Chris Christie: ‘Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party’

[Playinghardball]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) says that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has “embarrassed” the Republican Party, but former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney never has.

Following Romney’s devastating loss to Gingrich in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, Christie told NBC’s David Gregory that the former speaker just didn’t have the experience needed to be president.

“I think Newt Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time,” Christie explained. “Whether he’ll do it again in the future, I don’t know. But Gov. Romney never has.”

“We all know the record,” the New Jersey governor continued. “He was run out of the speakership by his own party. He was fined $300,000 for ethic violations. This is a guy who’s had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party.”

6. So Christie's support, endorsement and campaigning for Romney caused Romney to lose by double digits

in S.C. Way to go Christie . Perhaps now we can be done with the salivating media talking about Christie in glowing terms.

7. The establishment is going to savage him again.

This time he's going to fight back and it's going to be a Republican bloodbath. Good times!

8. This coming from a guy who eats lard by the tablespoon for breakfast.

How much more embarrassing can the Republican party get? Let us see now...

Gingrinch, Mr. Frothy, Bachmann, Palin, McCain, The Turtle, Orange Boner, Christie, Walker, Most of Arizona's politicians, Scott, Cheney, the shrub, Eric "Mickey Mouse Voice" Cantor, and the list goes on.

It's the party of dumbfucks and they have two bases - the really rich and the really fucking stupid (also known as "FOX viewers&quot .

9. First off, Gingrich certainly has the *experience* to be president. Not the wisdom, maybe...

and certainly not the judgment. But by any reasonable standard, four years as Speaker of the House is plenty of policy qualification to be president. But more importantly, the Republican Party is embarrassing itself by picking Newt. I assume they don't feel embarrassed, however. Chris Christie is basically assuming that anyone who disagrees with him is not entitled to an opinion. What an obnoxious sense of entitlement. What a great inconvenience this whole one-man-one-vote business must be to the Republican establishment.
