New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday slammed the “know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers” who in a Huffington Post story on Monday accused him of snubbing Mitt Romney by skipping Sunday’s rally in Pennsylvania.
Christie, a vocal backer of Romney, said during a press conference that he told the Republican presidential nominee before Hurricane Sandy hit that he would likely be unavailable for the rest of the campaign.
“I said to him, ‘Listen, Mitt, if this storm hits the way I think it’s going to, I’m off the campaign trail from here to Election Day,’ ” Christie recalled. “And he said to me, ‘Chris, of course. That’s what you have to do. Do your job. Don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of things.’ So all this other noise, I think, is coming from know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers who, you know, don’t like the fact that I said nice things about the president of the United States. Well, that’s too bad for them.”

TOOL.
Christie is only digging himself a deeper hole be buried in when the next election comes. Stabbing supporters in the back and pandering to Obama is NOT the way to get re-elected.
CC now slamming Romneyites
well....
Shut up Christie.
Im so sick of this loud mouth clown.
What is wrong with this moron? Why can’t he wait until after election day to grouse?
Christie: STFU and go have a doughnut (or twelve). You’ve placed a restrictor plate on your political career.
Stuff your mouth with a hoagie and shut up, Christie!
Christy was between the rock and hard place...attend the rally....get bashed by libs......respond to a tweet....get bashed by the libs....
...all the recent Christy bashing is being pushed by the MSM because they know he’s doing what Odungo didn’t..
By the way, is there no LIVE thread tonight? The site seems to be doing fine, but where is everybody?
As a Republican, he is dead to me.
If Obama wins, the blame will be placed fairly at his feet.
It’s all about Christie, for Christie. Otherwise he would have held his tongue until the election is decided.
Remember, the ONLY reason we like Christie is that he bad mouths people we think deserve bad mouthing.
Not a really good foundation for a long term relationship.
Gas bag Crispy Creme needs to STFU after his hugging & sucking on odongo like he was a popsicle or something.
He should just sign on as a Rat and be done with it.
Christie needs to quit running his mouth on election day.
He should have had the smarts to be less “public” about his gushing for Obama in an effort to get aide. Just going out with him would have been enough.
He is not showing very good political savy in the least...and its is hurting not only him, but the country as well.
He should wait until afterwrds to address these grievances with Romney’s staff, and should have waited until Obama actually did something more than a photo op to gush all over him.
This jerk is all about “self”, I believe he will flip to the other party. Like he hasn’t already....
LLS
What is his problem? Does he have to say this stuff now, in the waning hours of an important election? Can’t he stifle himself for just a day if he has to keep it going? And doesn’t he have other things to be worrying about, like crying for Bruce Springsteen?
I hate political staffers. They’re paid to be on tap, not on top, and I think way too many of them forget that.
Nuts.
I bet Christie endorses Obama tomorrow morning — and there goes New Jersey.
We seem to have to learn that lesson over and over. Maybe one day it’ll stick.
