HIZONORDAGOV of Jersey, Chris Christie

This just stands on it's own!

I recall the words of a caller to Limbaugh's show after this man started to shake things up, paraphrasing the First Lady, "Rush, for the first time in my adult life I am proud to be from New Jersey!"

What I really love was the quote at the end, "...I came here to govern, not to escape, I came here to govern, not to worry about reelection, I came here to do what people sent me here to do..."

Go Gov GO!

UPDATE:

From Legal Insurrection, it looks like HIZONORDAGOV is making more waves:

SOUTH ORANGE -- Gov. Chris Christie will remain the speaker at Seton Hall University School of Law’s graduation ceremony later this month despite a push by some alumni and professors to rescind the invitation, school officials said today.

The law school faculty discussed canceling Christie’s speech to protest his recent decision to not reappoint Associate Justice John Wallace to the state Supreme Court, Seton Hall law school Dean Patrick Hobbs said...

Earlier this month, Christie said he would replace Wallace, the only African-American on the court, at the end of his term because he thought the court overstepped its bounds in recent rulings. The announcement angered many Democrats and legal scholars who said the governor is breaking state tradition and interfering with the court’s independence by not renominating a qualified justice.

Christopher Adams, an attorney and Seton Hall alumnus, proposed "disinviting" Christie in a four-page letter to Hobbs last week.

"It would strike me as terribly inconsistent for a law school to honor a man who has delivered the single largest blow to the independence of the judiciary," wrote Adams, former president of Seton Hall’s student bar association and a former member of the law school’s alumni council.

Adams, a Democrat who voted against Christie, said he spoke to law school professors and students who are considering a boycott or a walkout during Christie’s speech at the Prudential Center in Newark.

Hobbs, the law school dean, said he urged the faculty to remember graduation day should be about the students, not politics.

Christie declined to comment through a spokesman.


He is anoying people who seem to like to pretent to be offended...gotta love it. He must be doing something right!

  1. I hope he doesn't cave like Ahnold did.

  2. I got more "positive waves" with him than Ahnold....Ahnold wanted to be liked by usual suspects in California. Christie wants to fix a problem and seems to enjoy annoying the usual suspects in Jersey. Now can he get his program through the Democratic legislature is still an open question.
