Christie melt-down at press conference: attacks PolitickerNJ.com over pay-to-play accusations

Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine and former State Senator Dick LaRossa got their fifteen minutes of fame today when Chris Christie went after them at a press conference over their allegations concerning the use (or misuse) of deferred prosecution agreements and pay-to-play donations to the Christie campaign from the recipients of those contracts.

Christie saved his biggest salvo for the PolitickerNJ.com website, accusing them of bias for their alleged negative coverage of his campaign.  According to Christie, "Those people who are on the Kushner-owned web site, I've never been on their holiday card. Ever since I sent Kushner to jail, my coverage on PolitickerNJ.com has not been sterling."

When Christie loses in November, maybe they'll send him a sympathy card.

Takeaway on Christie's Jerry Maguire Moment (4.00 / 1)
Anyone who listens to Christie in his interviews knows he has incredibly thin skin -- no doubt due to his little experience as someone who has to work with people outside of a courtroom.

BUT, the bigger takeaway from Christie flipping out on Mulshine and PolitickerNJ is that this is a taste of what's to come. "You oppose me? Then you'd prefer that Sharpe James was still running Newark!" So on and so forth. He's already tried it with Senator Weinberg in Bergen County, calling her a caddy for pay-to-players (think what you want about Senator Weinberg, but there's no sunlight between her and absolute pay-to-play reform).


Skin Not even thin (0.00 / 0)
Wow. This guy wants to be in politics? It looks like you can set him off with no trouble at all.

It will be fun to see those rants and raves on 30 second commercials.
