Christie Goes on Expletive-Filled Rant in Front of Large Crowd

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/05/22/1386743/-Christiegate-Christie-Goes-on-Expletive-Filled-Rant-in-Front-of-Large-Crowd

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) gave a speech on Wednesday full of vulgarities directed at reporters over the George Washington Bridge scandal, New Jersey's finances, and his travel history.

"We don't give a s--- about this or any of you," Christie told a crowd of 350 people at the Hamilton banquet hall on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg Politics. The event was an annual event in New Jersey which features a roast of the sitting New Jersey governor. Elected officials, journalists, and lobbyists attend the event.

The New Jersey governor said one journalist should "open your eyes" and "clean the s--- out of your ears."

"This is a guy who says he doesn't know what I'm doing every day," Christie said of another journalist according to the Bloomberg report. "Then just get the f--- away from me if you don't know what I'm doing."

Even Fred wouldn't have used those words. Yaba Daba Doo!

I hope the people of NJ get to keep him since they want him so bad.

Fred was the Jackie Gleason of Bedrock! He had nuance, and pathos, and he loved his wife Wilma!

CC is just a crude asshole who embarasses his state--he makes the Jersey Shore brawlers look like they graduated from Milton Academy or Miss Porter's School!

He can only, err.....Well honestly, it seems to me that the worse he is in public the more the MSM and Republican voters appear to want more of it from him. I don't think they really see him as the obtuse and disgusting clown he's become. It seems they think he's defying the powers-that-be rather like a cruder version of George Wallace (imagine that!). Could he be the VP choice in the making?

I'm no fan, but this is a non-issue. If you care (and can stand it), listen. It's just jokey responses to the roast jokes.

If Barack Obama is the Jerry Seinfeld of the political world, Christie is the Andrew Dice Clay. Foul mouthed, repetitive and not funny.
