MORNING JOE tearing down Christie (even Joe...)

[brooklynite]

His "Sit Down and Shut Up" outburst marks him as a "angry man" and won't play well in the Presidential Primaries where there are a lot more potential things to get upset about.

[B Calm]

1. I saw the Christie outburst on the national news and I saw a FASCIST!

[Hoppy]

2. It worked well for Ronnie Raygun.

"Aw, shut up." to protestors. And the peeps saw, "Here is a guy who will stand up to these hippies."

[leftynyc]

5. Reagan did it with a smile

Christie is just an angry man. I don't think Ronnie ever told anybody to sit down and shut up. It will be fun watching him take on the other candidates in the primaries when they lie about his record (as is always the case in primaries).

9. Actually, he never did that...

...the piece of video you remember was when he was actually being berated by a Republican Congressional candidate. He was never impolite in public.

3. Not only is Christie irritating, but that adoring wife of his with her sick grin turns my stomach.

Christie is going to be here, today. Not leaving the house for Branstad NOR Christie. Yesterday was McCain and Ernst. Missed them, as well. I'm on a roll.

Yuck to them all!

[Hoppy]

6. She's from the town of Stepford.

7. +1 That explains it!

LOL

13. Glad someone else sees her sick grin.

She sickens me as much as Christie.

4. He won't be the nominee

And Christie is at his worst . . . when he's in trouble.

He's all polish and charm when something big is going on. When it's time to peek under the covers -

Is when he gets pissy.

Me - I'm waiting for the next big boom. Something is coming. Maybe it's nose-picking gate or something - but it's not the person in front of him he's angry at.

He explodes when his back gets put up against the wall.

[malaise]

8. Please please please

make the person Paul Fishman

14. Remember how sweet Christie was during the bridge press conference?

Even when he was asked challenging questions, he didn't huff and puff like he usually does. Another reason why I think he knew! If he's being pissy, he's being genuine!

15. It doesn't even matter at this point

Sweeney had to have known at the time of last year's Gubernatorial election.

I'm so angry at the in state Democratic Party for fellating this asshole.

[Mike Daniels]

10. Donny Deutsch has been saying for months that Christie's bullying method will not go over well

come primary season and every time he tried to make that case both Joe and Mika disagreed with him saying that "the public loves his tough guy image. It's only the media that calls it a problem".

I don't know what caused them to see this event differently but it seems that they've woken up from their "fan club" mentality at this point. Maybe because the guy Christie was having a melt-down over was raising a legitimate concern vis a vis Sandy payouts?

11. Christie looked like an ass

He kept getting angrier and angrier. That glare he trained on the dude right before "sit down and shut up" was the rage of a bully being made a fool of in public.

Kudos to the heckler for pantsing that shithead in public.

[wheniwasincongress]

12. Yeah they don't like him anymore

earlier this week they were saying that he won't come back on the show anymore! But Joe has replaced his Christie love with Jeb love, even saying "I love Jeb Bush" two or three times within one minute the other day.

16. It would have been funny if someone would have handed Christie a gaint Snickers bar. nt
