All of that after a holiday weekend. Who knew that the wind could bring that much crazy into the state on a weekend?

1. Would you like to hear something really crazy that came out of Iowa recently?

There are apparently some Iowans who actually want this idiot to run for president:

Gov. Christie to meet with Iowa GOP donors who want him to run for president

By The Associated Press

PRINCETON TOWNSHIP — Gov. Chris Christie is planning to meet with top Iowa Republican campaign contributors who want him to run for president.

Christie is set to meet today with energy company executive Bruce Rastetter and a half-dozen other prominent Iowa GOP donors at the governor's mansion in Princeton.

Christie maintains he's not running in 2012. The Iowans want to change his mind because they're unhappy with President Barack Obama

And Christie is suitably whining about not running while traveling the nation at New Jersey taxpayer expense and repeatedly meeting anywhere with anyone who will hint they might ask him to run.

2. That's what I said.

But the Teabaggers want them a fundamentalist half-governor.

[Skidmore]

5. How the heck did you all elect that vicious slob?

6. Some people did not vote

Others believed Christie's LIES like some of the teachers who believed the the lies in Christie's open letter to the teachers of New Jersey promising not to harm their pensions and to support the education system, or some of the seniors who Christie promised he wouldn't end their property tax relief, or some of the people who Christie promised he'd lower property taxes.

Ask the teachers who are being villainized while Christie pumps public money into his connected charter school friends' pockets, the seniors whose property taxes took an effective 25% increase when Christie ended property tax relief, or the rest of New Jersey that saw a record over 7% property tax increase state-wide.

Christie's record of mistakes, gaffes, corruption and failures during his first sixteen months in office should end any attempt at his holding any public office ever again. The man is a fucking wrecking crew, corrupt, incompetent and arrogant, losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding through outright idiocy, he is simply transferring wealth upward to his millionaire accomplices, bankrolling the completion of Revel Casino when Atlantic City is in steep decline, bankrolling that monument to idiocy in the Meadowlands, Xanadu, giving millionaires a tax break while telling all the dumbasses who elected him "We're broke!"

I don't know what else to say. I know our state newspapers carry multiple stories on this pitiful excuse for a governor every day and most of them are flattering. Frankly, considering the current state of the American people and the people of New Jersey I wouldn't be surprised if he was re-elected governor or president.

Besides, voting in American has been reduced to an act of validating their fraud.

3. “I’m not ready,” Christie responded. “I’m not.”

Appearing on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” on Tuesday, Christie was told by one of the hosts that “I have to believe you feel that if you ran for president, you could probably do some good.”

4. I could make a really obscene, inflammatory and insulting sexual comment about that line

But I won't because I've matured over the past fifteen seconds.

7. Bachmann and Santorum will be co-Presidents...

...since that's what Gawd wants.

8. Yes, they could appoint Palin

Secretary of State.

9. They already asked her if she was interested. She replied "which one?"

10. I believe it. nt
