Mayor of Hoboken Says Hurricane Relief Was Threatened
Source: New York Times
ORLANDO, Fla. — A swing through Florida proved no sunny retreat for Gov. Chris Christie on Saturday, as well-organized protesters hounded him outside a Republican fund-raiser here, a powerful ally in the New Jersey State House rebuked the governor’s office and new allegations emerged that his administration tried to intimidate a New Jersey elected official.
snip, to the best part:
Instead, the New Jersey governor was whisked into an event at the Country Club of Orlando, and, later, a fund-raiser at a Palm Beach home owned by the heir to a sugar fortune.
Inside, Mr. Christie found what must pass, at this difficult moment, as an oasis for him: a group of Ferrari and Jaguar-driving Florida Republicans for whom traffic in New Jersey is a distant thought.
Getting into his Bentley after the fund-raiser, one guest, Geoffrey Leigh, called the controversy over the lane closures “little flies on the wall, quite frankly.”

She was beside herself because her town wasn't getting any assistance rescuing people who had been trapped in their homes by the flooding. She was practically in tears, begging the National Guard to get there asap because they had the vehicles and equipment needed to get to people and they weren't coming. She's great.
...the butthole that used it claims that the controversy (i.e. SCANDAL and ABUSE OF POWER) was just like flies on the wall, insignificant in the big picture. My comment was intended to point out that people were more than inconvenienced, and if his mother was the one who died during the roadblocks (more than mere "lane closures"
would he still consider this a mere "controversy" and insignificant?
Getting into his Bentley after the fund-raiser, one guest, Geoffrey Leigh, called the controversy over the lane closures “little flies on the wall, quite frankly.”
Could he have been any more condescending?
Edited to add:
I guessed correctly:
"The Palm Beach fundraiser is slated to be held later Saturday (time unclear) at the private residence of Jose F. "Pepe" Fanjul, Jr., who runs the Florida Crystals empire."

It's for Rick Scott (another creep).
Wonder if his Crispiness feels like they're little flies on his wall?
Jeez, what's so hard about that?
