Well said Maggie. I couldn't have said it better. He is one angry person and needs professional help in that area as well as his eating habits.

He is loved all over the World though. He must be doing something right. By the way I am a Democrat.

Maggie

This man is loved all over the world. Enjoy your vacation since the school year is over for you teachers.

He is loved all over the world? Really Big Daddy... did you travel around the world and conduct a poll to prove this or are you just making a blanket statement with absolutely no validity. Reading the comments on this thread shows he is not even loved in his own state.....

Sorry, Big Daddy. I am NOT a teacher. Just telling it the way it is. Being arrogant and virtually throwing your weight around, bullying people, is not the way a good politician should behave. Not that we have many good politicians ...

He's immature and has no class. He should toss that ice cream cone and grow up.

That video just cost him any position even close to the Whitehouse. He will now never be President or Vice President. People in NJ might put up with his behavior, but the rest of the nation won't. As for Christie's performance as a Governor, I'm not feeling it. Here's how to tell if he's effective in the future (if he's elected again) NJ is always on lists, such as "The states with the highest insurance premiums list" and NJ is always either first or second. When I see NJ being tenth on the list, then I know he's doing his job. Or maybe the "State with the highest property tax" list, we are always on the top of that one. When I see NJ listed as fifteenth on that list, then I know that Christie has been doing his job. So far, after four years in office we are still on the top of all those lists. What does that tell you?

IDIOT!!!

i really like christie but his attitude will and should come back to bite him when he decides to run for vice pres or president

Ahhh, Maggie, Ellen...I suppose you are certified in these fields. Or just ...perfect??

JWBrick....that video cost the Gov. A ticket to the White House? You may be right ...but what a shame. I would have voted him in to the VP seat just to rid the NJ teachers of unfair, unjust and insulting treatment of the very people who are teaching our children how to be reasonable, educated and responsible citizens!!! Let the whole USA deal with this hot mess...not just NJ. What an example for the youth of NJ!

To Brick

Just how would you have him lower auto insurance costs? By Fiat? How about saying how much can be charged for a loaf of bread or that six pack? Government can't control or determine pricing of private companies unless you want to nationalize them (another great idea?) or marshal law. Get real, with the densest state in the country (maybe he can order people out of the state) we have a very large number of accidents, not to mention the insurance fraud that is fueled by the ambulance chasers.

I hope he takes our mayor " Stevie I Wonder " with him to therapy, cause the mayor is the president of the " BULLY CLUB "

Hey Big Daddy,
Heroin is loved all over he world too.

I like him ..for once we have someone who don't hide behind doors and comment by the press..He's out there setting folks straight ..The other fellow was wrong also ..The man was spending time with his family not a political event ..leave him alone..just like actors with the camera's in there face when they just want to be alone to relax..Alex would have had him up against a wall..

AMEN Maggie

Just like Rudy Guillani and Donald Trump, when they are offended in the slightest or you don't agree with them, they throw a fit and start name calling and that's why they will never get in to the White House. Chris Christie is an embarrassment to himself, his family, and to our state because of his lousy attitude. I get why he got upset, but just about everyone has a camera phone and what would just be a local incident with a few witnesses is now available to everyone on the planet if they feel like checking out on the internet. Chris Christie represents our state and he's held to a higher standard, so he should and more importantly, is EXPECTED to act accordingly. If he doesn't like it, then he should step down from public office.

Maggie, NJEA is a total embarrassment to this state.

The proper response for a leader would be to stay above the fray and respond maturely, but Christie loves to get into the weeds whenever the opportunity presents itself. On the radio, he will sometimes speak to needing to work together, but it's become apparent that all that is is rhetoric. Christie is part of the Limbaugh generation that declares anyone who thinks differently than they is an enemy of the state and should be ridiculed, mocked and shunned.

THE HEAT AND BEING TWICE HIS IDEAL BODY WEIGHT ( OR JUST FAT ) MAKES HIM AN ANGRY FAT MAN

It was nice of someone to supply a video of HALF of the incident. No one posting here actually knows what the other guy said, whether there were obscenities spoken while Christie's kids and other people's kids were there.

It sounds like Maggie and Ellen are bullying our governor because of his weight.
Shame on you ladies. Do you let your kids pick on the fat kid in school?

And I thought fat people were jolly.

Why not commnt on the heckler. Are officials supposed to take all of the inappropriate remarks without a reaction? maye we should have more respect for our officials. Christie does a good job, inspite of the obstructions by the Democrats.
Gertrude

what ever happened to respect? not for the heckler ,but for our governor, why is it ok now to just yell things out call him names etc? i notice the same thing with the president...he is called mr obama...idk probably just old me but if someone is in those offices they deserve the respect ..

The guys got a set of balls it is about time people get angry and pissed off. Maggie you must be a teacher? What's your superintendent making around $250,000 a year!
Go Christie! Get so pissed off you go kick some ass down in DC they sure as Hell need their asses kicked after what they have done to this country !

could you imagine this guy with his finger on the nuclear button

if this guy gets on the ticket it will be the first time I vote democratic

People write about politicians as if they are god like and put them on a pedestal. To me they are employees of the state just like teachers are, except they play by their own rules which most of the rules were made by the politicians for their own benefit. When you start treating them as if they are employees instead of some kind of royalty, you will see a change in them. I find it laughable that people will stand behind a politician no matter what they do just because they are a Republican or Democrat instead of looking at the person for the job performance they were hired to do. People will stand behind Christie because their father was a republican as was his father before him, or they would stand behind Corsine even though he was killing the state just because he was a Democrat and so was the voters father and his father before him. What a crock of shit, time to start rating these people for their job performance and not this political game they all like to play. I was part of the majority the hired Christie to run the state, so far I give him a D- and will not rehire him after his contract runs out. Time to find a better and more efficient employee.

I can't see him in any national position especially VP. Also, NJ's unemployment rating is higher than the national rating.

CC was with his kids ...the guy started yelling profanity at Christie ,being a family man CC went at him ...most guys would have decked him first then asked questions

Unprofessional as usual and an embarrassment to his office and the state.

Why cause he speaks his mind and is actually doing something! You people are never happy we have a Governor who basically stole and cheated the state before him! Now we have a governor who has a mouth like most people in this state and is actually doing something to better it!!! You know how many of my Navy friends have asked me from across the country what's with Christie I heard he is doing an awesome job and he has a mouth so awesome to see someone in Government who fights!!

Someone should press charges on him via the new bullying law.

If you knew the complete story. Some guy made comments to him using profanity in front of his children, then Christie responded like most dads would!! Maybe not the best judgement, but i get his reaction.

Is he not allowed to take a vacation? He seems like a regular down to earth person.

No Joe he is a Great leader. I dont agree with him all the time but he is a perfect example for all children. Why should his kids have to listen to that foul language by others. I am guessing you dont have kids. I will pray for you if you do.

He sets a great example for the children? If you do not get your way whine about it and call the opposition derogatory names... Yep.. that is teaching our children a great lesson. Let's be real.. he has some good ideas, but his behavior is immature and unprofessional.. It is sad you can not see this Big Daddy!

I agree, mrpipp. It is not about his weight; it is about his arrogant attitude. His attitude brings his weight to the forefront as a package. He is certainly not the example I would ever want to have my children emulate. Nothing short of bullying, for sure.

A bully...really? It's ok for AH to berate and embarass the man in front of his family? It's ok for ignorant people to use his physical appearance and run with it? Let's grow up. Take a look @ our education system...take a look at all the systems in NJ that HAVE BEEN FAILING way before Christie. He won't be able to please everyone...he is trying to make changes. Changes for the better. And...BTW...why do you really care where he is and who is is paying a visit to?? There are far more important things to concern yourself with...

understand your point, however, I like the fact that he calls out the truth & says it like he means it without worrying if its PC or not a bad example, its ok to stand for what you believe in & stand your ground ( everyone is so worried about being bullies its raising a bunch of over sensitve wimps) I respect that he is not a flip flopper & that he stands for what he believes in. Like him or not ,are state, while not perfect & has work to still be done is making a turn in the right direction & HE does get things done.

Marie, and others, claim the guy cursed at the governor and that led to his reaction. Some even claim that the video shows that. Where does it do that? There is NO evidence that the guy cursed. Certainly, no one here really thinks we should believe what his guy says. He is, has been, and always be a liar. He is a fraud.

What a bunch of cry babies! He's mean, he's arrogant, he's fat, he has bad temper. Go cry me a river, and get a life cry babies!

the hecker came at him attacking him personally & on a profl level,
He's luck all he did was call him " stupid or Idiot", ( & if someone is acting stupid why cant they be called out on it?)
CC should find the guy & get him arrestest for harresment, distrurbing the peace, & maybe even for threating... I If that was my husband & A black guy came up to him heckling him & making fun of him in front of our kids he would have knocked him on his ass! ...
What the Hell give that guy the right to do that?? ohhh I forgot he was black, he can say anything to anyone, but noone can say anything to him OR we are all racist... GOOD FOR CC, NOt being intimidated by that IDIOT!!

Pat Henderson, it was just a passerby making a comment about policy. All this clown Governor had to do was keep walking, or engage in a short non attacking discussion and be on his way, like 99% of politicians would do instead of blowing up.

As a politician, he is unprofessional. The people voted him in, so he works for us. He could have ignored the guy on the boardwalk and told the reporter in a professional manner. To me he is no better then the cast of Jersey Shore.

Very well said, Pat, i agree 100%.

I don't care if he's fat or skinny. This man is a bully. If it isn't his way, he gets all nasty and obnoxious! He has a thin skin, and given his position, he needs to learn some tolerance. Who can blame a reporter for trying to get other questions answered???? He doesn't tell it like it IS, he tells it how the THINKS it should be and if you don't agree, you're an idiot according to him.

Pat, Sure that is a great example coming from our governor. What is he teaching our kids? I can get away with being a bully. I can have a tantrum and result in name calling everyone that does not agree with me. Kids are going to start calling everyone stupid and you're an idiot. If the governor can do it, so can I.

As a life long Republican I say he has no class just like the Dems in congress.

Pat, He is the Governor of the state... and all that was said was, take care of teachers. Or look at it this way... lets say a professional baseball player gets yelled at by a fan after he strikes out... does he, shout back or head to the dug out and worry about the next inning. Christie can't be a bigger man and just let it go. He is a thin skinned insecure man who likes to bully because that is what makes him feel better about himself. He is the top elected official in our state, shouldn't he act like it.

Well said, Pat

Pat. we need to help poor Joe. He just does not get it. When Gov runs for Pres in 2016 instead of Joe the plummer,he can use poor Joe the clown.

Exactly, Pat Henderson, the gov's insults make him look childish. And if the press is not confrontational we don't learn much. He could have just ignored the question. I'll bet his kids are embarrassed by his behavior and they will strive to have better manners.

Pat, I would not worry about the replies to your comment which I see as being right on. The negative replies are from other morons who "Can't handle the truth".
He reprimanded the reporter in Oceanport because he was out of line and had been warned before along with other reporters to only ask questions about the water emergency and nothing else.
He latest outburst in SH was in response to two idiots who were using foul language in front of everyone including his children during their vacation. The two cowards took off as soon as Christie went to approach them.
SH is loaded with idiots like them whose only purpose in life is to drink and start trouble. I know this as a fact because I worked there years ago but would not go near there now...

Kudos to you Pat...such ignorant people take a physical handicap and play and play and play on it. He has a set ...finally someone to say what is wrong and try to fix it. Truth hurts...tooooooooo bad! He is dealing with things in NJ that have been wrong for years..things that have been swept under the carpet for years...wake up people!

Telling it like it is may be one thing, but going after someone is unjustifiable! There's no telling what he would have done if he wasn't held back and had connected with that person who didn't agree with him. Who does he think he is? Being governor does not give anyone the right to strong-arm someone! That's childish behavior that should not be ignored. And, as an aside...did he really need that ice cream cone...I think not!

The gentlemen was not harrassing him. He wanted to know why he was giving more money to charter schools and cutting money to public schools. At no time did he curse at the governor! The video doesn't show the whole conversation. Our governor is nothing more then a bully who needs time out!

When can we make an appoint ment to have a qustion on topics that effect the state? Just wondering when we can have an appointment to know why mhy realestate taxes went up the last 2 years. And don';t tell me that I'm luck they only went up as little as they did.

I've played the political game before and as a lawyer he plays it pretty good.

You could say the same thing about the authors of Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto. Telling it like it is - is a good attribute so long as the "it" you're telling it like is a good "it."

pat do you think it was ok that he called a reporter an idiot during a press conference.
he's arrogant and a bully and I'm ashamed to call him my governor. Let's pray he never becomes president his attitude will cause world war three.

well said Pat!

Pat Henderson, if you can't take the heat in the kitchen get out. When people make racial slurs at Obama does he stop, with his secret service by his side, and want to fight them? No, he's the President, and he actually acts the part. Gov Christie has chosen to be a public official, he is very over weight, so you think people are not going to call him out on that? Cmon, part of being a public official, and this man didn't call him fat just made a comment about taking care of teachers. Christie is the one who needs to grow up. Last point is, I can ensure you he wouldn't be quite so "tough" if he didn't have his security detail with him, an overweight middle aged man will get himself hurt pretty good acting as he did in that video.

The point of a free press is to ask whatever questions they think important, not the agenda the politician sets. That why the Constitution, in the very first amendment, secures the right of a free press. The Founders thought it necessary to not abridge the freedom of the press for the precise reason activated in that exchange. You may be awed of the majesty of Christie, but the press should not be. The reporter was right; the Governor was wrong.

Then, as to why everything comes back to his weight: Well, people are obese either due to a medical problem, or a psychological problem. He apparently does not have a medical problem, so there's something not quite right in his relationship to food, or his relationship to his body. His own mind/body relationship is unhealthy. That says a great deal about him.

You can speak the truth and still be considerate of other people, he'll never have the respect he should have as governor

Truth always hurts....specially hurts the blacksheeps...baaaaaaaaaaa

Then the ignorant people of NJ need to treat the man with the respect he deserves...if for nothing else...he represents NJ....he was VOTED in....didn't pay to get the job like most sectors in NJ....

*Like*

He raised my property taxes, by cutting school funding... He raised the fare of NJ transit to the highest commuter fares in America by unfolding it... He's raided about every fund that is in the black, so really... what makes him any different from Florio to Corzine... his big mouth.

I hope you are right.

I pray that Romney picks him. We all be sooooo happy. Then we will say good bye to both of them in 2012!

we cant afford another term with obama ! sorry about that because i do believe he is a nice man just not right for our country at this time..have you heard our president is giving drs a $44000 bonus for updating their computers by the end of this year? its so all patient files can be on one site, medicare accepting drs get this bonus..each dr in a group gets it also..check into that and how are we paying for this ? i was told this by my dr and why would he lie?

Hitler and Stalin did too!

so true, simpletruth!

The noisiest pig rules the sty. And that's the one who eats the babies.

I'm with you all the way simpletruth! The teachers are nothing but a bunch of bullies today. They have been on easy street with their free rides and tenure and finally some of this is getting corrected! The Libs are like stalkers. They try to shout down all Republicans and they act the fools they are. I love it when Christie unleashes on them!

and why should a teacher worry about his tenured job ever? wanna debate the tenure process ok FINE. but we never had that debate. Christie went straight to damning the entire profession, not the process or the politics of it. There is being strong on a issue and forcing your will on the people. What I don't like is a man who thinks he is smarter then everyone else, when his entire career is based on promotion of one idea, Chris Christie. Look it up.

Right on simpletruth...right on...All these mouths about what he is teaching our children...ummmmmmm.....let's not get on the education or tenure subject...ok...

So right! Those who are complaining would rather be massaged and lied to by the politicians... I would rather hear it straight and truthful...the rest of these people must be living in Oz!

Christie as Vice President would make Biden look like a perfect angel. If Christie is unprofessional handling the press or voters in Seaside, the thought of him dealing on the International stage as a representation of the United States is unimaginable.

simpletruth, you really believe Christie is truthful? You are simple.

I agree, Joe.

with you simple truth

simple truth his reaction was uncalled for. last I checked this country has something called freedom of speech. and this was just one of many of his outbursts. he called a reported an idiot because his question was off subject. he seems to go into a defensive posture when ever someone speaks the truth. I personally am glad he went off. I think he just ruined any shot he may have had for the white house. He would be trying to bully other countries.

Gale, ARe you serious!?!?! How about defending himself against moron teachers' protector who felt it necessary to heckle christie using profanity, with Christie's children present, according to news report.

As a parent...1 biological - 3 step...I am SO SICK of people blaming everyone else for their children....it starts...continues...and ends with the parents for gods sake. Not up to anyone else...stop trying to pass the buck! Hold yourself accountable for your own children! Take a look at movies, TV, radio stations, books, education systems, jobs, etc....teach your children right and they will make it...anywhere!

Hey So Much to Say- why is the person who said something to the governor a "puke"? And why should he be arrested? He did not harass Christie. Christie is an insecure, hot- headed man who cannot handle things not going his way.

Hey, you using the word "puke"- you must be the same Internet tuffguy who referred to me as a "puke" when I commented about the lady who is suing the WPD a few weeks ago. Change screen names much?

Yea ok John... No, I've been using the same name for a long while. I guess whomever called you a PUKE had a good reason and now I see why and agree!

I have seen people pull this stunts at ND basketball games to the Gov. John I am sure you dont have kids,so you dont get it. Maybe your a teacher? I am sure you would do alot worse but who am I to judge a PUKE.

for what?

Yes they should have...as said before ...the man deserves respect as he represents NJ. He was with his family. He does not need ignorant people following him...yelling at him, threats, harrassment, etc. No one deserves that! They should have arrested him! Totally agree!

Stan, all the guy said was take care of the teachers. That is not harassment. It was a plea from a citizen to a politician. A normal politician would have responded like a real human being with maybe...I will, or Yes sir. End of discussion.

I agree, the NJEA is an embarassment to us. Thank you for saying that. When will this state pass the Right-to-work bill and free us from such extortion?

THE PEOPLE OF NEW JERSEY ARE A BUNCH OF SPOILED BRATS THAT VOTED IN CRIMINALS FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS..... HE MAY HAVE A MOUTH AND ( THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS UNDISCIPLINED STATE) AND IS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE PUT THE IGNORANT PEOPLE OF THIS STATE IN THEIR PLACE YOU DONT LIKE IT TOO BAD..... YOU ALL NEED A GOOD SPANKING AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS HE IS FINALLY STRAIIGHTNEING THINGS OUT.... AND PROBABLY MUCH TO YOUR DISMAY NOT A CRIMINAL OR A THEIF LIKE ALL YOUR OTHER GOVERNERS ) YOU DONT LIKE HOW HE IS DOING ITTHEN GET OFF YOUR TWO YEAR OLD BUTTS AND DO IT YOURSELF....... HE IS A GREAT GOVERNER FOR TAKING ON YOU FOUL MOUTHED UNDISCIPLINED WHINERS. ... BRING IT ON, CHILDREN.

Donny If he is a bum what does that make you?

Barbara, really, a stand up kinda of guy? Thin or fat, a BULLY. Not a stand up guy at all. A nasty angry man.

Reminds me of the union protests we see all over the country. Gimme gimme gimme or we will strike!!! It's for the kids!!!!! LOL!!!

I'd sorta like a politician who will listen to both sides and make a choice based on facts , not his gut. I'm sick of the ideologues and partizan bickering.

Julie, I would not react like the governor if someone made a simple request to help the teachers. I'm better than that and I don't have to account to anyone but myself. He is a professional politician and is accountable to everyone for his actions. He just thinks he is above it all and better than everyone. NOT!

antonio, such a tough guy too. Anyone with a different opinion is a pansy? Bullies stick together huh?

as a matter of fact, the OFFICE OF GOVERNER IS above something We are accountable to show respect to the office...... no one here is doing that ... We deserve NO respect from him . We are nobody and He is the Governer but we think we can dictate his actions words and moods ? I dont think so.. Last I knew it was still a free country.

if there is a state employee who is part of the 1% and didn't get it for outside means, then there is a bigger problem. To be in the top 1% of income earners you need to make over a million... Probably triple that... so who in NJ gov't is making 3 million a year?

last I read was he was in the Hamptions, and pretty bummed out.

C. Democrats

Snooki is from NY. so CC.

Whiny Liberal,
I'm a conservative Republican who voted for Christie. His RUDE, CRUDE behavior has nothing to do with politics. There is no room for his his treatment of the public by any politician in a civilized society. He is a terrible example of the 'dumbing down' of America.

We are talking about tax relief here. If you don't like him personally so be it. I don't like Barry O on any level.

you are moaning about Ocean City? that is the biggest nanny state in the state. You get tax dollars from people that don't live there or have a voice in policy, you get an absurd amount in education funding from the state, (think it was a 98% increase) and you want us to worry about your potential savings in pensions? what a joke.

Weeny Conservative....
Why don't you run for office and show us again how you would cut into middle class disposable income. You could pick Joe the plumber as your running mate.
You sound pathetic.

Joe R, obviously you didn't pay attention to your English teacher in school

@Joe R, geezez, me laff so hard you commet I shootz eyez tee out noze! LOL!

Well said. i wish i knew if he is chosen VP that that will get him out of his governor position as his behavior is immature and totally unacceptable.

Bingo! Yachtzee! Winner!!!! Libs are BULLIES! They also whine a lot

Wait if he is an embarrassment then what about Corslime, Lautenberg, Sheila Oliver, Sweeney, Sarlo, Greenwald? Let's talk tax relief. Who will get rid of the pensions for the 1% paid for by the 99%?

Is that the best you can do....Obviously since your Crisco jokes are as old as your underwear.

You are right it was SOOOOOO much better under CORSLIME! Have they found the missing money yet? Maybe his pal Madoff has some.

Sadly, Christie was a thin child and a very nice looking and fit young man. His father and mother were thin. Google the pictures. Noone can say this is genetic, or beyond his control. It is his own doing. Sad.

NJ resident, Just like his own doing with his temper tantrums. His wife and kids must be proud.

Liberals are bullies! Just look at what they did to SCOTUS. Somehow 5-4 against is activist but 5-4 for is ok if Libs win

correct, the guy that started it all & had no right to harress him & CC told him to back off STILL wouldnt shut up, HE was the bully, & needs to arrestest for public harrressement

Chief Wahoo and Joe- wasnt this about CC and the incident Thursday night? And teachers cant teach when te schools are closed, correct? And all of your teachers have to pass praxis exams AND most have master degrees that they have to pay student loans off for. Who do you think is in the classroom?

I am not a teacher but I know many that are and they are good people teaching our future and most of them work multiple jobs. And they pay a hell of a lot into the pensions. They are not like OTHER state workers, but because they are such a large population, take the brunt of all the pension crap. Check the figures!!!

Maybe he can share a cell with Corslime. Jon can be the beoooooch!

Let me clarify that... He was fat and bullied as a kid...now he is in a position of power..and he is getting even for those early years br pretending to be a tough guy. He is an embarrassment who could star on the Jersey Shore. He makes Snooki look like Emily Post.

Who is more embarrassing CC or Barry O????

Obama is the ultimate loser... But Christie went to the same school...

Did anyone see the jobs reports today and watch Barry O try and blame everyone but his failures? What a joker!!

So coherent! Did you learn that at Union school?

much likde the rest of New Jersey only not as horrible.

We can only hope that he drinks some and turns over the reigns to the Lt Guv. She the one with class.

What is more of an embarrassment is we have the highest taxes in the land and we pay taxes to fund pensions for the 1% of government employees. See how much can be saved by getting rid of pensions.

http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/pensions/epbam/exhibits/pdf/2012-pers-pfrs-combined-billing-revised-78.pdf

Agreed . Senator Chris Connors should be the Governor. He is a Class Act!

Now look, CC has his issues for sure but why can't we all talk about Barry O and his issues er record of failures because afterall, jobs, lower debt and a growing economy is all that matters. Barry O is 0 for 3!

if he runs for vp he will win, and New Jersey will go back to being the losers that they have always been,. Yes i he certainly is entertaining. but we cant affored to lose him who will replace him another theif? It took years for nj to make the mess it has made out of itself He is just beginning to fix it...... but obviously no one wants that....

How can anyone listen to biden? He is dumber than a rock.

You are the one who is clueless and your governor is classless as yourself. I have never heard Mayor Barrella call anyone and idiot or stupid. Sure, that is all Point Beach needs another political hack. This Governor will never be voted in again, One term in NJ and the reason he campaigned the entire time for his higher political wish.

Why was he a community organizer? LOL!!!! Just joshin!!!

How come no one talks about Barry O not being qualified to be Prez of local PTA let alone the country?

I guess he has no friends or relatives and no one actually knows him??? i take a wild guess that someone knows him personally,.......

Nah, they are just sheep...the NJEA now they are militant bullies and the PENSIONS are bankrupting the state. Get rid of them and pay the folks a little more...even hire some more....give the rest as tax relief. We all WIN!

And so did the Guv when he stayed in 5star hotels when he was US Attorney for N J

The teachers are not bankrupting the state. Something needs to be done about the dead-weight administration that is robbing the tax payers and preventing the teachers from making a decent salary for trying to teach the youth of today what seems to be a completely thankless job....and in most cases without any support from the parents!

And why didn't they put anything in Joey? No money perhaps after all the other runaway spending? Why should the rest of middle class hard working NJ residents pay taxes to pay for pensions for the 1%? What is your solution to the billions we keep putting on the backs of hard working NJ residents? More taxes for pensions for a select few union members? Get a 401k like the rest of us.

BTW the Teachers Pension is not funded locally at all. It's all buried in the belly of the state budget beast. If OC got rid of its pension, it would save $4 million a year. Tax RELIEF!!

http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/12/0614/0121/

WE CAN NOT AFFORD OUR RETIREMENT AND YOURS!!!!

Tax breaks to millionaires really? Who pays the taxes genius? Millionaires do!! 50% of the population pays ZERO!!!! Who pays the sales taxes? Who pays the property taxes? Such a dumb a$$ liberal talking point!

Come on dude, do you really think anyone goes out of their way to go to Seaside?

I HOPE it DOES keep the Bennies away! I LOVE the shore from September until Memorial Day. Then it is horrid for those of us who live DOWN THE SHORE. And usually it is the Bennies who are the rude ones so who was this person that made the statement to Christie-a Bennie????

So in your eyes we should only discuss CC and not Corslime. Does that apply to only talking about Barry Hussein and not W or Romney???? Libs are so funny. They think they are smart but they are really dumb. Look what their policies have done to California and Camden or even Detroit. nice work LIBS!

whiney I agree about seaside one place I go out of my way to STAY AWAY from...lol

Because we care about real issues and you care about ice cream. Let's see who is dumber Palin or Biden?

Why do you libs have to resort to name calling? Can't defend the failures of the Dems and lib policies. Camden is a great example of it working isn't it.....LOL!!!!

Exactly! Tax relief by cutting the pensions now that is NEWS!!!! Who wants to vote on this?

The gov was in seaside for an audition with the jersey shore cast.

Tax and Spend. Bankrupting countries, cities and states all over!

Wasn't Detroit the model of Liberalism. Union employers, Dem leaders. Now it's the pithole of the USA. Liberalism must work. BTW union Joe who buys the cars made by the unions, oh yeah the non union people who cannot afford your pensions!!! DOH!!!

Barry O's path to fame and fortune on the backs on the people he claims to care for. How many vacations and rounds of golf can one person play when tens of millions are out of work. Yep, he gets our pain and is doing so much to help!!! LOL!!!!!

Whitman raided the pension fund many years ago to balance her budget, now you blame state workers for the problem. Get better informed.

I don't blame state workers. I blame politicians that is why I want the people to decide if we should pay taxes for pensions for the 1%.

How much did McGreevey put into the pension while he wasn't with his BFF?

Where was the money going to come from? If we have the highest taxes now and can't pay the pensions, where oh where will it come from? The magic pension tree.

It's a broke system. Admit it and kill it and move on!!! Lying is the problem.

McGreevey and Codey put in this much in 4 years.....where did they spend the money??????????????

$265 million over 5 years!!!!! Blame Bush!!!

McGreevey 2003 $ 11,181
McGreevey 2004 (c) 27,520
McGreevey 2005 62,723
Cumulative Totals $ 101,424
Codey 2006 165,026
Cumulative Totals $ 165,026

Now Johnny you know you can't fix stupid but I guess you can send them to South Dakota......OK works for me!!

maybe there will be jobs is South dakota?

The source of your arch-conservative dogma, Whiny, is "AEI" (American Enterprise Institute). So far right that it has zero credibility, except on Fixed News.

When Obama took office, Bush's Wall St. and bank crash was just starting to kill jobs. That spring was when corporations (and their "1%" honchos) laid off millions of working people.

Yet AEI still wants the politicians in its pocket to give tax breaks to the 1%, oil companies, offshore job outsourcers, hedge-fund dabblers, etc.

I know Biden is such a loser!

Knock knock
Who's there
A job
A job for who
Not you
Thanks Barry!!!!

Folks should also remember that yes gov. corzine was responsible for the parkway toll increase but your gov. Christie could have stopped the port authority from raising the tolls on ALL THE NEW YORK BRIDGE AND TUNNELS BUT SAT SILENT and let the increases go into effect. Either the new york or new jersey governor CAN VETO any port authority toll hike and Chris Christie sat on his hands and let it go into effect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you bernie...what father would NOT stand up for his family??? This guys stupid remarks at the wrong time was to blame. My gosh, can't the Gov just enjoy a nite out with his family without some ignorant teacher (calm down, I'm certain not all teachers are that stupid) bashing him? There is a time and place for everything and that certainly was not the right time.
You go Christie and KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB you are doing to get this state back on track! I love this guy.

Imagine Biden talking with Putin........Putin would be like Joe nice hair plugs.

If the job was non-union would you be ok with it? I would. Nice deflection of course since taxpayers had to pay for these short term jobs for no real benefits....kinda like the pension system.

Hey mom how does our family benefit from the pensions of the state workers? Well Johnny, we don't. It just costs us money we could use for groceries.

Wow that was lucid, well thought out and articulate..........so impressed with your command of the issues and offer of solutions. Libs gotta love em

Can you imagine if he was running with romney as the vice presidential candidate? Would he blow up and self destruct at every campaign stop when asked a question he didn't like??? Might be ok to act like that here, but i suspect many folks across the country wouldn't be attracted to vote for someone with an explosive temper. That behavior could be the death knell in presidential politics. It just wouldn't go over well......................................

He DID deal with it He is smarter than you think DID he have to remind any reporter again??NO. Is anybody going to harass him on the boardwalk again? NO Is he getitin alot of playback about both YES..... ( any publicity is good publicity) He is very much in the public eye..... New Jersey need to be ruled with an iron fist and he"s got one... live with it. If you want him out just vote.... next time.

If we cut the pensions, we can provide billions in tax relief to seniors and middle class families. You ok with that?

well unlike the other politicians nj has stupiidly voted in, he has done somehting for nj....

Is the benchmark corzine or Barry Hussein? CC might be bad but he aint that bad!!!! GEEZ!!!!

Good One!

Again such articulate well thought out comments.......You are really a great spokesperson for Lib failures everywhere. They need you in Detroit

Can you spell Barry Hussein? He's our man. he will cut the debt and create jobs.

OPPPPPPS!! Apparently not!

Wasn't the bus made in Canada?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-tour-bus-made-america/story?id=14324892

Did he talk about his record on debt reduction? LOL!!!!

My union job allows me to post during work hours and works towards my taxpayer paid pension. Thanks.

BTW do you have 10k to wager?

Would you like to debate any specific topic this evening sir?

@Whiny Liberals

Your a prime example of why unions are the ruination of America and why companies would rather have hard workers....in China, India and the Phillipeans. Your job will evetually be send to some 3rd world country. Just wait and see how long they keep you and your co-workers when they figure it out that your goofing off instead of working.

Crooks should go to jail. Speaking of which, when will Corzine be indicted?

Hopefully Monday. But, that aint gonaa happen.

you know what fed up you might be right, i hope all the quickly retired supervisers etc are feeling the heat. they know who they are and should be worried lets take their pensions back even if they just watched it all go on without speaking up. hope they check bus garage people from back then too, lots of shady ordering went on that the public should be made aware of...example charging for bus radiators when they really ordered hunting equip

Hmmmm. Fedup is impersonating me. I'm Fed up. Who are you loser.? I give a bignSh_t. Get your own name jerk.

Meeting up with the boardwalk owners who have a lot of power, clout and money.

The only thing I have to worry about is my parking spot in Trenton next Friday.

Ignore them,like most grown ups do!

He is a very polarizing politician and he knows it. He knows there are people who.don't like him. If he chooses to be out in public with his family, then he needs to explain to them that there are people who don't like him and leave it at that. He would gave looked much better if he just ignored the guy. He sets a bad example for his kids....and the state.

I see you got your waiver from Obamacare.

Yeah - we ALL do - even the millionaires! Think about it.

One word - Biden!

I agree Duffer.. Also I watched the TMZ video it does not show what the man said to the Governor first. Did i hear him say "Watch" your back Governor at the end of the video or "Gotcha back" (Like payback) Governor wither one is very upsetting. What ignorant person will confront any public official while with his children? Good politician

Me to. You are on vacation with your family, thats not the time to deal with morons. Although i would have gone someplace nice. Maybe you could go to that guys job and take the broom out of his hand and club him with it. A great you tube video.

Amen to that John... NJ needs CC.

Really?? whether you like that man or not..........do you have to behave like a 10 year old bully?? seriously?/ get a clue

Name-calling? Really!? You resort to name-calling? That's sad in more ways than one.

Just taking his cue from our govenor.

Right on, Art!

This comment as well as sooo many others in this thread could be credited to kidnergarteners on a playground. So childish........oh yeah, its politics.

Profanity on the Seaside Boardwalk??? WTF? When did that start???

Well said Joe, I have several individuals in my family that work for NJEA and have both sides of the coin. Kudos to Christie for sticking to his guns.. Not that it will help him in further conquests of his political career. RON PAUL 2012!!!!

Yeah, teach your kids not to let someone bully you & stand up for yourself.
YOU bet he's teaching his kids the right thing to do. NOT to turn into a politically correct wimps... Good for him!!

Oh come on...were you there to witness the altercation? If not, move one with your life.

Ok - so noone should use bad words in front of the kids (not on tape, by the way), but the father can try to get in a man's face and physically threaten him? THAT is OK with you? One needs to ask just why we have so many bullies in school - which Christie is against - if this is the type of roal model some parents aspire to be.

Just because is not acting like every other politician does NOT mean he is real- it means he is not suited to hold public office. His short temper and bullying tactics are not qualities most people want in a politician. Might seem like "a breath of fresh air", but this guy cannot control his temper. He is not "saying it the way it is", he has no self- control. All you need to do is look at the guy's physique to see that... and yes- him being obese, being in a position of power and acting like a bully are valid points- he has a LOT of emotional baggage which he is displaying each time he rants and raves in public.

John, Grow up......

the drug testing for welfare should also go for unemployment checks...love the idea for welfare tho..i think christie is great just needs to watch the way he goes about things, i would hate it if he gets to run for vp or pres and this talk back stuff costs it for him...

Jenny, If you can't learn from Florida's ridiculous mistakes, put up your millions not the state's money. Funny that it's conservatives for bigger, intrusive government full of wasteful spending.

Yes, follow Florida's example of wasting MILLIONS on drug testing!

its funny to me that everyone keeps calling him a bully, meanwhile the last article about him ( when he was LRMS) was all about his weight making comments about that. standing up for what you believe in doesnt make you a bully. making fun of someone is...

Try Ralph Kramden.

you are so right! Too bad many of the posters here don't think CC has a right to walk the Boardwalk without being heckled. Everyone deserves to have their time with family respected. Some of the comments here are really offal..... not awful.... offal!

His behavior is just fine with me. Somebody shoots their mouth off while I'm trying to walk down the boardwalk with my kids, better duck. This guy thought Christy was just going to back down like some wimpy liberal politician. Big surprise for him, huh? You want to see Bullys? Try the N.J.E.A. Not Christy, He's a REAL man!

Dave Sleeper- he is NOT a real man. Real men do not consistently lose their cool and act belligerent.

He has to be held to a different standard than us- he is an elected official who has to act professional, even if a civilian citizen like us shouts at him. He is not doing that.

I'm with you Dave. Me thinks the objectors protest too much. Christie calls it just like it comes and he sees it. You know where he stands. That's not a bully. A
The bullies ARE the big mouths criticizing his guts to call a spade a spade. What they dish out he sends it right back at them. They look like the fools - because they ARE the fools. For once the people have a straight shooter. Don't mess with him. Show him respect and he'll respond in kind. He gets it, he's quick on his feet. He's alive and speaks the language people understand. We all should take the lesson of a great mentor. By the way, he's got a great sense of humor and the born Jersey smartass attitude. He's perfect for these times.

They don't call you clown baby for nothin'!

maybe our govenor should go to anger managent classes.

Just let him be! Anger is a natural human emotion and he has every right to be angry with this jerk and the other jerks that he has to deal with on a daily basis.

Just like a liberal to want to send a person of different persuasion to a re-education camp. He's just fine the way he is.

I think that "backbone" will collapse under the weight soon

Common Sense,

HItler had a backbone too. We all know how that turned out.

DennyD... It's terrific that our Gov. stays in NJ to vacation. It's not ok that he is accosted while on vacation with his family. Maybe you want him to get guards to "take care of" anyone invading his space. Most of our "officials" do just that. If the man chooses to do his own shooing.... that's just less taxpayer dollars being spent. I say.."Good for you CC"

so true, bunny.

Please enlighten me on the specific bulying terminology that the President has used. Your comment is exactly why we will never rid this country of bullies. You don't know what a bully is and bullies always have an excuse why they are bullies.

bullying

I agree... I want him to stay in NJ and clean up this State!

I didn't know Christie was a northeastern liberal. Mean, nasty and intolerant all terms that define Christie. Don't allow facts to get in the way of your opinions. Christie is a classless bully. That doesn't mean I believe unions are all honorable. Doesn't mean I don't think something needs to be done about double and triple dippers (which Christie seems to be leaving alone in Ocean County - e.g. Acropolis)

A bully is a bully. Cuomo in NY is getting things done without the classless diatribes that Christie employs. Christie keeps the "jersey shore" mentality alive.

But, hey, that's just my opinion.

Christie is actually a northeastern liberal. Anti-gun, pro-Obamacare, addicted to big spending and raising all sorts of fees (while making the bogus claim that he doesn't raise taxes). We're no better off with him than we were under the previous hack Governors.

Were you there? Did you hear it? Because on the video there were no curse words at all. He should have just ignored it and kept walking! That would have been the mature thing to do. What about belittling the reporter who asked the "off topic" question. What was his excuse for that? Oh that's right, he is superior and can treat people any way he wants. Totally unnecessary. I would bet money that he was a bully when he was a kid. While I may like some of his ideas, I don't agree with them all and I certainly do not like his personality and the way he talks down to people.

Terri, There were no curse words on the video because it didn't show wharever led up to Gov Christie's response. Rather one sided reporting, much like ABC, MSNBC et.al. How do you think President Obama would have reacted in the same situation?
I'm sure a bunch of "Men in Black" Secret Service agents would have tackled the heckler and arrested him as a terrorist.

The reporters were told before the press conference that it was only about one topic. As I remember President Obama did something similar when a White House reporter asked an "off-topic" question.

Maybe you can explain to me how passing a bloated budget filled with pork is actually going to help the state. The only people he's helping are his hack lawyer friends by giving them jobs they're not qualified for.

Christie is part of the "good old boy" network. He was hired by George W. Bush to be U.S. Attorney. He had the entire NJ GOP establishment back him up against the infinitely more qualified Steve Lonegan for Governor. He has endorsed the establishment darling Mitt Romney for President and Joe Kyrillos for U.S. Senate. Just because he talks tough doesn't make him any different. Don't be fooled - the man is part of the solution, not part of the problem. The people who helped create this mess are his allies.

exactly he is trying to clean up the mess he was giving, so back off people give him a break, any one of us would have said that reporter was an idiot for asking a question he was told not to ask, and if Chrisitie had ignored him you all would be saying he is dodging the issues, as for the guy on the Boardwalk my husband would have gone off on him to using that language in front of my kids.

If the guy doesn't lose 100+ pounds, he won,t have to worry about anything.

You have a lot of anger in you.

Maybe he should start with himself and his brother who should be behind bars. Nice to have a brother as an Attorney General and friends with one in NY. Any one else would be in jail for a long time. He has attacked others that he is managing to do the same thing. Giving jobs out who supported him at all cost. Our Governor acts like a punk kid, he is ridiculous. He is compulsive with no control, he abuses his power and he is a name calling bully.

Where are you from - Hee Haw?

I am not surprised, just another Politician who lies, talks out of two sides of his mouth. Do what I say, not what I do.

Plus the fact he lies, he is a typical politician that talks out of two sides of his mouth. He does not practice what he preaches, Do what I say, Not what I do.

Rob, I don't care if he runs naked down the highway, as long as he continues to fight hard for N.J. - his job.

...and if he had any sense, he would have kept walking and kept quiet, but he has to show everyone how he thinks he is a tough guy, so he shot off his mouth. When you are concerned about your family, you just keep going and get them out of harm's way. He figured, since he had security with him, we would act like the wise guy that he is. If you want to be a public figure, then you have to deal with the public. He has no class and is doing nothing for New Jersey except causing embarrassment! Time to go Christie.

I agree, for his children's sake he should have ignored the guy & kept walking. But I imagine (as usual) we only caught a glimpse of what happened on the boardwalk. I highly doubt that man was the only person to shout out to him that day & perhaps that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. And yes, as a public official there are expectations of your accessibility, but when the man is trying to enjoy an ice cream cone with his kids? Did the guy really think that was the appropriate time and place? -Still not a fan of him, his politics or his reaction-

If you you mean the Governor's house on Island Beach State Park, It's been there a long, long time! Used to be the Phipps Estate.

Hmmm I recall McGreevey fell off a dune and broke a leg. Guess its been awhile. SO WHAT?

Now THAT's a stupid comment!

It's not on LBI, it's on Island Beach State park and has been there for years.

Gene, so sorry you were bullied in your life. It is obvious.maybe if you played sports, or got invoilved with friends instread of picking your nose through school...(yes I know who you are) you wouldnt be sooo bitter....Sorry noo ne ever wanted to marry you eitherm, but as you know you have become the biggest bully ever....

I suspect gene is either a dopey teacher, or some other Taxpayer mooch Union worker. You Gene are a Dolt...(you'll need to look it up) By the way check your facts and stats. Your soooo wrong, and stupid..........

You forgot the $400 MILLION in RttT funds squandered.
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/error_on_race_to_the_top_appli.html

Gene needs some sleep.

I suspect you'd rather another DemocRAT in office. What a stupid video.

Dolt?...
That's another 4 letter word from a RepubicliCON who thinks he has the right answers because he listens to low information voters all over his circle of red state inbreds.
Stupid?....
That's a big word for whiny bully wannabe.
So you played sports? what was that, Nascar watcher?
Grow up FOOL!!! You and your political loud mouth, cartoon friend governor.
When you start backing up your words with real facts, then maybe someone can take you seriously.
Liars?
That's another big 5 letter word from a 3 letter word oaf(look it up).
I wouldn't necessarily call someone a liar if they changed their mind ALL of the time just to coast with the political winds. I'd call him(or her) a corporate cry baby a/k/a Romney, that's looking for a political advantage so that he and his ALEC(YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP)friends can screw the middle class workers in this country.

BRYAN, I have relatives all over the US and I hear the same from them they are majorly impressed with Gov. Christie, they want him for President..... He however turned that offer down because He has work to do in NEW JERSEY... NJ being the ingrate poulation that they are,, do not deserve him, but here he is anyway. you are right they would rather have what you said..... Guess not all of them though.

i Agree

Can you say 'the world is flat' a thousand times like an obnoxious bully would? Bravo!!

Nothing to say except name calling. What is your point?

You're surprised he's done nothing for you or others in the middle class? Congrats on finally realizing it, but please turn off NJ101.5 and FOX News and get your info from a variety of other sources. They all have at least some lean or bias, but if you diversify, you might be able to draw your own, independent conclusions. Christie and most of his ilk are all about making the rich richer. Period. Do your own homework.

S, To me, childish and embarrasing describes politician Pres. Clinton......cigars and interns.

Close, but no cigar, Jo.

I'll never defend Clinton's terrible judgment on the issue you cite, but at least he didn't start two unfunded wars, one of which on totally false pretenses that cost thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. Given the choice, I'd take the cigar.

Mike, in your posts you seem to always only be half-right. As to your response to me, it made no sense because I was responding to writer, S. who was talking about the Governor. Get with it already!!

Jo, thanks for at least reading my posts. Please correct the 50% of what I wrote that is incorrect, as I'd like to be 100% correct all the time like you. Teach me the way, Obi-wan.

John: You're right, it never happened. Huffington (now part of AOL, you know, one of those small, lib'ruhl media outlets) made the whole thing up. So did the lib'ruhl WSJ (see below). And if forfeiting a federal grant of $400 million is not incompetence, I don't know what is.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424053111904787404576530761094901524.html

John...
Incompetence... That was George W. Bush
Corruption... That's what the Citizen's United ruling in 2010 is permitting, by allowing multi - national and foreign corporations to give unlimited amounts of super pac money to political campaigns without disclosure. That's a conservative leaning court telling us that corporations are people and money is speech. It is destroying democracy as we have known it for years. Romney is their poster child.

MIKE, Good one. LOL x 1000

Kind of sounds like Nazi, commie ,socialist, Kenyan, muslim, foreigner, N......,that those home schooled by Faux News use.
No examples of better policies,,just a lot of empty social darwinistic BS.

Well said

do you mean the example that Christie is setting. He should be the first to feel the new bullying law.

yes JJS Lord knows christie is real careful about not being criticized....lol He loves it !
we are the ones who apparantly cant take it.....

Get out the pom poms!!!!

The only bully I see was on the boardwalk.

Oldsoldier....
Deficits are not cut by giving tax breaks to the uber rich on the backs of the middle class and the poor. During Eisenhower's term, our debt/GDP ratio was 127% because of the war,it is now somewhere between 80-90%. Eisenhower put people back to work by building highways,bridges,tunnels,water treatment systems etc. The result was a period of prosperity for the middle class in the 50's and 60's because of demand generated by disposable income. You say balance the budget on the backs of the middle class so that the out of touch uber rich can get more tax advantages?
If want to get the economy going ,you need to put more money in the pockets of people who spend it here and not put it in Swiss bank accounts. 99% of all Democratic jobs bills were filibustered by Republicans in the Senate for political purposes using our deficit(thanks to 2 unfunded wars,an unpaid for tax cut and prescription medicare part d plan)as an excuse. This is while they still want to give more tax breaks to the so called 'job creators' who have have the highest disparity of income since 1929. California has the smarts right now to be forward thinking, while NJ has a hot air balloon that you can see on you tube.
Your right about voting habits,that's why Ocean Cty should purge itself from the corrupt Republican corporate puppets along with the rest of the state.

@OldSoldier: I agree, he didn't choose the mess he inherited. Neither did Obama, by the way, but the Right won't accept that argument.

Christie does, however, CHOOSE, time and time again, to resort to threats and name-calling. He LIED (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/04/gov_christie.html) about financials related to the huge tunnel project. He was part of the mess (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/error_on_race_to_the_top_appli.html) that led to forfeiting almost HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in education aid.

I could hold my nose and deal with the fact that Christie is a boor if he actually delivered amazing results (thought that would not entirely excuse the bully behavior). But he doesn't. And now he's playing games with the budget (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/28/opinion/krugman-fiscal-phonies.html and http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/12/0625/0100/).

On so many levels he has shown lack of self-control. Just who we want with the codes in 2016.

old soldier you do realize that this thread is about his outbursts, and that he's a bully.
as Christie would say stick to the topic idiot.

Ralph, I stand corrected. I got carried away reading some of the other posts. I will keep myself on topic in the future. Thank you.

Gene = excellent post. And, I would like to add Christie has not made the state fund their share of the pensions while making his plea for the tax breaks for the wealthy. The teachers are paying more towards their pensions, healthcare, and the problem isn't "fixed". It is now fully Chrisies fault - HE HAS NOT DONE HIS PART - he promised to fix the pensions by funding the states share. How soon we forget - but the teachers will be blamed for his wrongdoing unless the union makes this information well known. Google it in the meanwhile.

@ disgusted homeowner,
YOUR RIGHT, We have not had a Gov, Like hime before, someone that actually stands up for himself, calls out the unions & other money slugs of our state, he doesnt take Crap from PPL & doesnt have Puppets doing his talking. NJ is a tough State, for those that cant handle the true, MOVE OUT!!
We live in one of the best state in the nation, he's getting things done for the postive for the state, while NOONE in office is ever going to make everyone happy bcz there are hard choices to make, Our state is moving slowly in the right direction, & for those that call him fat & call hin a bully,..... Guess what your doing?

I guess you had no problem with Florio taxing toilet paper either?
....or his ban on sunny-side-up eggs?

"He should have went to Bermuda"?
Did you learn grammar from a teacher in NJ?
