Media including the Los Angeles Times are reporting on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christies tirade against California Gov. Jerry Brown this morning as he addressed Californias delegation to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.:
California made the bad choice by going with an old retread, Christie told Californias delegation to the Republican National Convention here, a crowd that lapped up his message. Let me tell you this I cannot believe you people elected Jerry Brown over Meg Whitman. Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown? I mean, he won the New Jersey presidential primary over Jimmy Carter when I was 14 years old.Christie said the 74-year-old, three-term governor told him that hes not trying to raise taxes, that he is allowing voters to decide by putting a tax proposal on the ballot.
Man, thats leadership, isnt it? Christie said.
Seems like my story in todays editions about California being a popular GOP punching bag was timely, no?
A few observations: Christie governs a state that doesnt require two-thirds majorities of both houses of the Legislature in order to raise taxes. Californias GDP grew by 2 percent last year, while New Jerseys shrank by -0.5 percent. And Meg Whitman now presides over Hewlett-Packard, which last week reported its largest-ever quarterly loss $8.9 billion and is stumbling dangerously, according to the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg Businessweek.
Are we sure he didn’t say “retard”?
Jerry never had a tread to begin with.
California 1970’s
Gov. Moonbeam
Medfly Brown
And they put him back in......
“And they put him back in......”
Even Rondstadt wouldn’t do that today...
“Are we sure he didnt say retard?”
Not politically correct..........and that’s what i like about it!
LOL!
As Linda said when she left him,”Jerry,you know that sometimes less really is less...”
And looking at that chart, WV GDP grew by 4.6% even though mining was off considerably.
Something not quite right here.
Seriously, that's what I thought on first glance of the headline! That'd go over well with Sarah Palin, no?
The ol' retread might be happy about that...
Brown=Governor ‘moonbeam’, Linda Ronstadt’s old flame.
She’s a real screaming Liberal TOO.
WTF happened to her. Looks like she took up a job as quality control for Krispy Kreme...Wow!
I think the statement can be sharpened a tad to “a balding old retread”
It’s not Moonbeam anymore - it’s Jerry Geezer
Jerry Brown - that’s like putting a dead skunk in your trunk instead of a spare tire.
