ICYMI: 'Sir, with all due respect, you need to get a life'
State Sen. Diane Allen (R., Burlington) was backstage Thursday afternoon with Gov. Christie as he made his way into the gymnasium of the Mount Laurel YMCA for the 96th town hall of his term. "She saw the dazed look in my eyes. She goes, 'Governor, it's Thursday, and you're in New Jersey,' " Christie recounted in his opening remarks on stage. The Republican governor had just returned to the business of gritty New Jersey politics after a two-day swing through Ohio for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and six weeks of on-again, off-again campaigning for U.S. Senate and gubernatorial candidates in eight other states. Before he got down to the task of making fun of Democrats and Supreme Court justices, he told the crowd of more than 600 people about his travels. "Being on the bus in Ohio for two days with Mitt Romney convinced more and more I made the right decision not running for president," Christie said. "It's crazy out there! It's just absolutely crazy." He expressed aw-shucks surprise at how Republicans around the country knew about the issues he pushes back home. In Fargo, N.D., a man asked Christie to fly him to New Jersey for a town-hall meeting. "I said, 'Sir, with all due respect, you need to get a life,' " the governor said.

In Case You Missed It, Gov. Christie stopped in Mount Laurel this week for an entertaining town hall. He told of campaigning with Mitt Romney in Ohio and he blasted New Jersey's affordable housing law. Meanwhile, Democrats called him out for lying. Here's my story:

I don't get it.
It's Matt Katz. You're not supposed to "get it."— fredfromjersey- This guy looks like that creepy Peewee Herman.— ejp-bjje
- Dude should have known he'd get no free ride for a town hall meeting. He should have asked to be be flown to Orca's kid's baseball game. Dude would be in the helicopter before he finished the sentence.— CiceroSpuriousDeodatusTheSecond
- Mr. Katz, with all due respect... arin't you Jewish?
Where is your love for your homeland... namely Israel?
Why are you supporting a bozo like Obama, who has continuously insulted Israel's prime minister.
With all due respect, sir, when was the last time YOU went to the Wailing Wall?
Mr. Christie has more respect for YOUR culture than you do.
Respectfully a jew.— FocusTruthFully - Matt, you only like liberal democrats. the USA is divided since Obama is so divisive and his policies and debt have hurt the USA for years to come.the liberal do not pay the taxes to support the liberal policies— hannigan
