The plane truth: How we caught Chris Christie sunbathing on a closed beach

[brooklynite]

Source: NJ.com

I've successfully hunted fugitives out of the country. I've caught alleged criminals trying to sneak out back doors of their homes or into back doors of courthouses. I've nailed high school basketball coaches warehousing players in their apartments.

Most of the time, I get the shots and make a clean getaway.

But once in a while, when the eyes meet, you know the jig is up.

Then again, it wasn't difficult to find him. There Christie was, with family and friends, on a long and empty stretch of beach near the governor's shore residence, nobody else within a country mile. They were enjoying the beautiful summer day on a beach closed to the public by Christie because of a budget standoff.

[mdbl]

10. just proves to me again their isn't really a god

otherwise the tsunami would have happened.

[Rollo]

58. The only reason a tsunami didn't occur...

Was because Christie didn't do a running belly flop into the ocean.

15. When he stepped into the water?

?

[Lochloosa]

4. Are there open container laws at NJ public beaches?

Just saying....

[rpannier]

8. He'll tell you he is the governor

I guess it's like being king or a mob boss

[obamanut2012]

24. Yup, they aren't allowed

[Hieronymus]

11. His popularity is at 15%. I guess he feels he has nothing to

lose, but he lies so much, like the bridge closure before.
He's repulsive in every way.

[FakeNoose]

42. My brother and his family spent a few thou $ for a Jersey Shore vacation

... this week. Guess what? Their vacation is ruined by this TURD!

Is Christie going to reimburse people for the money they wasted on that loser state?
I hope a lot of lawsuits get filed because of this.

[classykaren]

12. I think he just changed chairs with his wife. Glad he is not wearing a speedo.

[n2doc]

13. Did someone call in to report a beached whale?

I see one in need of help!

14. Well done

Christie doesn't even give a crap anymore.

Funny how it wasn't so long ago that he was Trump's #1 lapdog and people were speculating that he could be VP.

18. The exclusive "shore residences" Federal hurricane money was used to move in billion in sand?

Next hurricane the sand will storm surge away again and lots of federal funds spent to have private beach for 15 homes.

Meanwhile people in New Jersey and even Louisiana have to live in homes still damaged by hurricanes from years ago with no utilities.

[Laxman]

19. He Denied He Had Been To The Beach....

at his news conference before he was busted by the photos. As if this wasn't a bad enough move....News flash! This just in. Scumbag acts like scumbag. Not really a surprise.

There are so many to choose from, but I personally think this is the most devastating of @AndyMills_NJ's Christie photos.

25. It is if you combine it with this one...

Same plane, from a position further north, looking at the beaches of Berkeley Township and South Seaside Park (which are locally-operated and open) viewing southward toward the closed Island Beach State Park where Crispie Creme and Clan are located.

[Bengus81]

21. So what is one mile north of where fat ass is?

Are you back in NY? I was looking on my Google Map but couldn't really see.

[JHB]

29. See #25 above. You're at local beaches that are extra-crowded because the state beach is closed.

1.29 miles, actually, from his location to the border of the town beaches, according to Google Maps.

[Bengus81]

37. OK thanks...local vs State owned......n/t

30. Google maps link to the location of the building behind them

there's enough in that cooler to feed an army.

26. Republicans really think they're special

republican closes beaches to everyone else, goes and has a Beach Blanket Blast for himself at taxpayer expense.

Totally sucky republican values.

[Historic NY]

28. Whale on the beach........

[videohead5]

32. Yeah

I'm surprised someone did not contact Greenpeace...

[onetexan]

50. more like a BEACHED whale

[dlk]

33. Republican Entitlement

Christie has a history of entitled behavior. Earlier in his tenure, he used a state helicopter (at taxpayer expense) to attend one of his children's sporting events. This is just more evidence of the entitled, freeloading culture of elected Republicans.

[turbinetree]

34. What an asshole

Now whats he going to say sit down a shut up............................., no he is already doing that part, again what a fucking asshole

And he still gets his pay check being an asshole,

35. Big Turd....

36. Woke up this morning to find it's got the top spot on Twitter!

A meme is born!



The least he could have done was go to one of she shore's public beaches -- I hope something can be organized for tomorrow!

38. Let me guess...Elect another Republican Governor in NJ in 2017??

Just like Kansas,just keep pulling a lever for those Republicans who hurt people the most--usually the poor and working class.

[rpannier]

55. If history is any indication, it's most likely a Democrats

former Gov Kean was the last Governor to be elected or re-elected Governor who belonged to the same party as the President and that was in the late 80's (Bush and Kean both Republicans)
Since then, it has flipped depending on who the President is:
Clinton-Whitman
Bush-McGreevey (Codey)
Bush-Corzine
Obama-Christie

[rocktivity]

39. As a public service, and to give us something to do for tomorrow

44. Chris Christie Slams Reporter for Asking 'TMZ Stuff' Over Sunbathing Scandal

Last edited Sun Aug 28, 2022, 04:08 PM - Edit history (1)

TMZ: ...At a news conference when a reporter dared to ask him if he got a tan while sitting on a beach the NJ Governor closed down, firing back, "We're talking about the closure of government and you're talking about your TMZ stuff."

The most hilarious part ... after Christie left the beach over the weekend, he was asked if he had gotten any sun and said, "I didn't get any sun today." Then photos surfaced and his spokesperson gyrated ... "He did not get any sun. He had a baseball hat on."

46. The question remains...

Why do Whales Beach themselves?

[Cha]

48. and christie tells reporters when confronted..

".. what a scandal!.." like the arrogant asshole he is.

[mackdaddy]

49. So how is this not an ILLEGAL Abuse of Power?

He decides to use a Closed state beach for his own personal enjoyment and use. He is abusing his position as the Governor to go onto closed state property that anyone else would be arrested for trespassing for being on their own state reserves.

I think this is a bigger deal than just being a self-righteous entitled prick.

File criminal charges against the ass hole.

51. Weight

This may sound petty but it is an honest observation. This guy had his stomach stapled to lose weight. He looks bigger then ever. His food addiction must be overwhelming to stay huge after having weight loss surgery.

[FakeNoose]

52. Yes I noticed that too

He did look thinner a couple years ago, but now it seems he's back to where he was.
Maybe his wife cooks real Italian with all the breads and pastas? I couldn't guess.

I'll just leave this here for your enjoyment.

[rocktivity]

53. He fills the emptiness of his psyche with food -- it's his drug of choice

Successful stomach stapling requires that you eat less, eat smarter, and most important, conquer your addiction to food.

54. Down at the beach, I'm a lucky man.

I'm the only one to get a tan...

[kskiska]

56. Too bad he wasn't au natural.

59. That would violate the Geneva Convention
