During a town hall meeting in New Hampshire Monday, Christie took a question from a woman who claimed she once attended school in Pennington, New Jersey. The woman asked on behalf of her family and friends at the Shore, "Why are you here in New Hampshire campaigning instead of there, helping to survey the damages done by the coastal flooding from the storm?"

"Because it's already done," Christie replied. "It's already done. Tell me why you think it isn't."

The woman told Christie her friends and family had sent her videos and pictures of flooding "all over the state." "All over the state?" Christie replied. "Really? There's been one county that's flooded in the state. That was Cape May County. So I don't know where from all over the state, since we have 21 counties, where that's happened. Second, I don't know what you expect me to do. You want me to go down there with a mop?"

Do the job for which the people of New Jersey elected you rather than hang around a race where you’re a sideshow, Fat Boy!

If Oblowhard stopped by Cape May, you can be sure Christie would be there hand-in-hand taking another stroll on the beach.

That’s ridiculous- Cheney owns the machine. Or maybe it was all of Obama’s windmills.

Jimmy Carter cleaned up two mile island with his yellow boots on so why not!
************************

President Jimmy Carter: Hmm. Sounds to me a lot like a Pepsi Syndrome. Were there any soft drinks in the control room?

Matt: Okay. You’ve got me. You’re too smart for me, Mr. President, sir. I spilled a large Coke to go on the control panel.

Ross Denton: Well, there you have it, Mr. President. Human error. No offense, Matt.

Rosalyn Carter: Well, I guess that’s it, Jimmy. We figured it out now. Let’s get out of here please.

President Jimmy Carter: Just a couple more minutes, sweetheart. I don’t get to do this everyday. Matt, right now, what is the level of radiation inside the containment vessel?

Matt: Well Mr. President, we don’t know. The large Coke knocked out all our monitoring systems, and no one’s been able to go inside of the room.

President Jimmy Carter: Well, I’d like to go in and check it out. I’ve never seen the core of a water cooler reactor.

Ross Denton: Uh, Mr. President, it may be dangerous in there.

Rosalyn Carter: Oh look, Jimmy, why don’t we just visit the Hershey factory?

President Jimmy Carter: Please, huh? I think I know how to handle myself around a nuclear facility. Besides, I’m protected. [ lifts his leg to reveal he’s wearing rubber boots ] I’ve got my little yellow boots on. I wanna go in and take a peek.

Ross Denton: All right. Matt, do you think it’s really safe in there?

Matt: You’re asking the wrong guy. I don’t know.

President Jimmy Carter: Don’t worry. I won’t be long.

Rosalyn Carter: Be careful, Jimmy. [ Jimmy Carter nods, then goes into the control room ]

Ross Denton: You’ve got quite a husband there, Mrs. Carter.

Rosalyn Carter: Yes I know.

Matt: You sure do, ma’am.

Ross Denton: You know, you could have brought Amy. I think she would’ve had a ball!

Rosalyn Carter: Oh well, Jimmy wanted to bring her, but well, she’s got school, and besides, what if one day, Amy wants to have children?

Ross Denton: Mrs. Carter, well, maybe you can just bring Amy home a Two Mile Island T-shirt [ shows T-shirt that says, “I SURVIVED 2 MILE ISLAND” ]

I just talked to a friend who lives a few miles from Atlantic City and she was burning mad about Christie Creme's response to the flooding and said that a lot of town mayors were ready to hang him.

Earth to Christie: These pictures don't lie, so why must you?

Gov. Chris Christie decreed on national TV this morning that the flood damage in South Jersey is a mirage.

"There is no residual damage, there is no flooding damage," the governor snarled when a reporter asked why he was back in New Hampshire so soon.

Christie: 'No concern' for flooding from storm Youtube video 0:58

"I don't know what you expect me to do. You want me to go down there with a mop?"

Maybe you could at least call your good buddy Obama for a photo op.

This ranks right up there with Hillary's "wipe a server with a cloth or something" quote.
