Seems like the hug Republican presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones after a football game in January paid off.
Jones is scheduled to host a fundraiser for Christie Wednesday night at his mansion, according to a Wednesday report in The Dallas Morning News.
The public display of affection in January called into question who footed the bill for Christie to attend the game and Christie’s relationship with Jones, who had been working with the Port Authority, which Christie helps oversee as governor, according to NBC.
Jones’ fundraising event is closed to the public and tickets start at $1,000, according to the newspaper.
We really gotta start taxing the wealthy more in this country.
And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of the anti-trust exemptions for pro sports.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
There’s no fool like an old fool.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Christie has a better chance of replacing Tony Romo at QB than become the POTUS in 2016.
So this is what Christie meant when he said if he’s seen as more huggable, he’d win the election. Hugs don’t come cheap these days.
Really must be hard up for fundraisers. Jerry Jones is not exactly Mr. Popular with anyone.
