Gotta love it!!!
Crispy Cream snubbed by his hero...
Christie’s Springsteen adoration was the first of many red flags. The guy is an A-hole.

Mortifying?......I’d say it’s more hysterical than anything. Lol!
Both are epic losers.
Tubbs will never live that pic down....and rightfully so
I have no love for Romney, but he did that to sabotage him.
RightSideOfCenter, US, 18h ago I seriously thought Springsteen was Ellen DeGeneres for a minute in that picture.
Like a snake ignoring a rat.
I had a couple of buddies that avoided the draft by showing up side by side like that. LOL!
Similar a-holes repel one another
They deserve each other.
He should have taken Thornton Melon’s advice:
“If you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people.”
This is hilarious 😂😆
If you want to look thin...
“I gotta get bigger actors.”
(For a brief instant, Christie appeared hopeful that one of his musical heroes might acknowledge him in front of thousands of fans.)
I am certainly NO fan of Democrat Bruce Transgender Bathroom Springsteen but maybe 🤔🤔🤔 Springsteen thought that Chris Christie looked hungry, so ... Survival Instinct kicked in
