NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald Trumps dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on Friday, campaign sources confirm.
The ugly scene unfolded at the billionaires offices in midtown Manhattan, shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.
According to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican nominees office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling Trump, You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.
The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.
Trumps press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie. In the long hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw, she said. We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trumps dry cleaning going forward.
Reached later by reporters, Governor Christie issued a brief statement: Get away from me. Just get away from me, you bastards.

Besides, if Trump really did have Christie penciled in for a Cabinet or major administration post, he never would have been on VP list to begin with. Especially if it's true that Newt Gingrich -- Newt Gingrich! -- was the other runner up!

(2,419 posts)of Mr. Christie, but a cold and honest look at just who this creep really is:
With his media friends, he built a false image of himself as a corruption fightereven when he exploited his authority for his own corrupt political ends: Going after Democrats and Republicans who stood in his way, concocting entrapment schemes, leaking toxic information to hurt potential rivals.
The last and worst was his manipulation of the sicko Solomon Dwek to put the final nail in former Gov. Jon Corzines political coffin. Yes, that occurred after he resignedbut we all know Christie left behind loyalists who timed the Bid Rig investigation to come out just before the 2009 gubernatorial election.
Corruption fighter? What a joke. Believe that one and there is a bridge over the Hudson I could sell youcomplete with red traffic cones ready for a new traffic study. Now he will come home to New Jersey, a wounded beast thirsting for retribution, undoubtedly hoping a Republican will capture the White House and he can obtain yet another unmerited political job.
