Not sure if you all heard (especially all you Latvians) but New Jersey has quite an exciting governor. He decided to celebrate a huge snowstorm in New Jersey by taking his family to Disneyworld. Then, he came back and decided to fix New Jersey's budget crisis by just taking away from schools. After all, it's not like New Jersey is known for its excellent schools, so who would notice? A lot of teachers can no longer get jobs because of it? Well that's ok, they can just go take their teaching abilities and teach people about the different options on a McDonald's menu.
But then Christie does this. Now I'm not sure if he was sober when he chose to have a helicopter fly him to his son's baseball game, but even if he was on crystal meth this still would have been an unbelievable decision. The helicopter landed on a field adjacent to the baseball field, and Christie then had a car drive him 100 yards to the actual baseball field.
Now imagine what the teachers and other fans at the game must have thought. Oh here comes Mr. Christie, maybe he's here to talk to us about somehow helping us out and hiring a few more teachers. Maybe he's here to try and do the impossible; restore his image. Never mind the fact that he just got out of a helicopter that cost the taxpayers 12.5 million dollars. He's here to do good!
If the helicopter landing wasn't in itself a giant indirect finger to the educational community, then that came when he sat down on the bleachers and pulled a Krispy Kreme donut from his pocket. Here he was, surrounded by security and police officers, watching his son play baseball. Not to try and rectify the situation or perhaps attempt to salvage his reputation, but to watch his son play baseball. And he couldn't just drive here, God forbid. He didn't cut all that money from New Jersey schools to be driving around and facing traffic!
And if that wasn't enough, the Governor didn't even stay till the end of the game. During the 5th inning, the Governor and his wife stepped into the car and they were then driven to the helicopter, which was literally walking distance for any other human being on this planet. Apparently the Governor was not impressed by his son's performance, and he could not sit and watch any longer. It's quite a shock really, to imagine that his son did not inherit his father's athletic genes.
Man this is a lose lose situation for everyone involved. Rumor is that Governor Christie lost his 7 remaining supporters, all of whom decided to stop backing him after they heard the news during dinner at the Trenton Psychiatric hospital. New Jersey loses because it's budget, which already was fucked from the beginning, is forced to cover the costs of bringing police officers and a giant helicopter to a random high school in Montvale, New Jersey. Governor Christie's son loses because, well, he's Governor Christie's son. But then again, I guess he was always kinda screwed, so that didn't really change.
But yeah, Governor Christie truly makes some brilliant decisions. Next time all the annoying teachers come to Trenton to protest, he should pull a Floyd Mayweather Jr. and pull up in a Rolls Royce Phantom and just start throwing 20's at them. I mean, can his reputation really suffer any more?
