1. don't forget that he was a Morris county freeholder...

who reputedly alienated everyone else on the board of freeholders.

But he did procure a nifty contract for his former boss, John Ashcroft--

In the fall of 2007, Christie awarded the Ashcroft Group LLC, a lobbying and consulting firm formed and headed by John Ashcroft, with a no-bid government contract monitoring Zimmer Holdings. Zimmer, which makes artificial hip and knee replacements, was one of five companies to reach either deferred prosecution or non-prosecution agreements with the Department of Justice. DOJ had been investigating claims that the companies paid doctors to promote and use their products. Zimmer reportedly paid Ashcroft’s firm between $28 million and more than $52 million for 18 months' work.

3. The only thing that man is qualified for is competitive eating. I would say Sumo wrestling, but

that requires athleticism.
