Almost Famous

On Tuesday NJ101.5 reporter David Matthau asked Chris Christie about the interview he did with me wherein he declared that he is not a Christie Whitman Republican and that NJ Republicans had been "miserable failures" when we controlled Trenton.

Neither Matthau or Christie mentioned me or MMM by name. " A video blog interview with the Jersey GOP Gubernatorial frontrunner has turned up on YouTube - that's rustling some republican feathers," was the extent of the credit.

Oh well, I'm still not as famous a Tommy DeSeno.

Unfortunately, Christie backed off his comments a bit:

When asked about the comments, Christie said "all I was saying was I'm my own person - I'm not a Christie Whitman republican, I'm not a Tom Kean republican - and that's all I meant by the comment - it certainly was not meant to be critical of Governor Whitman…in my campaign, I'm taking a different kind of approach - (in the interview) what I was trying to imply was the establishment was following me- not the other way around - I've made it very clear where I stand on certain issues, and that I'm going to continue to be that way."

"Miserable failure" is pretty critical. It is also accurate.

Christie says he's is own man. That he's not a product of the establishment. He says the establishment is coming over to his ideas to fix New Jersey, not the other way around. I hope that is true. If it is, he should stop equivocating and keep ruffling feathers on both sides of the isle.

You just aren't the media whore that I am.

I'm famous in one humble home, and I'm quickly losing ground there.
