Is Time Running Out For Chris Christie’s Political Career?

After being demoted to the “kids’ table” debate schedule this past week, Chris Christie’s 2016 campaign may be nearing its end. But after all of this, is it possible that his political career is done for?

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.

over this one courtesy Mad Magazine. Glad you got it.

Andrew Wyeth and his realist paintings are closely associated with his home region, Chadds Ford and the Brandywine Valley, PA. 'Christina's World' (1948) is modeled on a neighbor in Maine where he summered. It's an icon of mid-20th century art on display for decades at MoMA in New York.
I think the pugnacious, conservative governor must enjoy the imitation of such a popular American painting.

... could not walk. I always loved Wyeth's work, but my own attempts to work in his preferred medium, egg tempera, were frustrating in the extreme, so I stick to watercolor, and occasionally, oils. Acrylic colors are too saturated for my taste, though I do use them from time to time. He would have been 98 this year.

His son, Jamie, is pretty darned good, too!
