Travel Advisory: Expect Lane Closures In North Wildwood, NJ (UPDATED)

Man- who- will- never- be- President Gov. Chris "Krispykreme" Christie (R-NJ) is getting record low approval numbers in his home state.  It's no wonder why:

North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello, a Republican, said he was disappointed after Christie called him "crazy" for saying Winter Storm Jonas was worse than Superstorm Sandy.  [snip]

"It's just disappointing that a man, who is the governor of New Jersey, a man who wants to be president of the United States, would lower the discourse in a situation such as this," he added.  [snip]

Rosenello accused Christie of disrespecting first responders and the residents of his community, who saw major damage to their homes and businesses amid swells of water up to 10 feet tall.

"My biggest concern is the complete and utter disrespect that he has shown to the first responders, the fireman and police," the mayor said. "For him to just completely disrespect the efforts they've put forth this past weekend is unconscionable. And lastly, the residents, the business owners, who today are tearing walls out of their houses, tearing up carpets; their lives have been completely disrupted. And his lack of compassion is unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it, quite frankly, from an elected official."  (our emphasis)

Some city's disaster relief might be slow in coming, if you know what we mean and we think you do. "Compassion" is not a trait we would ever associate with Krispykreme.  Arrogance, bullying, hypocrisy, dishonesty, vindictiveness, yes;  never "compassion."

UPDATE:  If you've been affected by the flooding in New Jersey, you'd better have your own mop.

With Chris Christie, Familiarity Breeds Contempt

Gov. Chris "Krispykreme" Christie (R-Toast) is another Republican "presidential" candidate occupying the so- called "establishment" Republican lane (where, we hope, he's displaying the "Wide Load" sign on his caboose).  He's challenging front- runners Donald "Rump" Trump, Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz and Sen. Marco "Glug Glug" Rubio in New Hampshire, aided by the endorsement of the state's long- time wingnut propaganda rag, the Union Leader.  Lucky for Krispykreme New Hampshire Republicans haven't had the privilege of his stewardship, because

New Jerseyans, it seems, positively hate the job he’s doing for the state.

On Sunday, our @issue section featured our own annual gubernatorial report card on Christie, as well as the results of a reader survey conducted by the Asbury Park Press, our sister paper, as well as this newspaper. He received little more than Cs and Ds from us on a variety of issues, and he flunked in a few areas for 2015, when he has essentially checked out to run for President.

But from the readers’ perspective, we were generous. More than 1,300 people responded and they found Christie to be a failure across the board, the majority giving him Fs in every policy area. It is a remarkably negative assessment that also reflects recent polling that shows Christie’s approval rates in the state at all-time lows.  [snip]

He’s been a disaster on the environment. He took the easy way selling out to ExxonMobil on a pollution settlement, and bowing to corporate powers on pipeline proposals. He’s done nothing about transportation funding and has been embarrassingly weak on gun control. On education he has been far too focused on criticizing public schools that consistently rank as among the best in the nation.  [snip]

Christie is trying to convince a national audience that he’s the right man to lead the country and become one of the most powerful people in the world. Yet his own home state mostly hates his performance as governor. There’s no way to turn that reality into a point in his favor.   (our emphasis)

Another of the Serious- Pundit- deemed "deep bench" of "qualified and talented" Republican charlatans crooks demagogues failures candidates!
