Christie Lands In Bergen County In State Police Helicopter For Son's Baseball Game

I think that there are questions that need to be asked in light of this revelation. There are just a few questions we should be asking. Maybe there are one or two absolutely necessary questions that need to be asked here. OK, there is really only one question that we are all entitled to know the answer to....Where did New Jersey find a helicopter that could actually lift Governor Christie into the air?


Christie Lands In Bergen County In State Police Helicopter For Son's Baseball Game

Governor Christie landed in Bergen County in a state police helicopter late Tuesday afternoon to attend his son's baseball game against St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale.

Christie arrived shortly before 4 p.m. to watch his son Andrew play baseball for Delbarton School. He was driven from the helicopter about 100 yards to the field in a black car with tinted windows.

Responding to a question from Patch about the use of the helicopter to attend the game, Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said, "It is a means of transportation that is occasionally used as the schedule demands. This has historically been the case in prior administrations as well, and we continue to be judicious in limiting its use."

NJ.com reported that the helicopter landed just before lineup cards were exchanged and that Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, left the game in the 5th inning.

The site also reported that the governor had no public events on his schedule, so it was unclear where he had traveled from. The website reported that Christie had a private meeting Tuesday night at the governor's mansion with a group of Iowa donors who are trying to persuade him to run for president.

The helicopter is one of five new choppers purchased by the state police, costs $12.5 million and can fly at 200 miles per hour, according to the NJ.com report.

 

You should be ashamed of yourself, Moen. Making fun of the ectomorphically challenged.

 

Yeah but think of all the hungry kids! The kids! The ki-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ds!

 

If he wanted to ride in a helicopter, perhaps he should have used the Democratic New Jersey Governor plan. Drive 90mph, crash, and take a helicopter ride to the hospital to save his life, all at the expense of NJ taxpayers (including myself).

 

I could excuse his use of the helicopter if it was also used as a training exercise like they said... but then again, trainees flying near kids? Nah, just one of the perks to being an overweight, can't walk 300 feet, governor.

 

He cares about jobs. He is personally keeping pizza shops open all around the state.

 

Q: Name three things Governor Christie takes to a ballgame.
A: A helicopter, a golf cart, and a limo.

 

Darn, I was sure it was pizza, hotdogs and twinkies. Lots and lots of twinkies.
