Chris Christie takes state helicopter to son’s baseball game , page 1

New Jersey governor Chris Christie--who has made government reform a major talking point of his administration--is coming under fire for his decision to travel in a state-owned helicopter to his son's high school baseball game Monday.

According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Christie landed in the state's $12.5 million helicopter just before the game began, buzzing over the trees in left field and distracting spectators. The GOP governor then got into a black sedan with tinted windows, which drove him about 100 yards to the baseball diamond.

Flanked by bodyguards, Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, watched the game from the stands until they left during the 5th inning. The two got back into the car and rode back to the helicopter. According to the Star-Ledger, the game was stopped for a "couple of minutes" while the helicopter took off.

Yes, both sides of the aisle are guilty of doing this nonsense...but what I find most incredible is that the lazy bum couldn't walk the length of a football field to the damn game...actually had a vehicle to take him back and forth from the helicopter to the ballpark and back.....as apparently 100 yards IS TOO FAR!!!!!

SO MUCH FOR THE SACRIFICING EH BUD???

He's obviously sacrificing his ass off and making the tough decisions to save his state's budget!!!!

mmmm pork chops. with beans and rice I hope? maybe some potatos? MMMM and a biscuit.


Give Christy a break, hes obviously too..(be friendly).."big boned" to do any kind of strenuous activity including getting out of the car and walking to the bleachers only to have to walk up and down them and walking back to his car again.

I bet his son was real proud.
(hell, maybe he was because his dad actually showed up; unlike 80% of the worlds deadbeat fathers)

But Christy...come on man.....you are supposed to be a politician, you should have known better being the education monster that you are. YOU JUST DONT DO THESE THINGS. It makes you look like a complete
waste of taxpayer money; And a four letter word.

My opinion on this guy is still undecided. This didnt sway it one way or another when it comes to his politics.
It does however, make me question his decision making process in a big way.

The guy is smart, hes just not that bright.
Big suprise right...hes a politician.
