Former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, the Republican nominee for Governor of New Jersey, was just attacked this morning by MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, for being afraid to come on Morning Joe.

Scarborough, who is himself a former Republican Congressman from Florida, was interviewing Christie’s rival, Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine today.

“And by the way, we always get flooded with e-mails, whenever we have the Governor on — why don’t we have Chris Christie on? The answer’s very simple: ’cause he won’t come on,” said Scarborough. “We’ve asked him, and we ask you again, Christie. I don’t know — I mean, my God, if you can’t handle us, you can’t handle Mike Barnicle, you sure as Hell can’t handle the state of New Jersey.”
