Did I really just hear that Chris Christie declared emergency...

[Atman]

...opening the way for Federal Funds?

HEY. CHRIS! It'S NEW JERSEY'S PROBLEM! NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S!

Skip two meals a day and you'll save enough to bail out half your state!

(Sorry, I know this will upset a lot of DU'ers, but nasty bully hate-monger Christie owes a karmic debt. He hates on everyone, but now he comes begging for help from the people he shits on. NO SYMPATHY...except for the people of New Jersey who would vote for him or Romney. They owe part of the debt for Christie's madness.)

1. I know this will upset a lot of DU'ers,

Hey, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!

[RoccoR5955]

2. Why didn't he just

blow the storm out to sea? Surely he's full of enough hot air!

[Atman]

3. I think it would have just fed the storm!

Hot, moist air...would have increased the eye!

14. ...

...one of his farts would do it.

[Whisp]

4. sniveling, two faced gasbag can go fuck his large self. nt

[Barack_America]

5. Gassing up the state jet for Disney?

Or is he planning on staying and doing his job this time?

[Atman]

8. His "job" is gassing up.

It's what he does best.

[spanone]

6. hypocrite or maybe just a showboating asshole.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. His gasbag neighbor Corbutt here in PA

did the same.

[still_one]

9. He is worried there may not be food available in his refrigerator

[Honeycombe8]

10. Not meaning to damp on your OP, but the fat jokes are unnecessary & hurtful to people.

If it were a matter of skipping two meals to cure obesity, there wouldn't be so many obese people in the country.

11. The only way that works is if Jersey is given a federal tax cut/permanent

Which is not going to ever happen.

[Madam Mossfern]

12. He's doing what he should do

don't use the occasion of the storm for political capital. As a New Jersey resident, I don't agree with him or support him politically. However, I won't bash him for doing what's best for the residents of the State.

Also, stop the fat jokes folks; they just make you look mean spirited and Republican.

[synapticwave]

13. Isn't this just "God's will"

They shouldn't have lived in a legitimate storm zone if they didn't want to get fucked!

16. I just woke up to ABC news and Chris Christie was in a short clip where he saidq

something to the effect, "I want to keep you folks safe, if you aren't safe, you can't vote". I am not kidding....It made me jump out of bed to come and check DU.
God these people are nuts.

[RobinA]

17. Well, Since His State

is solid in the Obama column I would assume that's a backhanded push for Obama.
