(2,419 posts)280. Two Years After Sandy.....
its probably time for a dedicated original post to the failure that Sandy recovery truly is in NJ. But for now, I'll just add this item about the day Christie acted like the ass hole that he is to a man who dared to say the emperor has no clothes (sorry for the visual)
Christie to Sandy heckler: 'Sit down and shut up!'
BELMAR On the second anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, a crowd of 350 people stood at the intersection of 7th and Main Street under a mix of sun and clouds. This time, though, a new weather system had blown in: Hurricane Christie, the governor who brooks no hecklers.
When Jim Keady, annoyed at the pace of storm recovery, interrupted Gov. Chris Christie's speech to Belmar reisdents several times, the often combative governor told him: "Sit down and shut up."
As Christie began to speak, Keady, who runs an advocacy organization called Finish the Job, held a sign and shouted: Do your job!"
"Yeah, you do yours, too, buddy, Chrisite shot back, and continued speaking.
But the heckler wasn't standing down, and continued his tirade.
"Now, you all know me," said Christie. So if we're going to get into a debate here today, it's going to get very interesting and very fun."
He wasn't kidding.
I'll be more than happy to have a debate with you anytime you like, guy, because somebody like you doesnt know a damn thing about what you're talking about except to stand up and show off when the cameras are here. I've been here when the cameras aren't here, buddy, and done the work. ... Turn around, get your fifteen minutes of fame, and then, maybe, take your jacket off, roll up your sleeves, and do something for the people of this state."
Keady, who said he is a lifelong resident, continued, "I was here for a month after Sandy, and ..."
Christie finished Keady's sentence for him.
" ... and there's been 23 months since then, when all you've been doing is flapping your mouth and not doing anything. So listen, you want to have the conversation later? I'm happy to have it, buddy. But until that time, sit down and shut up."
