Christie, who serves as an ABC contributor, shared his perspective on Todd during an appearance on a rare live edition of CBS's "Late Show" with host Stephen Colbert.
The program aired live just after Thursday night's Democratic debate from Miami.
"Please God, can we say goodbye to Chuck Todd? Christie asked.

(4,341 posts)It is what many people are thinking.
During the debates he tried to keep Maddow in the background...I laughed when he said "I need to take a commercial break right now"..."I need", as he is the one controlling the shots...

(58,634 posts)he's the Senior Political Correspondent, or some such pompous title.
That's why we can't get rid of him.

(25,183 posts)during the election, Christie was never working in the interests of the American people. Even after getting shot down for the VP nomination, he worked to install the Orange Menace, and unfortunately, was successful in his efforts.
Just because he says something nasty about UpChuck Todd doesn't make him any better of a person.
not fooled
(5,801 posts)and every time he shows up on the teevee bloviating, I want the host to ask him how it feels to be walking around free while his minions are doing time for carrying out political dirty tricks for his benefit.

(4,341 posts)Yes, please get rid of that moron. Every time I see Todd on anything I change the channel, and I had to put up with listening to him during the debates.

Chuck its not my job to fact-check my guests Todd.
Mr. I put one side on and let them say their piece and then I put the other side on and let them say their piece. And voila! Thats all it takes! Ive done my job!
To which I say Bull-fucking-shit!
Id END his run on Meet the Press. Smug schmuck has no business captaining that show. Not even the weekday version. Every day hes on there as host, he proves yet again that he doesnt deserve it. Soooooooo many alternatives! Rachel Maddow comes to mind. So does Katy Tur. I might even try to steal Jake Tapper.

(16,858 posts)Chuck Todd comes across like the pseudo-intellectual, pretentious asshole we all know or have experienced in our lives who presents themselves as an expert on a topic with absolutely nothing to back up their claims and who, despite their ego, they inevitably show how ignorant they truly are. That's Chuck Todd.
Plus, it doesn't help that the moron chooses, repeatedly to pander to all GOP guests and manage them with kids gloves.

he dumps down the end of his sentences on meet the press -- even with the tv sound turned WAY up i still can't hear the last two or three words he says.
i think he's such a jerk
FakeNoose
(32,620 posts)It's a terrible speaking technique, for someone who's supposedly in the information industry you'd think he would realize this. I have to turn on closed captions when he's speaking.
