Election 2016: Chris Christie Delivered Profanity-Laced Tirade At NJ Press Dinner

http://www.ibtimes.com/election-2016-chris-christie-delivered-profanity-laced-tirade-nj-press-dinner-1933792

WASHINGTON -- 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 you’re 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.

(snip)

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, I’m willing to do anything,” Christie said. “Why do you think I might run for president? Cause I don’t know what primary is in May 2016 next year, but if I’m at 1 f------ percent, I will be there.”

(snip)

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 wasn’t interested in producing more videos.

“The reason we don’t have a video is that we just don’t give a s--- anymore,” Christie said.“We don’t give a s--- about this or any of you.”

(end snip)

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.

The "loveable buffoon" politicians are as damaging as the corrupt politicians and Christie is both.

This alone would scuttle him if he waded (or waddled) into the GOP ClownPool.

right to Volume III of the Crime Digest. He's clearly gone off the rails. I think he's close to a real public melt down.

the ice cream cone on the boardwalk video. Listen to his sarcastic bit here:

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!"
