(CNN) - Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie insisted Sunday that he was not criticizing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin when he told The New York Times that she "rightfully has been criticized" for consistently following a script.

"It wasn't a criticism of her. It was an observation," Christie said on "Fox News Sunday." "If you avoid those unscripted moments, I don't think the American people will trust their instincts about whether you would make a good president or not."

Christie said voters learn the most about how candidates will govern through the campaign process "when you're not being handled or told what to say but you have to react to situations like this."

Christie must think he has a chance of even reaching first base with her.

1. Oh heavens no, we would not want to criticize Palin.

I think Pawlenty back-tracked on some Palin criticism as well the other day. So sorry my brain is so tired, I can't remember the details.

She's a political deity.

2. Only one solution now for Christie: Apologize to Rush Limbaugh.

Go on his show and grovel. There is No Dissent allowed from the meme that Palin is perfect and Rush is always right. Grovel, governor, grovel.
