Christie offers tough talk on Israel at AIPAC gala

[Scurrilous]

Pundits ask whether gov may be eying vice-presidential nod

"Crossing state lines to tackle international issues, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that “America should stand by its friends and its democratic allies even, and sometimes especially, when it’s unpopular to do so.”

Christie was widely quoted at a technically off-the-record Feb. 10 address to a packed grand ballroom at the New York Hilton Hotel.

The Republican governor quoted a Democratic president, Franklin D Roosevelt, to underscore his support for Israel.

“Please judge me by the enemies I have made,” said Christie, citing FDR as his source, then adding, “In that same spirit, I would like to say to all of you tonight: I admire Israel for the enemies it has made.”

"Christie’s tough talk on a key foreign policy issue triggered new speculation, particularly in parts of the conservative blogosphere, that he may still be seeking higher office, perhaps as the Republican vice presidential candidate.

Although the governor did not mention President Barack Obama in his remarks, the president and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi were both booed by some members of the audience when they appeared in video presentation at the dinner, according to observers."

1. "Tough talk"...?

More like "bravely and forcefully telling people exactly what they want to hear."

2. And this on the 'eve' of him vetoing the equal rights bill.

Whatta guy. Guess he needed an adrenaline infusion.
