Teachers Union's Memo The Latest Salvo In War Of Words With Gov. Christie
HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBS) ―

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn't laughing about a teachers union's memo that hints of his death.

The memo is the latest salvo in a war of words between Christie and the union over wage and benefits concessions.

The Record of Bergen County obtained the Bergen County Education Association memo that includes a closing prayer:

"Dear Lord this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

Association president Joe Coppola says the "prayer" was a joke and was never meant to be made public.

1. Yep, stupid.

:wow:

2. While it was clearly a joke, I've heard other versions of it before, the

"it was never meant to be made public" is really just about the worst defense one can use. The old "regretful choice of words", "I misspoke" and even the "overzealous unnamed staffer" are better than the "We never meant for anyone to find out".

3. agreed. terrible defense.

4. Would Rush, Beck apologize?

Let it go. And actually, it *is* kinda funny.

6. do you really want to put teachers' unions in the same

category as Limbaugh and Beck.

It's fodder for the other side.

remarkably and infuriatingly stupid of them.

5. Stuff like this just drives me nuts.. because it gives cover to the demonic on the

other side. You can take this to the bank.. they will be on talk radio 24/7 at how the unions are praying for the death of the governor.. and how bad the left is, and unions are .. etc etc etc.. and to cover their own misdeeds in promoting violence towards the left.

I have no patience with stuck on stupid.

8. I hate when our guys do it.

It is double dumb.

9. It's not funny when republicans do it and neither is it funny when we do it

What a dimwit
