New Jersey's loudmouth buffoon of a Governor, Chris "Krispycreme" Christie, was at an outdoor p.r. event yesterday commemorating the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy when demonstrators in the audience stood up with signs asking what had happened to relief funding for their community. One of the demonstrators, former Asbury Park city councilman Jim Keady, wanted to know why $800 million hadn't been allocated to allow people to rebuild. That, apparently, was too much for the easily-angered Krispycreme, who launched into a furious verbal assault ending with Krispycreme telling Keady to "sit down and shut up." Clearly, Krispycreme thinks citizens work for him, not vice versa, especially when he's trying to pat himself on the back.
After his posturing over quarantining nurse Kaci Hickox, he belligerently challenged Hickox, who was in West Africa trying to halt the Ebola outbreak, to sue him over her detention in an isolation tent. People who don't think Krispycreme's anger is out of control are probably the people he wants to appeal to: low-information, angry and confused partisans who love his bullying, authoritarian pose. However, the pose may be getting old with the majority of Americans, who have to wonder how he would handle a genuine crisis as President without blowing his stack -- and potentially blowing up the rest of us with him.
