gushing over Christie. Made me ill and I turned it off. Of course they added that they don't agree with him on most things. The message was that he's a great guy. He's not. No wonder we lose elections. No one is asking them to bash his weight, but he doesn't deserve a medal for getting surgery to deal with it either. It's his private business. His public business is what we should be talking about, and the left doesn't seem to want to do that.

The man is a total dick, treats constituents like crap (remember the guy who made the comment about his policies on schools? Christie nearly got into a fistfight with him at the shore), and people have some type of weird idea that he's "tough."

Meanwhile, today there was a news story on how he's taken a BILLION dollars from what we taxpayers have paid in to get homes weatherized so they pollute less. Yeah, he just took the billion and put it into the general fund.

Effing schmuck. I hate this guy.
