Chris Christie to Warren Buffett: Just 'shut up'

[ashling]

"He should just write a check and shut up," Christie said. "I'm tired of hearing about it. If he wants to give the government more money, he's got the ability to write a check -- go ahead and write it."

1. Like Buffett gives a flying f*ck what you think Gov. Tub O'Shit!

My, these ugly repubs are getting SO mad!

Don't throw yourselves into a coma, guys...

[Ganja Ninja]

2. Skip desert Chris. n/t

[malaise]

3. STFU Wall Street Fat Cat Christie

[quinnox]

4. what a POS

so because Buffett is off the reservation and not a always greedy rich pig like most of those who support the Repub party, Christie doesn't want to hear about it. It destroys their narrative that the rich shouldn't pay more in taxes since Buffett is such a high profile super wealthy dude.

Typical republican, not worth a bucket of spit.

5. Dear Governor Christie:

You ARE the government, asshole. Now STFU.

[HopeHoops]

6. Buffet to Christie - "After you, asshole."

7. spanone to chris christie 'shut the fuck up'

[JBoy]

8. Christie would need a helicopter and a limo to cash it.

[Ikonoklast]

10. Hey, that's not fair!

Christie's bank must be at least TWO BLOCKS AWAY!!!!

Do you want the man to faint from hunger walking that stupendous distance????


Then the taxpayers would have to rent a crane to pick his lard ass up off the sidewalk, incurring huge expenses!!!!!


See, the helicopter and limo rides doorstep-to-doorstep actually SAVES MONEY FOR NEW JERSEY!!!!


What are you, some kind of fiscally irresponsible liberal????

9. And there you have it, folks. The Republican version of free speech.

I'm free to shut you up.

[Bake]

14. THey think the only people who have free speech are the ones who agree with them.

It's so much easier that way.

17. "Free Speech Isn't Free"

[Dawson Leery]

19. Bush said it would be easier to govern if this were a dictatorship.

[ProSense]

11. This is

the asshole who declared the state broke, and then proceeded to give a tax cut to the rich

Is he kidding? Gov. Chris Christie wants more tax cuts for the rich

12. This is a tired old GOP tactic

which completely misses the point of someone saying the rich should pay their share of taxes.

[CAPHAVOC]

13. 50% tax

Is what he should pay. With no deducts.

[EC]

15. So Christy believes the

U.S. isn't a great country that deserves to be funded and run like a great country, but in fact should be run like a charity?

[frylock]

16. buffet can buy and sell shitbags like christie..

that being said, christie should take his own advice and shut his grocery hole.

[Justice wanted]

18. If this guy isn't running for President how does he keep getting a national mic UNLESS he is

going to be part of some sort of convention surprise.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

20. New Jersey never should have voted this overheated lump of mincemeat

masquerading as a human being in as Governor. He really is a waste of time and space. I hope his political career deflates rapidly next year and we never have to see his ugly, obnoxious mug in the public sphere ever again

[JNelson6563]

21. Seems to that if anyone needs to close their mouth

it's Christie. He needs to stop putting so much food down the pie hole and spewing toxins out of the pie hole.

22. How dare this white trash, POS, pig

talk that way to someone of Warren Buffet's caliber. I will be so glad when this wave of white trash gets voted out (btw, I do not equate white trash with income, I think George W is white trash).

[Aviation Pro]

23. Buffet to Christie...

...put down that cheesecake, tubby, and eat a salad.

24. the "write a check" argument is just stupid

Sadly, it was brought up on DU by a troll. I spent about twenty minutes composing the perfect response to it, definitively debunking that spurious argument for all time.

And the thread was locked before I posted, erasing my work in the process.

So now I am stuck with just pointing out that the "write a check" argument is stupid.
