‘We Don’t Give A Sh*t About This Or Any Of You': Chris Christie Lays Into Reporters At ‘Off-The-Cloc

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie struck back at the press with gusto during a roast organized by a journalists’ group on Wednesday, Bloomberg Politics reported.

Christie specifically took shots at political reporter Claude Brodesser-Akner, who heads the New Jersey Legislative Correspondents Club, noting that Brodesser-Akner mentioned earlier in the evening that he did not know what the governor was doing.

“Then just get the f*ck away from me, if you don’t know what I’m doing,” Christie shot back. “Every time I turn the corner in New Hampshire or Iowa or anyplace else, you and that beard are there. So here’s my suggestion: open your eyes, clean the sh*t out of your ears and pay attention.”

At one point, Christie also reportedly touched on another reporter’s auto accident, asking, “Why wasn’t the car bigger and why weren’t more of you in it?”

The prospective GOP presidential candidate opened his speech by introducing himself as “the star of [their] show” and explaining why he did not submit a video to accompany his appearance, unlike previous years.

He probably thought those comments were '"funny".

Proceed, governor......

The blog has been online for about a year and has been accurate. About 10 days ago the blog disappeared. It showed up yesterday with that blurb.

The interesting think is that the Newark Star-Ledger did not reference it. NSL is N.J's largest daily and they can't stand Christie. They print negative Christie articles and editorials at the rate of 3 per week, minimum.

If the Ledger referred to the Chrisite roast, I would accept it as fact. Now, I reserve judgement.

After reading the full Bloomberg article, it believe it is a non-issue.

Chris Christie cannot handle the intense pressures he is being subjected to.
