Completely denies the racial overtones or motivations of the disrespect regularly shown to the President. What's his problem, Stockholm Syndrome?

shaking my head and wondering what the hell happened to you guys? The repugs kicked Michael's ass to the curb so fast and hard he took a moment to get his bearings. Still, he talks for them even when it has to sound stupid even to him. Christie's just plain old out there. His mom might have been standing when she delivered him. All of the African American repug pundits are suspicious. The one they pulled out of the woodpile after he took 3/4 of a million from Bush to promote No Child Left Behind (Armstead Williams?). . . all of them. Being black scares them. They all want to go Michael Jackson when it comes to calling it what it is. Racism.

Don't blame it on the sunshine,
Don't blame it on the moonlight,
Don't blame it on the good times,
Blame it on the boogie.

that we should be celebrating him as a hero. By distancing himself from Munro he merely avoided falling into the lunatic Trump-Taits fringe of the Republican party, but I'm sure tomorrow he'll be up to his old tricks as an apologist for trickle down economics and the 1%.

Christie immediately compared it to distant episodes with other politicians. This was meant to emphasize the fact that it is not racial in any way. It is politics. Right. And, his eyes are straight.

a whiny, mean-spirited tool. The other day he got all pissy because Martin Bashir asked him to let the other guest finish speaking. He acted like a five year old child.

Some people just aren't good at television and I have to wonder if MSNBC puts him on because he makes the right look so awful.
