It's a shame taxpayers have to pay for Chris Christie's Healthcare

[kaiser soze]

The fucker is too lazy/pompous/fat to walk from a taxpayers' State Trooper helicopter to the stands to watch his son play baseball for a couple innings and leave.

So GOP Action Hero Chris Christie didn't just take a publicly-funded state helicopter to his son's baseball game, he didn't just interrupt the game in the fifth inning so that he could take off from a nearby ballfield, but instead of walking the extra 300 feet, he also drove a car from the helicopter to his seat in the stands:

love the comments

He is not a fiscal conservative - he is a fat pig at the trough. Why does he deserve taxpayer subsidized healthcare if he can't even bother to get in shape? That's the line they tow - too fat? pre-existing condition? unemployed? too bad!

From Christie to Scott to Walker - how the hell did these anti-americans get into office?

Ehhhhhi dunno. Its his kids game, he had to be somewhere for a meeting. I dunno, I know it's a bad look, but I think he reimbursed the state financially.

I dunno, he gets. Pass for the first time. His son,s playoff game? Ehhhh I let it go.

This is not the first time he had used the trooper helicopter for personal reasons. It is an abuse of power and resources.

his son is the catcher, Christie was there for a couple innings, is a couple thousands dollars worth that? This guy is a fiscal conservative?

principles - keep them.

Meeting? More like fundraiser

From there they flew to Princeton, the police said, for a dinner at Drumthwacket, the governor's mansion, with a group of wealthy Republican donors from Iowa who were in New Jersey to try to persuade Christie to run for president.

The committee chairwoman, Annette Quijano (D-Union) sent a letter to State Police Supt. Rick Fuentes today asking him to testify before her committee about the governor's use of the helicopter, including a flight to a charity event in New York hosted by his wife's company.

this is much ado about something - the guy is a lazy asshole pig bully and deserves to be pointed out as such.
