Charles P Pierce- The Passion Of Big Chicken: Nothing Left But The Sad Recriminations
Chris Christie's prospective presidential campaign has sunk so deep that James Cameron can't find it. (Somebody over the weekend even opined that what Christie really is angling for is a gig as a TV pundit.) So he dropped by CPAC this afternoon to show America what it's going to be missing.
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, sitting across from Christie onstage, listed a string of words used in the press to describe him ("explosive, short tempered, hot head, impatient."
"The word they miss is passionate," Christie said.
"But, sit down and shut up?" Ingraham shot back
"Yeah, well, sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shut up," the governor said as the audience applauded.
Christie milked it, adding at "some more of that stuff should be happening in DC," particularly directed at the Obama administration.
"Someone should say it's time to shut up," Christie said of those inside the White House, to even greater applause.

I can think of a number of other words that "the press" has missed in describing him. This can be blamed in many cases on FCC regulations.
It's become rather pathetic to watch Big Chicken come to the painful realization that reality and mathematics can't be bullied into silence. There's no room for him at the inn now that Jeb (!)'s come to call, because The Base doesn't trust him since he got Obama cooties on him during Superstorm Sandy. The state that he putatively governs is heating up a kettle for him. His blowhard personality is all he has left.
