So did you hear the one about the governor who was late for a baseball game. . . .

So Governor Christie, the great savior of New Jersey, the man who will remove waste from the state budget, eliminate all those cushy public service jobs and then presumably walk on water, had a baseball game to get to. His son's game. A high school game.

So how does he get there? Why, by helicopter, of course. A 55 foot, $12.5 million helicopter designed for homeland security purposes. This is what the great fiscal savior does in his spare time.

And, once he gets there, does he walk the 300 feet from the helicopter to the baseball field? Oh no, he gets driven there in his black car with dark tinted windows. Explain this obesity epidemic again??

Yes, this is the $175,000 man. The man who is upset because school superintendents make more money than he does. Only they don't get the choppers, the cars, the mansion.

Once again, do as I say, and not as I do. Isn't that right, Mr. Christie?

Can't wait to hear him explain this one away.
