Chris Christie "A Rotten Bastard," Top New Jersey Democrat Says

So what does New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D) really think of Republican Gov. Chris Christie?
"He’s a rotten prick," Sen. Sweeney said in a shocking, unfiltered interview with The Newark Star Ledger.
The top Senate Democrat accused the governor of using his line-item veto powers to punish Democratic lawmakers.
"Last night I couldn’t calm down," Sweeney said. "To prove a point to me — a guy who has stood side by side with him, and made tough decisions — for him to punish people to prove his political point? He’s just a rotten bastard to do what he did."
Sweeney said Christie promised to consult with him before making cuts, but never did, adding insult to injury.
"I wanted to punch him in his head," Sweeney added.
The intensely personal — and public — spat will undoubtedly harm Christie's ability to marshal the Democrat-controlled legislature to support his legislative agenda, most notably education reform, which will be taken up in the fall.

He’s PO’d that Christie didn’t fall for his smarmy, weasley, greasy good-old-boy ploys and that he wasn’t able to compromise or co-opt Christie.

Being called “a rotten bastard” by a freeloading, commie pig is always a badge of honor. Christie must be doing a great job.
Wow, Gaffer, tough post! :)

“I wanted to PUNCH HIS HEAD!!!” Ah, the party of tolerance and love and kindness strikes again. What language mr. sweeney. Do you speak like that around your own house in front of your own family.
Good for Gov. Christie...he stands his ground and does what is right in spite of irresponsible and hateful, foul mouthed opposition.

Awww... looks like the die-hard Steve Lonegan fans who hate Christie with a passion (no matter what he does!) and the NJ Democrat thugs beholden to union goons are on the same page. Isn't that special? Now all Stephen Sweeney needs to do is start parroting their lies claiming Christie is "a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, Muslim loving social liberal" and he might get some support from "true conservatives"
"He’s a rotten prick...He’s just a rotten bastard to do what he did...I wanted to punch him in his head."

Nancy, pick up the white courtesy phone.
He said both things.

A democrap’s enemy is a conservative’s friend.
But their hate and incivility is ‘for the children’, so it’s OK.
Considering the source, I think Mr. Christie should take it as a compliment.
Why? It seems to me that SANE democrats would want to distance themselves from Mr. Sweenie...
...oh, wait...
...we ARE talking about New Jersey democrats...
Nevermind...
Only when you believe what HE believes, will he be civil towards you.
sounds like Chris struck a nerve, the money nerve, Democrats are twitching like a drunk with the DT’s
That’s a heck of an endorsement. Good for Christie!
