuing them an "incomplete" on a list of changes he wants enacted.

But now we find out the same guy who slams the "do nothing legislature" doesn't ...even ...work ...weekends. Jeff Pickens gets credit for shooting us this link. It seems on Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day, your governor did a little Q & A with some of the kids of state workers. He talked a little Mets, joked about running for President. Then, answering a kid, this:

Does the governor work on the weekends?
"No," the governor said...

Turns out he was working that weekend, but apparently usually doesn't. Really? That's just stunning news. I'm sorry, but if you run for chief executive - governor, president - you'd better be quite prepared to be available 24/7. And if you're not, STFU.

I'm thankful (0.00 / 0)

With the amount of harm this governor is imposing on us, I'm thankful he rests on weekends. I wish we could convince him not to work Monday through Friday too.

You know (1.00 / 1)

he needs some time off to stuff that fat pig face of his. You don't get a girly figure like that without some intense food shoveling. Eventually we'll be able to roll the fat pig out of New Jersey.

Isn't there enough (0.00 / 0)

we point out more constructively about the Governor without resorting to mean comments about his (or anyone else's) size, moustache, height, baldness, shoe choice, hem height or nail grooming?

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Quite right (0.00 / 0)

If CC were a nice guy, he'd be tons of fun, cuddly even.

There are a lot of great heavy people --let's lay off the fat jokes.

It's unworthy of folks who would never stoop to sexism, ethnic slurs, homophobia, racism, etc.

Forget his size, C.C. needs to lose about 150 lbs of evil.

(I am not fat, but I was hit repeatedly with an ugly stick.)

some reaction from the complacent pathetic people of New Jersey. I thought everyone was dead!

Sorry (0.00 / 0)

but Mr. Christie has spent the last two years calling me every name in the book and accusing me of all of the economic ills of New Jersey. I hate the man's guts. Sincerely, your local elementary school teacher.

Oh, man. (0.00 / 0)

I feel insulted by him also, particularly as a woman. But it must be particularly demoralizing to listen to and read about this governor if your daily work is as a teacher. My sympathies, really.

That's just counter-intuitive, William (0.00 / 0)

You're well-aware that Christie has made teachers a punching bag for whatever catch-all he says ails NJ. You don't have to read us to know that, use your Google.
