Outrage! Gov. Chris Christie Uses State Helicopter And Limo To Get To Son’s Baseball Game

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is taking a little heat for taking time out of his day to go to his son’s high school baseball game, which is ridiculous. He was just being a good dad. Wait, what’s that? People are actually mad that he used a helicopter purchased for $12.5 million of tax payer money to get there? Well, that’s not that bad. He’s a busy guy and he didn’t want to miss the game. Besides, if you’re spending that much on the thing, you might as well use it. Wait, there’s more? He also required a limo to drive him the 100 yards from the landing site to the field? Oh. Yeah, that’s looks pretty bad.

From the Star Ledger:

“Right before the lineup cards were being exchanged on the field, a noise from above distracted the spectators as the 55-foot long helicopter buzzed over trees in left field, circled the outfield and landed in an adjacent football field. Christie disembarked from the helicopter and got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field.

During the 5th inning, Christie and First Lady Mary Pat Christie got into the car, rode back to the helicopter and left the game. During a pitching change, play was stopped for a couple of minutes while the helicopter took off.”

Now, a lot of people are annoyed since the Governor has been so strident about making cuts to the state budget, but that’s clearly not the problem here. The problem is that this must have been terrible for his son. I mean, think about it! This is high school! High school students are mortified by their parents no matter who they are. You could be the governor, the president, or the King of Awesomevania and your kid would still be embarrassed by you. It’s a fact of life; if you’re a teenager, you don’t want your parents drawing attention. You want your parents to be wearing a Harry Potter invisibility cloak at all times so that the other kids can’t glean any more ammunition to make fun of you with. Hell, those kids are already razzing you enough for making Harry Potter references.

Just imagine what the kids in the dugout were saying! “Hey, man, hit a homer!” “Yeah, see if you can hit it high enough for Andrew’s dad to catch it in his giant freakin’ helicopter!”

So, forget the political problems. That’s not what’s really important here. What’s important is that Christie embarrassed his son. During prom season! Why didn’t he just run onto the field and clean schmutz off the kid’s cheek with his finger? This is like that time your mom walked into the school dance to tell you she was there to pick you up. Only instead of arriving in a dog-hair covered minivan, she arrived in a giant helicopter so every single girl in the grade heard her arrive.

Bad move, Mr. Governor. Bad move.

I agree completely. Remember Clinton flying all the way across country in AF1 to get a haircut on the runway at LAX ? I think it really hurt him. LBJ was a helicopter nut. He would fly it around DC and drop in on people unannounced. There is a famous story of him dropping in on David Brinkley’s family picnic for a chat, and Brinkley politely but firmly declining.

Christie was coming in from out of town and landed near his son’s game as opposed to his normal landing sight, also limo would have taken him to state house or home anyway.

Christie not wanting to walking the 100 yards in 96 degree heat, for obvious reasons being pounced on is a stretch even for those douchebags , Andrea Mitchell, MSNBC and Alex Burns, Politico.

He needed to be driven 100 yards? REALLY? The limo part is kinda ridiculous but 100 yards? He can’t walk that distance? His heart must be a ticking time bomb

It may be a bad move Jon, but it is predictable and typical of people who claim to outraged by government spending. And we already had a taste of this guy’s personal spending habits at the expense of the taxpayer when he was attorney general. Conservatives are born hypocrites.

This morning’s Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll shows Gov. Chris Christie with a 40% favorable rating and 45% unfavorable, a reversal from 47% favorable and 41% unfavorable in April; while a third of voters (32%) say the governor is doing a “poor” job, up five points from April.”

As are liberals. Oh wait… that right. You dumb enough to think one side cares and the other doesn’t. Like giving Egypt a billion $’s and Joplin a belated visit and a few nice words. Thanks for that BTW from Missouri where libs don’t care because were conservative fly over country. Good think the people of Joplin didn’t sit around wainting. Just rolled up the sleeves and starting fixing things.

It would be NJ’s loss if they let the union scumbags sway their votes away from him.

He has a long career in national politics, even as president some day, if He and his family choose that path.

I’ve been a Republican voter in New Jersey for 35 years. Delusional is the way ordinary folks vote democrat over and over again , with nothing to show for it but two jobs and a sore, sticky ass.
EdinNJ

Republican hypocrisy in action, as usual.

Christie Todd Whitman used the helicopter issue during her campaign against Jim Florio. James McGreevy was also criticized for overusing the state helicopters, while John Corzine had to reimburse the state for use of the helicopter. But conservitards on this site will rush to defend Christie, despite the fact he used the helicopter in order to be able to rush back to Trenton for a political meeting with Iowa Republicans, and not for official state business.

This will haunt Christie. It’s just another example of his motto: Do as I say, not as I do.

“It is important to understand that State Police helicopters fly daily homeland security missions, and use flight time for training purposes, more so lately as we acclimate our pilots to the new aircraft,”

Ah, so instead of the plane being used for crime it was used for Dumbo’s drop. Now my mind is at ease! It’s of no additional costs, right up until the police force needs more money and guess whose door they knock on?

This is not the story, almost all politicians are rich and oblivious, the story is the man physically cannot walk 100 yards. Being fat is one thing, but being fat and atrophied to this extent is very dangerous for a man his age.

Well, it looks like Obama’s team of hit men are successful in finding a piece of *dirt* on Christie.

Funny though, that the dirt is the same dirt found on Obama.

http://barackphotos.com/tag/helicopter/

State Police said the governor’s trip took one hour, at an estimated cost of about $2,500. But State Police Superintendent Rick Fuentes said Christie’s use of the helicopter carried “no additional cost to taxpayers or the State Police budget.”

“It is important to understand that State Police helicopters fly daily homeland security missions, and use flight time for training purposes, more so lately as we acclimate our pilots to the new aircraft,” Fuentes said in a statement released Wednesday. “These are flight hours that would be logged in any event.”

Since it didn’t cost the tax payers anything, I don’t see the harm. Bad optic though, and it gave the hounds what they wanted.
Tedderman

Man, that’s one powerful helicopter. And imagine this, the state Troopers of New Jersey are covering Christie’s very ample back side saying, we were headed that way. The question however is, how far did the Govs. limo drive to take him the 100 yards from the field where he landed to the baseball park? Presumably it drove him home too.

Leftist nailed…spin much? No cost because the state does test flights anyway!!!??? Weak, at best,….. no…just crap!

Had this been Obama, by this same weak, weak partner in slime spin, you “teas” would have lost it! Since airforce one makes daily test flights and distance flights, none of Obama’s trips cost tax payers anything! Weak,…. stupid,……yeah it is!

This might have bothered us before Gabrielle Gifford’s being shot by a that wacko Jarrod Loughner. But, Politicians who expose themselves (Whoops Weiner funny) to the public, do so at a potential heavy price (Whoops Christi fat funny) They (politicians) get police protection 24/7. We pay for the cost one way or another!

It was an assholish thing to do. He should pay the fuel bill and any other ancillary charges.
bruceleroy

Let me guess… The limo driver was also on a daily training mission and it didn’t cost the state a single cent.

If this were Obama right-wing sites would be running stories like “Obama endangers children by flying copter within 100 yards of football field on the tax payers dole!!!!”
Steve_27

Jon Bershad takes a moronic turn for the worse when the 2nd half of the article only includes his own opinion about Chris embarrassing his son by showing up with a helicopter. My boy’s friends thought I was cool as hell for just coming to his game with my motorcycle. The friggin helicopter might make the kid a hero in school.

He would have been better off, and much more credible as a “journalist,” if he used the last 3 paragraphs to insted get the Governor’s take on why he would do such a thing.

Good reporting though Jon. Your the best. ;)

As for Chistie’s actions, I’ll hold off my thoughts on this incident till I hear from him but yeah, he’s looking kinda dumb rite now. I haven’t liked him anyway ever since he supported the decision to fire the MTA worker that burned a koran while off duty. If thats a not a red flag for clueless liberalism I dont know what is.

But either way I bet we’ll get either an apology or an explanation that makes us understand. As opposed to the childlike deflective nonsense we hear from Weiner and other liberals.

“Will not cost taxpayers”? Then Christie must have paid for the flight, the fuel, the troopers, et. al.
The cars were driven, empty, to the game by state employees. The copter was flown there with the Gov.
Now, either the taxpayers of NJ paid for all that, US taxpayers paid for it under misuse of “Homeland Security” funds, or Christie paid for it.
Christie claims he needn’t pay. That leaves the taxpayers.
eyemjustsayin

Soooo, Gov Christie likes the bennies of being gov. How astounding! I sure hope you made your two appointments that day that required a State helicopter and black limo. I’m not positive I understand where the “shared sacrifices” are for you. You’re so arrogant, and dismissive of people and their needs. Well, people that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks, eh Gov? You were wrong to use those luxuries for your personal activities. The rules apply to all of us, even the self-entitled as yourself.

Geography lesson:
The state capitol of New Jersey is Trenton.
Gov. Chrispy-Creme flew from Trenton to Montvale to watch five innings of his son’s baseball game.
He then flew to Princeton to talk to fund-raisers from Iowa.
Taxpayers paid for the flight.

Listen, DMF:
On 9/30/01 (end of FY ’01), the National Debt was $5.8Trillion. That was the last budget authored by Clinton.
On 9/30/09 (end of FY ’09), the National Debt was $11.9Trillion, after Bush’s last budget.
On 6/1/11 the National Debt was $14.3Trillion.
YOU SIR, DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!
W “racked up” $6.1 TRILLION in debt!
Obama has, to date, $2.4 Trillion.

The kids must have gotten a real kick seeing a father come to a game in a helicopter. His son must be proud of his father. Maybe it made up for the time his job has taken Christie away from his family. The amount of time Christie must spend dealing w/ running this state, next time I think he should take Air force One to his son’s game. Great job Christie. You are a super hero.
X-3

So, Christie uses a helicopter to get to his kids game and the left wing lunatics are messing their drawers about it. Then Piglosi ferrys her and her family from DC to SF once a week and suddenly that’s OK. I think I understand now.
