It’s always heart warming when 2 past malakas of the week get into a public spat. Imbecile Senator and5/10/13 honoree James Inhofehas gone afterlast week’s prince of malakatude, Chris Christie.Dim Jim blames Christieand his fleece jacket for Willard Mittbot Romney’s defeat last year. It’s, of course, utter nonsense but it’s a widely shared view on the right. Romney lost because he didn’t have a pulse and the nation wasn’t ready for its first robot President.
Thus far Christie hasn’t fired back but that surely cannot last. Governor Pufferfish *lives* for confrontation and drama. It’s one reason I kept expecting him to show up onThe Real Housewives of New Jersey to hang out with Juicy Joe and his wacky family. That dream, alas, ended when Joe and Tree were indicted for being reality soap bozos among other things. Enough low brow nonsense.
The MSM Christie craze reminds me of the Rudy craze, the brief Herman Cain craze, and the pet rock craze. They’re called crazes because they’re crazy, after all. One reason Governor Kramden is so successful at home is that he’s Jersey writ large. I’m not sure how well that bombastic, loud personality will export. Loud jerks from Jersey tend to be an acquired taste in my experience.
Anyway, I’d like to thank Senator Inhofe for playing true to form and saying something stupid. I eagerly await Christie’s response. It’s gotta be better than readingNoam Scheiber’s wildly speculative piece about the fantasy camp 2016 Presidential candidacy of Elizabeth Warren. (Note: I like Senator Warren but expect she’ll continue to be one of themost effective frosh Senatorsin history.) Dave Weigel’s takedown of Scheiber’s piece is amust read classic, so go read it already.
That is all.
