Six New Jersey newspapers are running an editorial today asking Gov. Chris Christie to, at long freaking last, go away.
What an embarrassment. What an utter disgrace. [...]
We’re fed up with his long neglect of the state to pursue his own selfish agenda.
We’re disgusted with his endorsement of Donald Trump after he spent months on the campaign trail trashing him, calling him unqualified by temperament and experience to be president.
And we’re fed up with his continuing travel out of state on New Jersey’s dime, stumping for Trump, after finally abandoning his own presidential campaign.
It is impressive how Christie moved so seamlessly from avoiding New Jersey to focus on his presidential run to avoiding New Jersey to focus on Donald Trump's presidential run. Apparently he even likes Donald Trump better than the state he governs—and I didn't think anyone liked Donald Trump that much, Meatloaf included. No, it seems Christie has decided Trump is his last and only shot at ditching the state for a new office in Washington. The vice presidency? Attorney general? Ambassador to Anywhere, For God's Sake, So Long As It's Not New Jersey?
You know, Chris, they have a point. As the great conservative philosopher-governor Sarah Palin once said, only a dead fish swims upstream. Maybe you should make like Paul Revere and start ringin' those bells? What I'm trying to say is that there's no shame in leaving office early to focus full time on your new career of looking angry and sad behind one of Donald Trump's shoulders like a gigantic, bitter pet parrot.
Trump has his own jet, after all. He owns a lot of fancy hotels, of the sort you've always loved to stay in.
You could probably get a discount.
