http://www.ibtimes.com/election-2016-chris-christie-delivered-profanity-laced-tirade-nj-press-dinner-1933792WASHINGTON -- Gov. Chris Christie, assuring reporters that he is still planning a 2016 presidential campaign, delivered a profanity-laced tirade about the New Jersey press corps on Wednesday night at the annual state Legislative Correspondents Dinner, according to an audio recording of the speech obtained by International Business Times. Even attendees used to Christie's brusque demeanor thought the speech was unusually biting.
The event was officially off the record. But when youre running for president, nothing is ever off the record. Ask Mitt Romney, whose comments about the 47 percent at a fundraiser closed to the press went viral.

Christie, now in his seventh year as governor, seems to have tired of the event. Anything that gets me off this f------ stage next year, Im willing to do anything, Christie said. Why do you think I might run for president? Cause I dont know what primary is in May 2016 next year, but if Im at 1 f------ percent, I will be there.

In past years, Christie has made a video for the event, including one he did with Cory Booker that went viral after his office released it online. But Christie told the roomful of reporters that he wasnt interested in producing more videos.
The reason we dont have a video is that we just dont give a s--- anymore, Christie said.We dont give a s--- about this or any of you.

Yup, I think an endless loop of Krispy saying "we just don't give a sh*t anymore" will be just perfect. C'mon video. There's gotta be one out there.

Some of it seems in jest but there's a real edge to him. It's time to start stepping up the pressure. It will be a real treat to get to yell "thar she blows!"
