We are borrowing splices from the conservative web site Townhall Dot Com to facilitate a point, or two, about Chris Christie’s charade appearance with 1,500 at the Economic Club of Chicago. We are in no way criticizing the website. In fact, the site is a breathe of fresh air when compared to many Right-wing web pages.
Christie’s performance in Chicago was typical Christie and typical GOP regarding Christie’s use of humor about a question related to a developing set of scandals. Scandals that are closing-in on his office and could result in legal action against the governor. Either the Economic Club crowd cares nothing about the prospect of Christie’s bullying tactics to extract political gain, or they are (collectively) simple-minded enough to continue to find Christie’s demeanor appealing. I suspect both!
As I sought information to develop this piece, I ran across something absolutely intriguing. Sarah Palin gas publicly commented that Christie knew all regarding the developing scandals.
Allow a brief digression.

I am posting a Palin video segment with a link to the TPM Live piece. I asked that you forgive me for posting the entire video of 2:21 minutes. Why ask for forgiveness? Palin in responded to a question by rambling through a lethargy of comments that she cannot make in front of a mirror. Watch how she responded to the first interview question about competent politicians and elections. She has a history of only one successful political election (beyond the PTA) in her life-time and that term ended in a money-grab quit within 2.5 years. After the first few seconds of the interview, Palin responds to another question about Christie’s troubles.

Again forgive me for the two minute exposure to Palin. Now, why would a person with absolutely no credible reason to comment about success in politics “go there?” Her comments are a bit drastic as I consider other conservative comments about Christie’s potential cover-up. The answer is simple. Palin knows that among her tea party brethren, Christie is “toast” (Excuse the pun). Now, back to Townhall Dot Com and a peep at why the opportunistic Palin feeds in Christie’s low-hanging cookie jar (again excuse the food metaphors).

Surprise: Chris Christie Finishes Dead Last in 2016 Tea Party Poll Daniel Doherty | Feb 12, 2014

Yes, of course, we noticed the zaniness of the reported “quasi-scientific” poll. Ted Cruz is the big winner. A polling result that speaks volumes about the poll respondents. What is a “quasi-scientific” poll. Does that mean the polling questioners posed questions at a tea party rally? Maybe, it means the questions were posted on the Fox News website? In any scenario, Cruz came through the winner and Palin’s comments about Christie are simple dumping on the ‘guilty’ downtrodden. Watch for Palin’s (fork in bowl) comments in negative ads should Christie actually run for the GOP nomination 2016.

Christie at the Economic Club of Chicago
The governor was speaking to an audience of 1,500 during his fundraising swing through the Illinois on behalf of the Republican Governors’ Association.
After the snippet of humor regarding Christie’s Administration scandal the hour long interview foray into what can be described only as TOP 1% GOP “OOZFest” replete with ample numbers of Christie’s “scumcicles” to garner a million dollar payday.
The following MSNBC morning segment illustrates what it takes to appeal to GOP Top 1% (ers). Christie equates the proposed minimum wage increase and of income disparity/inequality to the seeking of “mediocrity.” The segment is relevant to my point starting at the 2:50 mark.
http://on.msnbc.com/1fgRxNo Christie’s elitist appeal to the Chicago one per-centers is very much like Mitt Romney’s relegating half the nation to that of the “47%” (ers). The Hill.….
You want income equality? That is mediocrity,” he said, according to the New York Times. “Everybody can have an equal, mediocre salary.”
Christie apparently, felt the crowd needed more wallet and check account loosening fodder to facilitate passing the tithes bowl. While speaking about George W. Bush, Christie actually went here.
Huffington Post.…..Excerpt (speaking of Bush)
“The guy won two national elections,” Christie said. “How easy has that looked the last 8 years. He was, first, an outstanding political candidate. And I think he was grossly underappreciated by his own country and his own party as a politician.”
“No one ever had a question where he stood, either foreign or domestically,” he added.
The two men have a long history. Bush nominated Christie as United States Attorney for New Jersey in 2001. The Washington Post reported that some viewed him as unqualified for the position and “[m]any attributed his appointment to his fundraising prowess for Bush.”
Christie proves he is a major opportunist. First, Bush was selected for the presidency via a flawed set of legal maneuvers up to and including Pontius Pilate handling by the SCOTUS.

Pilate presenting a scourged Jesus to the people of
More important the world knows George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condi Rice and others administered the worse presidency in US history (almost bar none). Christie provides sophisms to the crowd that obviously cares nothing about ….
- 4,500 plus deaths in Iraq (For nor reason beyond a pure want)
- A Great Recession based on two wars an cutting taxes
- War expenditures hidden among legitimate budgets
- Embassy deaths that far exceed the losses in Banghazi
- Cronism that contribute 39 billions dollars to Dick Cheney
- No bid Halliburton Contracts
- Years of No financial markets regulation that contributed to the Sub-prime crisis; a catalysts for the 2007 Great Recession
- Possible war crimes sanctioned back through the White House
- The outing of Valerie Plame in the run-up to Iraq
Christie on Bush: “No one ever had a question where he stood, either foreign or domestically.” Millions should have questions where stood universally. Obviously the ill-fated governor forgets that the very people to which he spoke watched as the GOP and RNC hid the Bush leadership team from election events until Rice spoke at the RNC convention.
Watching the New Jersey Governor raise money for the GOP will be fun, fun, fun, until the legal system takes his “Shtick” away!
