He Works Hard For The Money
Chris Christie, y’all.
There’s an article in the New York Times this morning about Chris Christies’ ability to go first class on others people’s money. It’s kinda stunning.
As he has traveled more widely, particularly during the last year, when he led the Republican Governors Association, Mr. Christie’s first-class tastes have become well known. He made it clear when he campaigned for Mr. Romney in 2012 that he would do out-of-state events only if he was given a private plane, even during the primary, when the candidate’s wife was still flying commercial to save money. The Romney campaign came to understand that he preferred a Cessna Citation X, which, its manufacturer boasts, has exotic wood interiors and a Rolls-Royce engine.
His explanation for all this lavish lifestyle, some of it on the taxpayer dollar?
“I try to squeeze all the juice out of the orange that I can.”
Put the damn orange down, Christie. You’ve had enough.
Thanks to David for the heads up.
