It’s fair to say that New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie is known for his big… uh, erm… personality. This is, after all, the same politician who asked a reporter on Saturday if he was “stupid” and then went on to call that same reporter an “idiot.”
Gov. Christie‘s latest hot-headed moment happened in the same place where Snooki and The Situation often get into altercations (I only know this because my girlfriend likes “The Jersey Shore”). Christie apparently got into a shouting match with a man on a Jersey shore boardwalk over education policy. TMZ has the video which you can watch above.
Perhaps the governor is just upset because he’s no longer thought to be Romney’s VP shortlist. RealClearPolitics reported yesterday that the list is thought to be down to these four men: Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. But you may remember Lawrence scratched Christie off the Romney VP shortlist last month. Maybe in 2016, Governor… but for now you may have to fuhgettaboutit.
