HaHa... GOP Golden (Big) Boy Chris Christie Gets Booed At Seton Hall Commencement
Chris Christie Gets Booed At Seton Hall Commencement



New Jersey governor Chris Christie was loudly booed at Seton Hall's graduation ceremony earlier today, where he delivered a commencement address to the university's 2,281 graduates. One student even yelled "shut up" in the middle of the speech.

The Setonian has more: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/05/greeted_by_boos_gov_christie_t.html

Christie acknowledged those who did not welcome him, and began his speech as a "proud alumnus" of Seton Hall.

He referred to a New York Times Magazine cover that referred to him as "the disruptor," and said, "I think a disruptor is someone who is willing to challenge the status quo."

"You need to be a disruptor in the way that your heart and your mind tells you to be a disruptor," he added.

Christie has been a subject of controversy after he proposed heavy budget cuts to New Jersey's education system.

2. He is a F_in bully. Why do MSM and others enable such a
despicable asshole without making it clear how horrendously rude and crude he is to his own constituents?

6. Popular with the Mainstream Media
They've painted him as the republican party's golden child. They rarely if ever criticize him. I wonder if they'll report on this incident.

8. The meme that Christie is the GOP's "golden boy"
and so G-D popular is going to come crashing down hard on them sooner or later. This guy needs to win re-election before people can rightfully claim that he is "popular".

9. Good for them!
I'd normally not be an advocate for bullying, but I'll make an exception in the case of Phony Soprano.

10. Typical RePUKEism: celebrating and idolizing bullies. Gee, what would Jesus think?
Ever notice how RePUKES love bullies? They love also love war, guns, helping the rich, ridiculing the poor, and on and on. They are a bunch of hyprcritical slime. Here they are just loving this asshole of an arrogant BULLY. Gee, what would Jesus think of that? I think they need to re-read the new testament.

12. Apparently the national Republican
Edited on Wed May-18-11 06:50 AM by Enthusiast
establishment doesn't realize just how repulsive most of us find this fat little Nazi wannabe fuck.

I mean, on a scale of repulsiveness Christie falls somewhere between Limbaugh and Gingrich. And this certainly isn't only because his waistline is out of control. Remember how much hope the National Republican Party placed in Fred Thompson. I think Republican insiders have similar hopes for Christie for some time in the future. I think they will be sadly mistaken. :rofl:
