One of the most delightful developments of the past week has been seeing New Jersey Governor Chris Christie get evicted from the Republican Party for the crime of being respectful and grateful (in the wake of a hurricane that devastated his state) to the president of the United States, who is a known black person.
<i>&ldquo;You can&rsquo;t tell me he couldn&rsquo;t have gone over there for a night rally,&rdquo;</i> Yeah, he was totally down partying with those FEMA phone calls.
You remember that movie when the kid who was unhappy with the baseball game said &quot;I&#039;m just going to take my ball and bat and go home&quot;? And then another, rather uncool kid said &quot;You do that Tommy, because I have a bat and a ball of my own RIGHT HERE and we will carry on without you&quot;? And you remember how great you felt that Tommy was getting put in his place? Well actually that movie didn&#039;t happen (as far as I know) but if it had, this would been just like it.
My liver?
Yeah, but don&#039;t forget, Handsome Joe did the same thing in 2008, running for his senate seat.
Oh come on, Canada isn&#039;t THAT bad.
also, he&#039;s too big and mean to worry about the right fringe.
many of whom will presumably be dead.
i worry too (though i refuse to read any right wing blogs). but as everyone below says, nate silver has a fine track record.
for sure, nate silver&#039;s reputation will be cemented one way or another.
Did I forget the &copy;? Damn ... looks like you&#039;re in the clear.
C&#039;mon, Jeebus freaks: less whining, more praying. That <i>always</i> works!
And go change your magic undies...
Since wingnutz are now so down on Christie, he&#039;s thinking of running as a 3rd, 4th and 5th party candidate.
Nate Silver uses math. They solve problems by asking Jeebus for help. Place your bets.
As if...!
I KNEW I&#039;d seen her before this race. Starred in &quot;Clueless.&quot;
i swear to god soros your posts in particular have kept me positive this campaign.
and by positive i mean &#039;not seriously thinking about death or canada&#039;.
The big fat idiot called the big fat idiot a big fat idiot? You just gotta love Republicans.
so i think christie&#039;s reaction was a sincere one and done for NJ and as a leader.
however, i ALSO think the collateral damage with the republican party is a carefully considered boost to his 2016 campaign.
