New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

Yesterday at a political rally, New Jersey governor Chris Christie called one of his constituents - Iraq Navy Seal veteran and current Rutgers-Camden University law student William Brown - an "idiot."

Hmmm . . . what is it about this Christie fella that makes me think that engaging in a game of name-calling might not be to his advantage?

Case in point: "Hey Governor! Is that your half-sister pictured with you? Oh - wait. I guess that technically *all* of your sisters are half of you!"

[boom-boom CHISS!]

On a separate note, if our higher education system has turned our current crop of law students into "sluts" and "idiots" then President Obama may want to re-think his hopes for every young person receiving a college education.

Just a thought.


"Damn, man, I'm governor, could you just shut up for a second?!"
