Governor Pudgy Makes a Bet
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is hollering “Try and stop me!” to the United States Department of Justice.
I don’t think that’s smart. They probably have elephant guns. I mean, I dunno know that for sure, but they can probably bring down a medium sized airplane or a tank and that’s Christie weight division.
Christie says that he’s gonna allow sports betting in his state even though a 1992 federal law allows sports betting in only 4 states and New Jersey ain’t one of them.
“We intend to go forward,” the Republican governor said. “If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us. We want to work with the casinos and horse racing industry to get it implemented.”
Dude, just admit the mob has you in their back pocket. Okay, maybe not their pocket. Maybe a wheelbarrow they pull around with a nuclear powered motor on it.
Actually, I might want to join in on some sports betting. I’m willing to put a five dollar cash American bill on table on whether or not Chris Christie can play a sport. Any sport. Hell, I’d pay $5 to watch him get out of a La-Z-Boy unassisted.
Really. Make you? My, my, that’s big talk for a kid who can’t run very fast.
Thanks to David for the heads-up.
He must have had big bucks riding on that little league game he took a helicopter to…
1Wonder if he eats a lot of Italian food?
2Do they make La-z-boys that big? There’s a picture of him sitting on a beach in a bathing suit floating around the internet machine, a copy of which posted on a frig would work better than any diet.
3What I don’t get is why Christie is daring the DOJ to stop him from doing anything? The man can barely move. Even if he was being chased, wouldn’t the DOJ employees just shoot the wheels out from underneath whatever wheeled object he was moving himself about on?
4I’m afraid the guv is gonna “squeal like a pig” before all is said and done.
5Christie the Snowman,
6Is a very Important Guy,
He can hit and run ya,
and get away while you cry,
Looks like he got lots of gold medals in competitive eating.
7Okay, we’ve had the fat jokes. Isn’t it more important that this is a governor defying the federal government to make him obey the law?
8Of course it is, Rhea.
9And he was formerly the U.S. Attorney in New Jersey, supposedly the chief federal law enforcement officer.
10LOL! Thank you, Juanita, more making my day!! I actually had a great day today, and reading this post was icing on a delicious cake! Ummm, cake….
11I’m not one to look on “fat jokes” favorably, but this man is thought to be a serious contender for the presidency in 2016. It would worry me immensely that a man of that size would have 2 strikes against him regarding his health and the stress of the job he so obviously wants. He really scares me. If he gets to be president, I’ll be very scared on several fronts.
12I’m with Rhea.
13Yes, he’s pudgy, but the thing that gets me is he is so smug and arrogant. If he gets the Republican nomination, the VP choice need to be totally vetted.
14Yup, its the arrogance and the nastiness that bothers me.It is the republican arrogance again. This man once was the person that enforced the laws of NJ?
And he ‘telling’ the US government that he will break the law?
His state is hurting badly. He wants easy money without raising taxes. So he can brag in 4 more years, “look what I
15did !”
Now y’all, he is just committing an act of civil disobedience so he can get the law changed. You know, like the civil rights movement and all? OK OK, I know and you know this is not even close to the moral equivalent, nor is he even remotely like MLK, but we must make a few allowances. After all, IOKIYAR.
16OK, I’ll lay off the fat jokes (like calling him Chris ExtraCrispy or Chris KrispyKreme or the New Jersey Death Star), but I am worried…if this guy ever becomes President, will someone have to find William Howard Taft’s White House bathtub?
17Can we send him to visit Jimmy Hoffa??
18I’ll quit with the fat jokes when he stops throwing his weight around. He is an attention ho.
19Makes no sense to me, none, whatsoever, that the GOP has this absurd idea that GuvKrispyKreme is attractive to voters outside his “family” of NJ RWNJs. He is most unpleasant, his personality lacks as much to be desired as does his “walking cardiac arrest” physique….
20Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the casinos in his State not doing so well since the Indians in CT put theirs up?
21He thinks sport betting will bring in the cash?
And the little guys he is squeezing are the ones who do the many small bets.
Even if it was legal (which according to the Feds it isn’t in his State) It looks like a bad business plan.
It’s genuinely peculiar that Republicans want no laws restricting money and tons of laws restricting sex. Though I can understand why Christie would have that priority.
22I’m gonna go with the “attention ho” comment.
I would be surprised if he had any effect on the top of the Republican ticket….
Do they really need two bullies????
23It seems Christie has no compunction about wasting federal taxpayer dollars that will be spent shutting down his darn fool scheme. The story about the mule and the 2×4 needed to get his attention comes to mind. It pains me to admit I have an older brother who is just like Christie in looks and temperament.
24During my unfortunate 15-year exile on the East Coast due to, well, you know, me and my husband having to pay the bills and that was where his job was, I spent six of those years in northern New Jersey. I really loved New York City. Great, nice, helpful people all over. Just a real pleasure. New Jersey needs to be subdivided between Pennsyltucky and New York, IMNSHO. Everyone there says Southerners are still fighting the Civil War. Well, I never once brought it up, but you’re darn tootin’ they did every chance they got. And then had the balls to say they couldn’t understand what I was sayin’! My next door neighbor left me a voicemail once and the only word I understood was “dwag”–dog. All that to say Christie is just yer typical NJ hack and I won’t say where he’s getting his extra income cuz concrete boots make my feet look big. I will say, though, that I don’t like how he blocks the sun.
25Gale C., loved your post. I want to borrow “concrete boots make my feet look big.” Okay?
