Oh Dear, He’s Just a Regular Cowboy
Chris Christie is a nincompoop, so I deeply enjoyed seeing him try to be a “regular guy” by hugging Jerry Jones in the owner’s box after the Dallas game. Yes, regular guys sit in the owner’s box.
And the memes followed. My personal favorite —
And now the story gets even more juicy.
Less than two years before Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones paid for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s tickets and travel to NFL games, government documents show Christie personally pushed the Port Authority to approve a lucrative contract for a firm part-owned by Jones.
After IBTimes’ report, Christie officials acknowledged that Jones paid for Christie’s travel and tickets to recent Cowboys games. They assert that the gifts are legal under a separate executive order that aims to exempt gifts from “personal friends” of the governor.
So Christie loves the Cowboys but not enough to pay for his own ticket, like, you know, a regular guy.
He’s a nincompoop.
Thanks to Mark for the heads up.
Compliments of the Fab Five Supremes: money=speech.
1Lots of “talking” goin’ on there.
This is not going over so well with Jerseyites or even New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians. I swear he has a tin ear and it will bring his hopes of a Presidency down in a bottomless pit! But then, maybe the view of the stars far, far above is worth it for some people.
2Maggies’s right. One thing about Philly, NY & NJ, we’re tough but LOYAL. And we DO NOT like the Cowboys. At all.
Christie’s only loyal until he’s offered the next freebie.
Or doughnut.
3As a born Philly resident and still Iggles (Eagles) fan, I third maggie and Lorraine. He is not making friends in PA, NY, or I imagine most of Jersey with this.
And I’m not even going to comment on the ref picking up the yellow flag in that game….
4I’m a football fan, and probably read as much on the sport’s blogs… as politics on “non-blogs” like this one…..Because of the “reversed” (by the officials) Pass Interference Call first it was called AGAINST the Cowboys, and then reversed…. (which now even the NFL is criticizing). This call/non-call… is being labeled by a lot of football fans….”referee home cooking” and since the Cowboy’s ended up wining the ball game… most of what I’m reading on the sport’s blogs … in regard to the “group hug”…. is :”the fix was in.”
5Sometimes a flag is picked up, but this is the first time I’ve seen it done after the foul was announced. Reminds me of an old baseball story where the umpire called “Safe!” but signalled “Out” and then said the player was out. When the player objected, the Umpire said, “You and I know you were safe, but the whole stadium saw me signal out, so you’re out.”
6Reminded me of my fat chihuahua dry humping my leg.
7“nincompoop” seems such a mild way to describe the Bombast Ballast from New Jersey. First impressions can be fatal. Can’t fully recall the circumstances at a GOP conflating conflab. It could have been one of those Town Halls where the idiots speak and the idiots ask questions, but Gov Blimpo erupted on the stage “protecting a ‘little lady.'” Christie did himself in for me in that moment. Like hello, Bluto, the lady can speak for herself, she doesn’t need a moron bully to speak for her. Idiot Christie is a dumbass; there’s room for protecting women, then there’s the gaffe of unnecessary assistance. You ladies at the WMDBS can speak more eloquently on the subject, so I can only hope you know what I meant to say.
Football aside, seen humping anyone’s leg can’t be a positive for a Republican candidate. Can it?
8Ms JJ,did you say wingnut and executive order in the same article? But,but that’s unconstitutional when a black guy does it.
9I have known of Jones longer than I have known of Christie. So I dislike Jones more based on that. He moved me from being rabid Cowboy fan to not being a fan of football at all.
10I have been a Cowboys fan from the first (Hey we finally got a team in this part of the country!) but Jerry Jones keeps making it harder for me. It started when he fired Tom Landry, and went from there. I keep trying, but this with Chris Christie doesn’t help.
11I had to take some anti nausea pills after seeing that monstrosity in the red tent making love to Jerry’s leg. I can’t unsee that disgusting sight and I for one in New Jersey hope he goes down in flames one of these days.
12Didn’t Texas already name a town after the Joisey Goob-Corpulent Christie?
13I had to laugh looking at that photo; the old guy in the middle looks really irritated, and he’s got his hand clamped on the red sweater sleeve like he’s trying to break it off!
14What’s up with Jones’ zipper? ooooooo, never mind
