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.
