In Defense Of Chris Christie

I hate to go all Harold Ford, Jr. and argue for Republicans but I am going to make my first post of 2011 a curveball of sorts and do just that.

Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) has been taking all kinds of heat for being on vacation during the recent blizzard (Snow-Pocalypse 2010). Even the recently very non-partisan Jon Stewart commenced 2011 by taking a little shot at Governor Christie:
We wouldn't just blow out of town right when important sh!t was going down... we're not the Governor of New Jersey!

All I know is if we had a storm in Michigan and everyone has taking shots at Governor Jennifer Granholm - I absolutely would've defended her. Ever heard of a phone?!?! I might've been inclined to quip. So, unless Gov. Christie was the only one with the keys to the garage where they keep the snow plows, I would more inclined to say Governor Christie is gone? Good! Perhaps we should turn out the lights and pretend we all left so maybe he won't come back?

I mean, seriously, he is the governor dealing with a blizzard. Blizzards happen every year! There has to be a plan in place to deal with this situation and I am fairly certain it doesn't involve the governor single-handedly plowing the roads of Newark or Trenton or Hoboken or Teaneck. In fact, I'm willing to bet that Chris Christie would not even shovel his own friggin' driveway! Now Jennifer Granholm... of course, she does!
