Furious Chris Christie refuses to Pick Up Trump's Dry Cleaning as told by Andy Borowitz

[Mira]

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald Trump’s dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on Friday, campaign sources confirm.

The ugly scene unfolded at the billionaire’s offices in midtown Manhattan, shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.

According to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican nominee’s office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling Trump, “You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.”

The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.

Trump’s press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie. “In the long hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw,” she said. “We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trump’s dry cleaning going forward.”

Reached later by reporters, Governor Christie issued a brief statement: “Get away from me. Just get away from me, you bastards.”

2. I know it is satire by Borowitz

But Trump/Christie would never have worked. 2 bullies would never get along long enough to be running mates.

5. Christie should have seen this coming?

6. Christie will relent--he now wants a shot at Attorney General

20. Nope, not with the announcements of a plea deal from his mentor

plus the indictment of one of his commissioners. You think the timing of all this is an accident?

Besides, if Trump really did have Christie penciled in for a Cabinet or major administration post, he never would have been on VP list to begin with. Especially if it's true that Newt Gingrich -- Newt Gingrich! -- was the other runner up!

Literally, the easiest possible joke to make under the circumstances.

10. A Not So Funny Summation....

of Mr. Christie, but a cold and honest look at just who this creep really is:

In the end, Chris Christie proved to be exactly what he was–a nobody. A nobody who lost a local Morris County election but who had a brother who could buy him a job he didn’t deserve and had no right to fill, the federal prosecutor’s position in New Jersey.

With his media friends, he built a false image of himself as a corruption fighter–even when he exploited his authority for his own corrupt political ends: Going after Democrats and Republicans who stood in his way, concocting entrapment schemes, leaking toxic information to hurt potential rivals.

The last and worst was his manipulation of the sicko Solomon Dwek to put the final nail in former Gov. Jon Corzine’s political coffin. Yes, that occurred after he resigned–but we all know Christie left behind loyalists who timed the “Bid Rig” investigation to come out just before the 2009 gubernatorial election.

Corruption fighter? What a joke. Believe that one and there is a bridge over the Hudson I could sell you–complete with red traffic cones ready for a new traffic study. Now he will come home to New Jersey, a wounded beast thirsting for retribution, undoubtedly hoping a Republican will capture the White House and he can obtain yet another unmerited political job.

11. Guv Soprano got taken to the Dry Cleaners. He went there to pick up his tee shirt

that was emblazoned with " I supported Drump and all I got was humiliated."

12. Christie soon returned, though, with Trump's McDonald's order

"I licked one of the Chicken McNuggets," chortled the governor as he dropped off the sack lunch.

16. Even worse

Is what he did to Trump's order of Krispy Kreme donuts.
