He lives there. On the beach. Yeah, probably bad optics, but also maybe a good way to get folks focused on the issue and break the logjam. Looks like a pissing contest between he and Prieto. Christie and Sweeny had already agreed on a budget. |

From the RWEC: When Hernando Cortez landed on the beach at Veracruz, he burned his ships to ensure that his men had no option but to follow him. When Chris Christie landed on Island Beach Saturday in New Jersey, he only set fire to the remains of his political career. The New Jersey Star-Ledger got aerial photos of Christie and his family enjoying the pleasure of the public beach — which Christie had ordered closed for everyone else in the middle of a budget battle with the state legislature. It’s good to be king … er, governor: But there was one family there: Christie’s. They are using the summer beach house provided by the state for a weekend down the Shore. Remember when people considered Chris Christie an up-and-comer in national Republican politics? Heck, remember when the New Jersey governor still had political ambitions? This looks like Christie’s studying up for retirement. And it only got worse. From this suddenly private beach, Christie went by helicopter to the capital in Trenton to continue his hardball play on the shutdown. Reporters there had apparently been tipped off to Christie’s recreational activities — but Christie didn’t know that at first: Come on, man. In the first tweet, Christie can be seen sitting in shorts and a t-shirt looking up at the sun. He didn’t just stroll down to the beach for a quick chat. He’s enjoying the use of the beach, which is a lot more than the rest of his constituents can say. His defense is that the house (shown in the second tweet) belongs to the state, and is specifically for the governor’s enjoyment. State police provide security, and they are unaffected by the showdown. When asked if it was fair that his family got to use the facility while he shut down beaches around the state for everyone else, Christie suggested that critics try running for governor: Well, that’s certainly one way to look at it. A politician who cared about whether voters would ever elect him to another office would probably have asked his family to choose another recreational activity after ordering the shutdown of beaches for everyone else. Christie does not appear to care whether anyone wants to vote for him at all, as Chris Cillizza notes this morning, and it may be because Christie’s aiming to win an appointment with someone who appreciates chutzpah:
It’s good to be the king. And when you can’t be king any longer, it ain’t bad to be the footman of the king. |

HOLY CARP!!!

One of our oddest quirks is that when we can do whatever we want to do, we sometimes choose to remove most of our clothes and lie down on sand, under the hot sun. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |
