Chris Christie's $400 Haircut

by: JimC

Wed Jun 01, 2011 at 12:02:35 PM EDT
Right before the lineup cards were being exchanged on the field, a noise from above distracted the spectators as the 55-foot long helicopter buzzed over trees in left field, circled the outfield and landed in an adjacent football field. Christie disembarked from the helicopter and got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field.

During the 5th inning, Christie and First Lady Mary Pat Christie got into the car, rode back to the helicopter and left the game. During a pitching change, play was stopped for a couple of minutes while the helicopter took off.

The game was being held at St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale in Bergen County. Christie watched the game from the stands, flanked by State Police security guards.

As a reminder, former Mass. Governor Jane Swift got in big trouble (political trouble anyway) for using a helicopter to go home and babysit her infant twins.

Say goodbye to your VP slot, Gov. Christie, if the press pays attention to this.

to even imagine how big his ego must be.  I see a huge balloon, some sort of putrid color, expanding over NJ, filling the sky.  Everyone knows at some point it will burst.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) arrived at his son's baseball game yesterday aboard a $12.5 million state police helicopter and then "got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field," the Newark Star Ledger reports. http://www.nj.com/news/index.s...

Honestly, does Gov. Christie think he's the only working parent with family scheduling conflicts? -- Eric Boehlert, via Twitter
