New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) would rather drown himself in the Potomac River than join the ranks of the U.S. Senate.
“I would rather die than be in the United States Senate,” Christie said Saturday during a speech to the New Jersey state NAACP. “Okay? I would be bored to death. Could you imagine me banging around that chamber with 99 other people, asking for a motion on the amendment in the subcommittee? Forget it.”
“It would be over, everybody,” he added. “You’d watch me just walk out and walk right into the Potomac River and drown. That would be it.”
His remarks on the Senate drew laughs from the audience.
Christie, who is mulling a 2016 presidential bid, said that his legacy in New Jersey would be defined by what he accomplishes by the end of his final term as governor — not by the next election.
“Believe me, by the way, when I say ‘I’m never running for public office in New Jersey again,'” Christie said. “I mean I’ll never run for public office in New Jersey again.”
Really ?
“His remarks on the Senate drew laughs from the audience.”
“But Deborah Gregory, president of the NAACP’s Newark chapter, was one of
a number of NAACP officials unhappy with the governor’s presence. The
Star-Ledger reports that Gregory stood outside the venue on Saturday
protesting Christie’s appearance. She told the paper that the governor
did not deserve to be invited.”
He seems a little too bouyant about not being too bouyant.
He gets to bathe in self-adoration while pretending to be self-aware. How could he not be buoyant?
“Now, being President? That’d be a different issue…”
Chris Christie for Senator!!
