Yesterday's Haskell Invitational horse race at Monmouth Park, NJ was easily won by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. There to present the winner's trophy and to bask in the reflected glory of the magnificent horse was New Jersey Governor and man-who-will-never-be-President Chris "Krispykreme" Christie. However, when the capacity crowd of nearly 61,000 fans saw Krispykreme step into the winner's circle to present the trophy, loud and sustained booing rained down on the unpopular Governor. Later, during remarks by the horse's trainer and owner, when Krispykreme's name was mentioned, the loud, sustained booing started again. They know their governor well (unlike Beltway political analysts, who would consider him a "talent" and "well-qualified.")
Krispykreme is vying for a spot on stage at Thursday's Rethuglican poo-fling, along with other failed governors like Louisiana's economy-wrecking Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal and former Texas Gov. and future LensCrafter spokesman Rick "Oops" Perry. It would be satisfying to see all three miss Fux "News'" 10 candidate cut-off and wind up at the "kid's table" debate leading up to the main event, where they can discuss each others' sorry records in their states.
