New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was booed as he took the stage at the Super Bowl handoff ceremony in Times Square on Saturday.

As if it weren't enough that his former ally, ex-Port Authority Official David Wildstein, is saying that there is evidence Christie knew about the George Washington Bridge lane closings that caused a monstrous days-long traffic jam in Fort Lee -- now he's getting booed in public, too.

The crowd jeered as Christie took the podium to "hand off" the Super Bowl to Arizona, the host of next year's big game:

1. No Super Bowl hosting for Seattle's future. City was told the weather was too bad

to host a Super Bowl. Looks like Christie has more "pull."

[SunSeeker]

16. How the fuck did NJ get the Superbowl?!

[rhett o rick]

24. Great question. nm

[PatrynXX]

36. cause there's alot of other great people in NJ

Chris ain't one of them... although was Blago ever booed . can't remember. wonder if he'll be in a jail cell next to Blago. They'll have hair fights. and Blago I still don't mind. Corrupt yes. but what he did was small games compare to Chris

[SunSeeker]

47. There's a lot of great people everywhere, no offense.

And yeah, what Blago did was NOTHING compared to Christie. Blago never blocked an ambulance, he didn't deny a town that was 80% under water federal disaster money.

[11 Bravo]

37. Because the NFL rewards owners who are able to coerce the public into financing a new stadium.

It's simple, really.

[SunSeeker]

41. Speaking of stadiums, who the fuck spends $1.6 Billion on a roofless stadium in NJ?

At a construction cost of approximately $1.6 billion, MetLife stadium is the most expensive stadium ever built and is the largest stadium in the NFL in terms of permanent seating capacity. Yet it is a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city. WTF?

We have never had a Superbowl in a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city---for obvious reasons.

[hollysmom]

45. hey, this is not the coldest Superbowl ever -

Supposedly that one in New Orleans was colder - go figure. and stop picking on my state, Foot ball originated at Princeton - New Jersey. It is meant to be played in the cold.

[SunSeeker]

46. New Orleans has a DOME. So should NJ.

Most folks aren't as hardy as you apparently are. If you're going to build such a major, multi-use stadium, shouldn't you accomodate us folks who can go into hypothermia sitting for hours in below freezing temperatures?

And football was originally played in the fall, not in the dead of winter.

[hollysmom]

53. Hey tell the green bay packers about cold weather

It has been below zero in NJ in October, not recently, but 44 is not really cold for foot ball. I thought sports were for the hardy type anyway. I can't imagine that foot ball is a good sport to sweat in. doesn't domed mean artificial turf? I hear that is really bad for sport, especially knees and as one who had knee operations, very painful. You are better slogging around in mud.

Look, if I knew what I was talking about, I wouldn't be hiding in my house not going on the roads at all because some people have rented out part of their houses around here. Seeing how bad the hotels look, I am not surprised people would rent rooms. it is all in good fun.

[SunSeeker]

56. I agree, astroturf sucks. That is why the Superbowl should be where there is grass & good weather.

Southern California has a lot of places like that.

[Lifelong Protester]

60. I agree, all this palaver about "cold" weather

I live in WI- 42 is not cold weather.

[GP6971]

52. And the owner of

the Hawks is extremely low profile

[rhett o rick]

68. Seattle coughed up a new stadium in 2002 and still no Super Bowl. There is more to

it, I suspect.

[madinmaryland]

54. You really need to ask that question? What city is the financial capitol of the world???

mim shakes his head.

[SunSeeker]

55. Rutherford, NJ is the financial capitol of the world?

LOL

[madinmaryland]

58. Obviously, you are not part of the New Yorkcentric world, where everything else

is flyover country.

[SoCalDem]

61. We should alternate between Miami & San Diego

East Coast/West Coast.. always good weather..lots of hotels..flights.

[SunSeeker]

62. Me like!!!!

[tavalon]

67. Glancing outside, I see nary a cloud in the sky

I live in Seattle proper. But they are right, most of the time, in the winter we are soggy, soggy, soggy.

[Skittles]

2. EVERYONE can relate to being stuck in traffic

and everyone can relate to what it would feel like if an ambulance was delayed for them or their loved ones - Christie would be better off if it was a simple sex scandal

[House of Roberts]

7. If it was a sex scandal, he could deny it.

Everyone would believe him.

[Mira]

11. Yes. n/t

[CTyankee]

13. Oh, my...

my brain needs a bleach shampoo now...

[House of Roberts]

19. Sorry about the mental image,

but that proves my point.

[Whisp]

21. omg lol

but we'll get heck for this, just you wait and see!

[Divernan]

33. Absolutely!

[texanwitch]

8. In that one picture he looked so lonely.

Looks like the wind is knocked out of his sails.

[CTyankee]

35. Now he knows how that feels when he tries to humiliate people...

a taste of his own medicine?

I can't wait for Kornacki and Perry tomorrow...all of this is getting gooder and gooder...

[LuvNewcastle]

10. Imagine how humiliated a woman would be if she were outed for

having an affair with Christie! Only a cheap hooker would be able to live that one down.

[Skittles]

12. I would not count on that cheap hooker living it down

no INDEED

[11 Bravo]

57. I would not count on her surviving the encounter.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. There are women attracted to power....

Of course, they would be GONE given his current situation.

[Ed Suspicious]

27. Cause he's fat or cause he's evil or both?

[Skittles]

48. ooh no I was not thinking of his weight at all

I was thinking of his character and notoriety - no, you will never see me making fun of overweight people, never

[11 Bravo]

38. I wonder what kind of sex scandal a guy who hasn't seen his dick in 30 years could be involved in.

[Beacool]

43. OK, no one deserved that mental image.

[Squinch]

3. I guess when you try to publicly humiliate constituents who are teachers, parents and vets, it

creates some wicked bad karma!

So sad.

Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

[broiles]

6. No.

[Squinch]

9. .

[CTyankee]

14. I'm not only smiling...I am outright giggling...

restores my faith in the karma thing...

[riqster]

25. Remember ," karma is only a bitch if you are".

I love that expression.

[3catwoman3]

28. Ooooh...

...that is excellent. I love it too.

[LuvNewcastle]

4. That's funny. Honestly, I can't think of many politicians I would applaud these days.

Far more of them are corrupt than not. Christie's a symbol of the corruption rampant in this country, and I'd love to see an example made of him.

[Cha]

5. Awwwww

Let's hope if he shows his head tomorrow he'll get booed again. And, why shouldn't he? Christie did a bad bad thing or millions$$$$$$.

[barnabas63]

15. Chistie should start hanging out with Justin Bieber..

..might help his popularity.

[SunSeeker]

17. My my my how the worm has turned.

[Raine]

18. I love it when a bully gets some payback! :-) nt

[Whisp]

20. K&R to the stars!

I want to see pics of his expression. The filthy turd I'm guessing would be defiant instead of ashamed.

edit: pic from OP link:


fucking criminal caught look

[flamingdem]

44. His face appears to be melting

and falling off! He's a witch! (apologies to Pagans everywhere).

[malaise]

59. Damn he looks beaten

Well he is beaten

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

22. How appropriate. A Christie hand-off to Jan Brewer.

Did she give him her famous finger?

[JanT]

31. LOL good one! nt

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

23. They weren't booing. They were yelling booooomer!

His nickname from high school.

Not really, I just thought I'd throw the guy a bone. The last couple of weeks have been tough for him.

[d_b]

39. maybe they really were yelling boomer,

the monster from the Left 4 Dead games

[Rozlee]

64. That's what I get for snacking at my computer.

[bkanderson76]

29. I Don't Care if They're Democrats, Republicans or Independents....

I don't want to see ANY politicians at sporting events....(although this might be the exception)

[W.J. McCabe]

30. Is he still in office?

I can't imagine he will be for much longer.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. How have the mighty fallen...collector of bad and doubtful debts

[malaise]

34. The comments are priceless

[dorkzilla]

40. I saw Jan Brewer walking yesterday in mid-town, was wondering "WTF is SHE doing in Manhattan?"

I had an overwhelming urge to shake my finger at her.

[yellowcanine]

69. She deserves to be booed every time she shows her face also......

[dorkzilla]

70. I'm with you on that one! n/t

[Beacool]

42. Ahhhh, the plans of mice and men..........

Christie was on a high after his landslide win in November. He saw himself as having a strong chance of becoming the GOP nominee in 2016. Some polls were even showing him a 2-3 points above Hillary, the only Republican to poll so well.

But, a person can't go through life stepping over the bodies of others without expecting that it will come back to bite him at some point in time. That time has come for Christie. It must be with shock and utter disbelief the realization that his presidential dreams are over and that he will be lucky if he manages to keep his current job.

The Super Bowl was supposed to be one more thing that he could brag about. He probably never imagined that he would be booed and seen as nothing more than a Tony Soprano wannabe.

It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

[HubertHeaver]

63. Christie for President!11! 2048

Figure he is out of jail by 2040. That gives him 8 years to rehab his name. He could make a run for it then.

Then again, he could just make a run for Brazil now.

[NastyRiffraff]

49. Is it wrong that I'm smiling? n/t

[Iggo]

50. Good.

Piece of shit deserves it.

[Liberal_in_LA]

51. lol

[Loaded Liberal Dem]

65. But, but he'll still be floating over the stadium, right?

I'll be very disappointed if I don't see

[tavalon]

66. Stick a fork in him

He is done.
