Chris Christie Gives Glenn Beck Meetup Question The Slip

It's no secret that Glenn Beck has been known to engage in a little unilateral "bromance" with his fellow conservative, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

But in a recent interview, Gov. Christie appeared to dodge when asked if he wanted to plan an encounter with the radio and TV host, who has just kicked off a Tea Party tour in New Jersey.

"Glenn Beck wants to meet you, you want to meet him?" a reporter from the New Jersey Star-Ledger asked Christie.

"I heard that Glenn wants to meet me. I heard he was in New Jersey," Christie responded, chuckling. "I feel really lucky that I have so many people out there who are saying that my policies are good policies, and all those people deserve to have my gratitude and he, among others, does."

The reporter, noticing the lack of a clear answer, asked if the Governor would mind him reporting the apparent sidestep.

"As long as you report accurately my answer," Christie said.

In May, Beck responded affectionately to an incident in which Christie blasted a reporter with a tirade that touted his conservative and confrontational nature. In his emotional feedback, Beck defined Christie's "sexy" comeback as "common sense porn."

And last month, Beck's adoration of Christie was publicly renewed when he displayed what The Hill called a "man-crush" over the New Jersey Governor's spirited defense of California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman at a forum.

Wow, the only thing Christie does that I agree with...reluctant to meet Beck. The "man-crush" thing is pretty creepy.

Christie will eventually have to meet with both Beck and Limbaugh and "kiss" their collective rings if he wants their blessing(s). You cant play on the Republikkkant circus if you dont show respect to the ringmasters.

I suspect unfortunately you are correct. It seems Limbaugh really is the grand puba of the right wingnut Republican party....they have all sucked up at one time or another.

Christie may be smarter than I thought he was. If he were wise, he'd stay clear of that idiot.

Wow. I totally misread your post. I initially read the word 'bow' as a different word - although probably still accurate.

Probably because Christie discovered there would be no doughnuts or bear claws served at the meeting location.

So far Christie lost a $400 million Federal Education Grant that could have put thousands to work.

And Christie shut down road building putting thousands out of work.

What does Christie have against people working in NJ ?

Didn't you hear Christie's explanation for this total snafu?  It was President Obama's fault for making the FEG application process too complicated.  ReTHUGlipigs...when they're in doubt or shown to be totally incompetent, just blame Obama and they'll get a free pass.

We are looking into solar for our home and found Christie cut the rebate by $4,000 already. Makes me think we better move fast before he decides it's a totally cuttable program. I am also in fear of my Father losing his PAD program, which is a excellent program for prescription drugs for the aged. Strangely, this year he didn't have to re-apply, makes me think it's on the chopping block, since when something is being cut, they usually don't make you re-apply the last year, they just give it and cut it out totally the next year. I'm praying, but really worried about the things Corzine finally got for us, that Christy is quietly destroying. I really hate this guy, and in my lifetime, I haven't really said that about too many people.
