Well the roosters are coming home to roost. For those of you who were waiting for an event to turn on this man physically, it has. From the NJ Ledger.
Christie booed mercilessly -- twice -- at the Haskell
OCEANPORT — It was one long happy celebration at Monmouth Park for the great American Pharoah's latest victory. At least, that is, until Gov. Chris Christie stepped into the Winner's Circle to present the trophy.
And then, the record crowd of 60,983 booed.
Long.
Loud.
Sustained.
Update:
The Asbury Park Press weighs in.
And .... A little more just a bit south.
Update Two: Video Link
Schadenfreude? Nah..... We folks on this site are compassionate and would never Revel (no pun) in someone like Chris Christies misfortune. Ya Right,
I think of the 85% of the people that are still not even close to together after Sandy: I Think of a closed bridge: I think of lies on earned pensions and so much more : I think of corruption: I think of insults to so many common people like a nurse coming back from fighting Ebola: I think of Exxon deals : And Port Authority corruption ; I think of him running for president and holding New Jersey's hostage : I think of Obstruction of Justice : I Think of too, too many bad things, in some cases, evil things.
Booed? It is mind boggling his advisors let him step anywhere near this many New Jerseyans. Let alone near the shore where families are still homeless in too many communities.
But then most of his staff are under indictment or threat of indictment down the line. So who knows who is left to save this guy. The longer the media and "the law" let's this guy get away with this charade the more the backlash will be. Today they saw and heard it. We will see.
America: The natives are very restless.
6:41 PM PT: We searched the Globe (well the Star Ledger at least) for a video of Christie getting booed at Monmouth Park.
