Bigger Is Not Always Better


 
 
 Well it seems the Republicans are starting to see that their latest political star, Rick ( I’m a dimwit, not a debater) Perry is turning into a shooting star and is already starting to fade.  Now all they can talk about is getting Corporate Chris (I’m a true American because I love apple pie, I mean I REALLY love apple pie, in fact I love all kinds of pie) Christie into the race.  I guess they want to get a real heavyweight into the fight.
I did a little research on the big man:

•    In 1998 Christie was registered as a lobbyist for the energy industry.

•    In 2001, controversy surrounded his appointment; to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey because of Christie's lack of criminal law experience and his history as a top fundraiser for George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign

•    Christie's law partner, William Palatucci, a Republican political consultant and Bush supporter, boasted that he had selected a United States attorney by forwarding Christie's résumé to Karl Rove.

•    He is a relative of  Tino Fiumara, a New Jersey mobster known as “The Greek”

•    Christie has also been accused of using his office's role in crafting deferred prosecution agreements to award lucrative federal monitoring positions in no-bid contracts to friends, supporters, and allies.

•    A poll July 2011, showed 55% of New Jersey voters felt the state was moving "on the wrong track",

In other words, ole Corporate Chris is just an overweight Rick Perry.


Andy Rooney is exiting 60 Minutes this Sunday.  He said things still pissed him off but that he was just too old to care.





 Stay tuned for future adventures
