Ron Christie MAY NOT be red-headed, and he MAY NOT be a stepchild, BUT...

...he's getting SPANKED like one on Martin Bashir's MSNBC show by Bashir, Richard Wolffe, and David Corn.

Wolffe pointed out Bush's dismal job creation stats and the fact that tax cuts DID NOT lead to jobs. He then made a reference to "Voodoo Economics" and Christie huffed and puffed "VOODOO ECONOMICS? Is that the BEST you can come up with?"

I was hoping someone would ask that of Christie when he asked if voodoo economics was the best they could come up with. That was a funny segment. Wolff and Corn were nearly pointing at Christie like Bugs Bunny treats an idiot when he holds up signs of a screw going into a ball, a dripping faucet, bats flying out of a belfry, etc.

...and you could see Wolffe look out of the corner of his eye and smirk. It was a "blink and miss it" moment, but it was pretty damned funny.

It was Bush the Elder who coined the term "voodoo economics" to describe Republican supply-side economic policies. Why does Christie hate one of his own?

That would force them to either work for their salary or go broke.
