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?
"Hes 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 couldnt 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? Hes 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.

Christe is doing an okay job. I’d think more of him if the moochers were rioting in the streets. I’d really like him if some “lone nut” took a shot at him because that is proof positive that he’d done something that upset the PTB. JFK promised to breakup the CIA and the Federal Reserve and look what happened to him!
If the RATs hate him that much (and I’m not a big fan either) he must be doing SOMETHING right. When you start catching flak, you know you are over the target!
I wouldn’t live in NJ for love or money, but, darn - that governor is doing a helluva a job there. Kudos to Christie for ticking off the Demon RATS. He has gained a few points in my book too. Way to go governor! Way to go!
We have RULES here! If you want to move in, you have to get a liberal to LEAVE!
;^)
Coming from that source, it's high praise.
I remember someone saying “We Won, Get Over It!”
That saying might apply here.
I've seen those claims posted at FR many times by "true conservatives"
Hey now! Just because he looks like Bobby Baccalieri?
That’s no way to talk! Let’s have some civility around here!
“Mr. Sweeney, there are two NJ State Troopers here. They’d like to have a word with you—something about threatening the Governor?”
Head Dem thinks Christie’s a rotten prick.
I can think of no greater endorsement for Christie, either as governor or president.
Please run, Governor Christie. I agree with Ann Coulter.
Please run!!

HEY!...Now c'mon, make up your mind...
Oh....I thought you were talking about the president.
Sweeney looks crooked, doesn’t he ?
Sweeney has a gem of a demeanor. /sarc He’s fine as long as you yes everything he wants for the union cabal.
The NJ Legislature coverage on WNJN displays a crude circus of corrupt union bosses punctuated occassionally by the snivelings of RINOs trying to curry favor with suburbanites. And then there are a few conservatives sprinkled in who seem entirely out of place.
He looks like a union thug.
That is the one. Thanks
