Chris Christie defends using state helicopter to attend son's baseball game
So GOP Action Hero Chris Christie didn't just take a publicly-funded state helicopter to his son's baseball game, he didn't just interrupt the game in the fifth inning so that he could take off from a nearby ballfield, but instead of walking the extra 300 feet, he also drove a car from the helicopter to his seat in the stands:

According to the broadcast posted above, a Christie spokesman said there was "nothing inappropriate" about Christie's use of the state helicopter to attend his son's baseball game, but can you imagine the tongue lashing Chris Christie would have delivered to any school teacher who had done anything remotely similar?

I guess one thing is clear: when Chris Christie talks about fiscal austerity, he's only talking about fiscal austerity for the little people. He's certainly not talking about himself.

Had to ddrive the extra 300 feet to the stands. No wonder he has a bit of a weight problem.

1. I think it was the 100-yard car ride that stuck out most for me.
He's either profoundly lazy, or profoundly self-important, or most likely both.

5. Just look at the guy
I'm pretty out of shape myself but I'll be damned if I'd ever take a car 100 yards anywhere. Chris Christie is a massive ego with body to match.

2. "Walk to the stands?! This wasn't part of the deal."
Stand by for the inevitable bleat about "security."

4. He learned from pigboy Limbaugh--never apologize
Or admit you did anything wrong.
