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.”

Sounds like a post-election 2008 FR thread about Sarah.
If Christie ever runs for national office, I will not forget these past ten days. They tell me all I need to know.
What this fat bastard doesn’t understand is that he was used by 0bama for photo-op, NJ and NY is still a disaster, 1 million without power, heat, gasoline, shelter, etc.
What was he thanking him for ?

My bet for the New Democrat party candidate in 2016.
He is thanking Obama for bringing that big check with him.
Christy is like a play yard bully. Some little kid punches him in the nose and he runs off crying. This time it was Sandy that punched him and he started crying.
Thing is, Palin actually had cause for complaint and none were heard until well after the election. Christie’s popping off while the vote is still ongoing and the accuracy of his statements is yet to be seen.
Now, who’s the loose cannon again, lol?
Romney would take pleasure in wiping his backside with that fat slob!
CC has PTS - get the man some whiskey quick
Was the hugging and groping necessary?
This guy needs to be kicked off the team “with prejudice”.
Christie’s obvious true feelings about “not” being picked for VP has been showing ever since Sandy.
The coward did not have enough courage to run for president himself and planned on riding Mitt’s coattail into the WH and then having an easy ride to the presidency after 8 yrs of being his VP. He is done as a republican, IMO.
Absolutely not
Wow, I never imagined I’d be so defensive of Romney. Or even optimistic about him! I know he isn’t the conservative I’d like, but he is growing on me. Ok, has GROWN on me.
So on that note, STFU Chrissie boy.
This guy had me snookered (is that the word?).
Wonder what Ann Coulter thinks of “her boyfriend” now?
Chris “Charlie Crist” Christie. FU
Christie’s photo-op-fest with Obama was just an attempt burnish his own re-election or climb up the ladder.
Christie sold out his party, his buddy Romney, and - worst of all- the people of his state and of this country for his own bald political gain.
Ptui!
I tend to agree. Thanks for the reasonable response.
