Chris Christie Urges Reporters To 'Take The Bat' To 76-Year-Old Widow
By David April 14, 2011 8:00 am

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) begged reporters Wednesday to "take the bat" to a 76-year-old lawmaker for collecting a pension and a paycheck.

Democratic state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, a widow, said she was forced to begin collecting her pension after her financial advisor invested all her savings in Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme.

"After a major financial setback resulting from my so-called 'Financial Advisor' investing all my money (including my IRA) with a man I never heard of (read: Bernie Madoff) a colleague suggested that I would most likely qualify for my pension," Weinberg wrote in a blog post.

"Though I never went in to public service to make money, I am grateful for this income at this time of my life, because of the situation Bernie Madoff created for me," she said.

Christie: “Take the bat out on” female legislator


It looks like Chris Christie’s persistent bully act may finally have gotten him in some real trouble.

In a news conference about pension policy Thursday, the New Jersey governor demanded the press go after one of his Democratic critics, state Sen. Loretta Weinberg. Or, as Christie put it: “Can you guys please take the bat out on her for once?”

In a statement, Weinberg, 76, expressed her displeasure:

''Considering I’ve devoted my entire legislative career to fighting for the rights of women, including battered women, I think his words continue to show the level of insensitivity and poor judgment that the governor has demonstrated on women’s issues since getting elected.

8. Thanks for posting this additional info

I think Maddow was on to something last night, and I suspect a whole lot more info is going to come out which shows a vendetta that Christie held against Weinberg.
