You know there’s buzz about you when you can deliver an eloquent, and captivating, political speech, deny you have any presidential ambitions during said speech, and the only thing anyone wants to write about afterwords is the subsequent non-existent presidential buzz. That’s exactly what happened to GOP New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today. In a speech in Washington, D.C. sponsored by the American… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 16/02/2011 23:08 Number of articles : 2

An increasing number of governors are joining New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s anti-worker chorus.Too bad they’re all off-key. Wall Street’s recklessness, not public employee pensions, caused our nation’s financial collapse. Scapegoating workers won’t solve anything. We so desperately want easy explanations for complicated problems. We want someone to blame. So when Governor Christie began pointing… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Indypendent Discovery Date : 09/02/2011 21:05 Number of articles : 2

Schultz Sorry About Christie Cracks? Says OK To Call Him ‘Fat Slob,’ Too

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Schultz Sorry About Christie Cracks? Says OK To Call Him ‘Fat Slob,’ Too

Ed Schultz: secret NewsBusters fan? You have to wonder.  This column has twice— here and here —taken the un-svelte Schultz to task for his hypocrisy in making repeated fat jokes at the expense of Chris Christie, culminating in calling the NJ guv a “fat slob.”  On his MSNBC show this evening, an apparently contrite Ed admitted that he too was fat and would understand if others also considered him a “fat slob.” I began to suspect something was afoot early in the show. On the one hand, Schultz launched into yet another long diatribe against Christie.  After taking numerous solo shots at the NJ guv, Schultz brought in a NJ teacher of the year, who was happy to be described as “strongly against Gov. Christie.” The pair proceeded to rake Christie over the coals, paying scant attention to the brutal budgetary problems facing the Garden State that have forced Christie to make reforms. But—in stark contrast with previous shows—the fat jokes had demonstrably disappeared.  And sure enough, in the tease for a subsequent segment, Schultz said “I admit that I’m fat.”  Then came this show-closer . .  . ED SCHULTZ: Before I say “that’s the Ed Show, I’m Ed Schultz” I want to say this: there was a time in my life when I was 263 pounds but I’ve really worked at it and I’m down now to 247. But I want all of you to know that I’m not only fat, I have red hair. And growing up they really picked on red heads where I came from, and I’m not offended by any of you who think I’m a fat slob.

It’s easy to interpret Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ‘s $100 million donation to Newark schools—officially announced the exact day The Social Network opens the New York Film Festival—as a PR move to counter the film’s negative portrayal of him. More

Maddow Mocks Gov. Christie’s Math Skills Before Making Same Subtraction Error

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rachel Maddow on Wednesday mocked the math skills of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie only seconds before she made the exact same arithmetic mistake she bashed him for. In a short segment about the state of New Jersey losing some education funding as a result of errors made during the application process, the MSNBC host placed all the blame on the new Republican governor. To put a fine point on what Maddow claimed was Christie’s incompetence, she played a video of the Governor on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” earlier in the day misstating the number of points Ohio edged out New Jersey for this award. Hysterically, when the clip ended, Maddow made the very same subtraction error (video follows with transcript and commentary):  RACHEL MADDOW, HOST: Even while talking about the application process, Governor Christie has still been making some basic mistakes as evidenced by his appearance on this network this morning. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE, (R-NEW JERSEY): We came in eleventh, ten people won, and we lost by 2.2 points… UNKNOWN MALE: Next year. CHRISTIE: …to Ohio. UNKNOWN MALE: Next year. CHRISTIE: If there’s more money. I doubt there will be. (END VIDEOTAPE) MADDOW: 2.2? According to the Department of Education, Ohio got 440.8 points in the final phase, and New Jersey got 437.8 points which is not three points. It’s 2.2 points. I don’t know if there was a math section, but if there is, I bet that’s Obama’s fault, too. Nice job, Rach. You really are the smartest gal in the class. Maybe more hysterically, the story doesn’t end there, for someone must have noticed Maddow’s error and decided to re-film this final section for the video to be posted at MSNBC’s website and possibly the reruns. See if you notice a little difference: MADDOW: 2.2 points Governor Christie? According to the Department of Education, Ohio got 440.8 points in the final phase and New Jersey got 437.8 points which using math – using my powers of math comprehension that’s three points not 2.2. I wonder if there’s a math component to the test. If there is, I bet that’s Obama’s fault, too.   Makes you wonder how many takes they needed for Maddow to finally get it right.

Of All People: Schultz Slams Chris Christie With Fat Jokes

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

What’s next: Bill Clinton cutting an ad vexing David Vitter on the issue of fidelity? Of all people, Ed Schultz spent an entire segment this evening going after Chris Christie . . . about his girth. I counted no fewer than seven separate barbs that Schultz directed Christie’s way over his weight.  He began with a photo of the NJ Governor with the graphic “Battle of the Bulge.”   It got heavier from there. “This morning, Beckster [Glenn Beck] had some sizeable praise for the job-cutting governor.” “On his radio program, Laura Ingraham backed him up with this hefty endorsement .” ” Christie’s couch-potato lifestyle .” “Chris Christie is a guy who makes the middle-class, the poor and schoolkids pay for his fat-cat buddies to keep their living high on the hog lifestyle.” “To say he’d be a good president? That would be some pretty hefty Psycho Talk.” Schultz seems to have a penchant for throwing stones from deep within a glass house.  As I reported here yesterday, after Ed mocked Karl Rove for a brief stumble in giving the call-in number while guest-hosting for Rush Limbaugh, Schultz proceeded to butcher the pronunciation of a guest’s name.  Tonight, the significantly un-svelte Schultz taunts Chris Christie over his weight.  Why would Ed want to highlight his own hypocrisy?  When Christie’s opponent in the NJ gubernatorial race, then-incumbent governor Jon Corzine, ran an ad taunting Christie over his avoirdupois, it famously blew up in his face .  Is Ed sure he wants to go down the same losing road?
