New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is being asked to apologize for referring to the first black female leader of the state Assembly by race and gender, and not by name, during a meeting at a church.

Christie told an audience Tuesday an "African-American female speaker of the Assembly" is blocking a vote on a school voucher bill that would let children in failing districts attend classes elsewhere.

Democratic Speaker Sheila Oliver later accused the Republican governor of injecting race into the discussion on education.

On Thursday, the church's pastor asked Christie to apologize. He says the governor disrespected the speaker and missed a chance to unite the community.

1. Great! Now he can get that coveted CPUKE speaking slot. nt

2. But, but, wouldn't he make a great Democrat?

I can't get over how people believe this knucklehead backing off the crazy-right establishment makes him any less of a republican troglodyte.

3. It seems NO Republican these days is above using dog whistle.

4. He had to think that using that method would be okay in that church.

So I'm wondering how bad the racism is in that church if at all. Or if in general they were upset too.

5. There goes the Wheaties box.

Fallen from grace, first on the Right and now on the Left. No longer an up and coming superstar. Whoops.

6. W..T...F...I knew he just cut is horns off and tucked his tale...the right doesn't change stripes

7. So can we now refer to him as "the fat white guy?"

since he deals not in names, but in physical descriptions?

8. Why is it that republican Governors with Christie in their name are all bonafide racists?

This is republican governor Christie Todd Whitman back a number of years ago when she was governor and went on a police run, and in a staged photo op, with the biggest grin on her racist face, she frisked someone.
Like Chris Christie, Christie Todd Whitman tried to promoter herself as a moderate.

Later on she got even more famous telling folks that the air by the WTC was fine to breathe.

This is your republican party folks.

What Chris Christie today showed is his true self, that people in NJ always knew.

and btw, this is a major mistake he made. Not now, but for the future.
If he got on a national ticket with Jeb, this will cost him votes in PA.


imho

10. Well, that was stupid.

His remarks were "misinterpreted"? Oh, and does that make him the white gov of NJ?

11. "Hey Teabaggers...can you hear my dog whistle??"

[BootinUp]

13. Sounds like an uppity n- by the Governors standards

Glad we got Chris Christie on the case, he'll destroy his chances for higher office in no time.
