How about all the parents working two jobs and don't have a helicopter to take him to events?

1. My first thought, too. He doesn't give a crap that working class parents can't afford to see THEIR

5. Nonsense.
The plane she used was recommended by the House security team. Nancy isn't using her position to land a helicopter on a football field so she can watch a kid play sports.

This asshole can't be allowed to complain about waste, cut services and then get a pass on this nonsense.

6. He's Not Walking His Talk
Apparently he doesn't walk at all. However it's the hypocrisy that's at the core of this matter and I bet it will hang in the background. He's building up a resume for overreach which goes back to his US Attorney days and it will all be used against him at some point.

7. You will get yourself into the trap. Dems say X, then, if they dont start doing X, unilaterally

21. Except, As I Say, There Is A Trend Developing

10. LOL
Apparently he doesn't walk at all. You got that right! Which is why he will not run for president.

19. Now that he was caught. Is he going to pay back for the 100 yard ride to the field?
What was a car doing there waiting for him anyway?

3. "How about all the parents working two jobs and don't have a helicopter to take him to events?"
Those are the suckers paying for Christie's private air taxi to his personal events and political meetings.

You'd think that the arrogant bastard would have been run out of Trenton on a rail by now. But the suckers just keep praising King Crisco while he screws them and laughs and continues to get away with a governorship that appears to be more criminal enterprise than leadership.

Chris Christie's governorship is the gubernatorial equivalent of George W. Bush's presidency. Worst president in U.S. history meets worst governor in New Jersey history.

4. Well, but only until the fifth inning
Then he had to skedaddle to a much more important gathering with campaign donors. Mustn't be late for that!

9. That breaks down to a petty tit for tat. Obama should be doing what we pay his ass to do, not
campaign.

15. Christie is a bully. He used the helicopter to intimidate the other team.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 04:23 PM by no_hypocrisy
Or at least to distract them.

Just driving to the game doesn't have the same effect.

18. His "kids" were also the excuse when he abandoned NJ to Old Man Winter's assault
Seems like a "family-man"
such as he, should maybe start up an internet business in his basement, and become Mr. Mom-Stay-at-home-Dad:rofl:

Let someone else be governor..

20. And I am sure his kid was embarrassed as hell
I would be if I had that pathetic excuse of a governor as father.
