N.J. Gov. Chris Christie Responds to Female Hecklers With Offensive Oral Sex Joke
On Sunday, Jan. 8., New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was speaking at a Romney for President rally in New Hampshire when he was interrupted by some female hecklers. Its difficult to make out exactly what Christies critics were yelling, but its something to do with jobs going down. Ever the class act, Christies response: You know, something may be going down tonight, but it aint going to be jobs, sweetheart.

(2,645 posts)wanted this piece of human waste to run for President? He's always been a complete and utter asswipe in his response to criticism or questioning.

(53,410 posts)He gets personally offended when women even ask a question of him that may put him on the defensive. This isn't the first time he's made totally inappropriate comments to women.

they are grooming him to continue the trend of Nixon, Reagan, and GW Bush, to pioneer new lows of presiding.

Doing a James O'Keefe on him isn't the way to nail this guy. He's bad enough as it is.
Oh and he's full of shit about the jobs...

(108,959 posts)The expression, "something's going down" has been around for many decades and means "something's happening" or "something's going to happen."
He did not say, "someone" is going down.
For example, here the phrased is used in an article about cliques at school.

"These are the know-alls of the school. If somethings going down, theyre the first to know about it. They have the low-down on everyone and everything."

(135,425 posts)My mind travelled to something like a drug deal going down....but then, the sweetheart reference made it a bit ambiguous.

Edit to clarify: women's voices often are perceived as less threatening, and women are often perceived as less threatening. When I get a "tone" you can tell sarcasm in the "sweetheart", but most girls are going to take it neutrally and most guys seem to take my "sweetie" as a positive thing instead of a negative. And I'm also a Southern chick... our accents make it really easy to cuss someone out without them even noticing.

(108,959 posts)But, IMHO,that doesn't change the rest of the comment to referring to oral sex.
ProudToBeBlueInRhody
(16,399 posts)Sure, "Something's goin' down" is a common phrase, but it just refers to a action or event.
"Jobs" in this sense, is used as a noun......his use of "Something's going down" would imply that another noun to replace it is going down.

(108,959 posts)But I honestly don't think he was implying anything particularly sexual -- he just meant a plain, ordinary insult. That's bad enough.

(36,424 posts)As for the other comment, I didn't know how to take it.
My bigger gripe is that he & Romney thought it was ok to joke about an issue that the majority of their constitutents are concerned about. That is what should be reported & is not.

(26,219 posts)this does define our humor (and yes, I find it funny), but this is also why someone from New Jersey will never be President. From either party.

(80,708 posts)It's sort of like the mechanic telling you: "Sorry, man, your engine block is cracked" and going "yeah, that's what she said!"
...see? it doesn't make any fucking sense.
Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Yeah, I agree totally.
His use of that phrase was so out of context that it wasn't even funny.
But knowing Christie, he was referring to oral sex.

(7,480 posts)Christie may be annoying as all hell, but saying he was implying anything sexual is the sort of idiocy we should rise above. It's very clear that he meant it just the way he said it. If you interpret it otherwise you're either intellectually dishonest or an idiot.
And from one of my favorite posters no less.... kpete. Well, even you can't win 'em all.
