Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin threw a roundhouse at New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie Monday, calling his recent criticism of Newt Gingrich a “rookie mistake” — and saying he got his “panties in a wad” and “spewed” all over the former House Speaker.
We kid you not.
Palin made the outrageous comments on the Fox Business Network in an exclusive interview that airs tonight at 7 p.m. PST. Launching into Christie’s recent remarks that the former House Speaker was becoming an “embarrassment” to the GOP, she added: “I do care to take him to task — poor Chris. This was a rookie mistake. He played right into the media’s hands.”
“Here’s a host that asked Chris, ‘Does Newt embarrass the party.’ I think he asked him twice, and there Chris played right into it and spewed that about Newt embarrassing the party,” she fumed. “Sometimes if your candidate loses in just one step along this path, as was the case when Romney lost to Newt the other night and of course, Romney is Chris Christie’s guy, you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things that you regret later. And I think that that’s what Chris Christie did.”
Even wilder: Palin said that Christie’s remark “was reflective of a lack of self-discipline.”
“I’ve learned my lessons all along the way, too, and not responding, not playing into the media’s hands when they’re trying to get you to say something like is this candidate an embarrassment to your party?”
If there’s one consolation for the GOP here as the former vice presidential candidate levels a guy who is considered by many to be one of the strongest future GOP presidential candidates on the bench — well, maybe it’s that Palin finally says “no”

Nothing ‘outrageous’ or ‘wild’ about what Palin said, Christie’s comments clearly were unproductive for his candidate and for his future political prospects. But I guess thats how the media would perceive anything they disagree with.
Sarah is much more interesting.
Outrageous??? Well, I guess if you're a RINO Mittbot, or a member of the state-controlled media who wants Myth as the Republican sacrificial lamb, then OK.
The Republicans (AKA The Stupid Party) continue to ‘eat their own’.
LOL! and I thought Christie wore boxers or briefs...panties? rather Barney Frankish
BTW, the mental picture of Fatso Christie with his "panties in a wad" is at the same time hysterically funny AND incredibly disturbing.
Piss on Romney and all his sycophants
Even wilder
No bias here. Talk about PDS.
That reporter writes like she's riding the cotton pony.
Because he’s wearing Coulter’s panties.
Those must be some big, damn panties.
Christie just appointed DIVERSITY
candidates to the New Jersey supreme court.WHAT A LEFTIST !!
I guess he thinks being Gay or Black is more
important than their legal skill sets !
Thanks, now I’m blind.
Christie is another one of those northeast coast moderates. Besides that he needs to loose weight.
“We kid you not. “
No, Carla, We kid you not. Gettin’ nervous? lol
It’s hard to believe someone as smart as Ann Coulter actually wanted Christie to be her president.
Panties was the right call. I think Christie looks and sounds gay. Just an opinion.
Oh, look - another member of the “Shrews With Adam’s Apples” club, just like Ann Coulter. MORE than a coincidence?
