Never knew Christie was Italian
I don’t care for racial “advocacy” groups, especially not for groups that are barely even a subculture, let alone an ethnicity. But that cover is stupid. I don’t know why they always have to have these close-ups with blank stares that make people look like weirdos.
If it’s a lib they’ll usually soften the image, leave it a little out if focus. But they do it to them, too. Warren Buffet, I remember, looked like a troll on one cover or another. They gave Paling a disturbingly extreme close up, with the excuse that they were zooming in on her daring, or something which related to the article. But she was still hot, so no harm.
He was always a one trick pony. A loudmouth who would argue and give smart remarks to union teachers. So everyone thought he was something he wasn’t. Beyond that one thing that made him famous, he might as well be a democrat. And he is FAR too cozy with moslems.
He thinks he can redeem himself after his treachery a few days before the election. He is finished. Besides, no way a slob like that could get voted president.
It appears the shrill cry of racism is not only found in the Amish.
I don’t even think a centerfold could capture all his “greatness”....(s)
Since the IA community took first dibs, I guess Springsteen is out of luck for the gripe fest over the magazine appropriating his street name.
Cake “Boss”
Dat fat guy on dat mag eat too many canoli. Bada-bing.
His mother of Sicilian descent (Grasso). His father is of Scottish and Irish descent.
why does anyone still read TIME magazine?
The Krays. Don't mess wif dem.
He talks like a wannabe wiseguy why shouldn’t he be portrayed that way?
Quite frankly, I do no see what Christie did post Sandy that everyone is raving about.
Supplies were not pre-positioned, even with a week;s notice of the storm. The NJ Transit officials who parked the rolling stock in the lowest yard in the system for the storm, are still n the job after one third of the rolling stock and engines were flooded.
Gasoline station lines after Sandy were longer than in 1974, the first gas crisis.
If it were not for the churches and civic groups that organized REAL relief efforts in the days and weeks after the storm, the event would have been a total disaster. And based on emails between his office and me, he still refuses to believe that non-union utility crews were turned away from NJ by the unions, in spite of documented evidence proving the point. FEMA has been another disaster inflicted on NJ, but Christie saves his ire for John Boehner and the GOP. No mention of Harry Reid holding up the aid bill and then porking it up to an almost unrecognizable state.
It turns out that Hurricane Irene in 2011 was a dress rehearsal for Tropical Storm Sandy a year later, and Irene was another disaster, with hundreds of thousands without power for a week or more. In densely populated NJ, that is unbelievable. Obviously, lessons were not learned.
He is like a male Christine Todd Whitman.Another GOP wonder who ended up disappointing greatly.
His shameless pandering to the Traitor-in-Chief was disgusting. And to Bruce Springsteen as well.
Other than a few photo-ops, he really did not spend a whole lot of time at the shore, even though Trenton is only one hour away to the west.
I left Jersey six years ago, but have family still there, in Toms River, which was hit hard by Sandy(8,000 structures destroyed in a town of about 100,000). They all want to leave.
The shame of it is, NJ is one of the most beautiful states in the USA—it has everything-—tremendous beaut, mountains, farms, vistas,beaches, history going back almost 350 years—— once you leave the Turnpike corridor, but it has been pillaged by both parties for the last 30 years.
If you meet somebody from Jersey and can't automatically "place" them ethnically, Irish or Italian are as good a place as any to start.
In any case, Chris Christie certainly didn't look much like Tom Kean or Christine Todd Whitman or any Frelinghuysen.
He fit on the cover?
