Interview with the guy who was told by Chris Christie to "Shut up and sit down". Video

A very angry well-spoken man.

From Daily Kos:

Chris Christie blows his top after angry constituent confronts him at press conference

WNYC caught up with protestor Jim Keady to get his side of the story and Keady gave a fantastic interview explaining exactly why he is so upset with Gov. Christie's inaction:

"There are thousands of families who are sitting, waiting to get in their homes. He's been out of the state 100 days of this term. What if he took 50 of those days and sat in the DCA office (Department of Community Affairs) and got the guy, Chuck to do his job and got these guys back in their homes."

The guy makes a valid point. Gov. Chris Christie is all too happy to show up and show off for the cameras, but when it comes to taking any kind of criticism, he proves time and time again that he's as thin-skinned as they come. As he sets his sites on a 2016 presidential run, his bullying tactics will no-doubt be attractive to some. The same way George W. Bush's cocky, cowboy boot-wearing, straight-talkin' persona helped him in 2000. But, there's just no way this bully survives the stress and spotlight of a presidential run without have a serious meltdown in front of the cameras. Christie's rash, immature, aggressive tactics have no business being anywhere near the oval office.

Instead we watched and listened to Christie in his blustering bully tough guy act while the protester holds up a sign. The grinning crowd including Christie's wife adds to Christie's thuggish demeanor. Amazing anyone would even grin in reporting the Assclown Governor of New Jersey.
