no worries your wallet will imitate you
I know you thought we’d help, glad I had a chance to set you straight.
If we switch places we will look like the number 10
Congratulations Governor, we have planted some seeds of bipartisan co-operation here today!
How does it fill to meet the real Boss?
Atlantic City Trumps us both.
Governor Krispy, you got Kremed.
If I let you fly on Marine One you’ll have to pay for two seats.
If a worthless Obozo like me can get elected twice, you certainly should try again to lose that extra 300 pounds.
I got my photo op, so you take care of the rest big guy.
“Today is the first day of my next FOUR
YEARS”
Governor, you are the perfect American for my Regime.
Loud, rude, overweight and looking for a handout.
Welcome to the Democrat Party!
I think you could use a hug. I want to introduce you to my pizza buddy down in Florida!
You stay here, I’ll go get help…
Becoming non partisan was the right thing to do in the face of this disaster…Now can I get you to speak to congress and point them in the same direction.
“Trust me…there is way more dirt in politics than there is on the Jersey shore.
Thanks for helping me fool all those useful idiots again.
Now here’s the coupons I promised for lifetime supplies of donuts and pizza.
Governor, I’ve personally expedited your request to FEMA for emergency corn dogs.
Chris, remember you are in good hands with FEMA.
Chris, we are best friends forever.
“Don’t worry, Chris, I’ve ordered an emergency shipment of Coney Island hot dogs and cotton candy!”
Thank you for your support. You now have time for your physical.
Governor, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Politics does make for strange bedfellows, but I’m going to sleep in the White House tonight and FEMA will be sure to provide you extra blankets at the shelter.
With more Republicans like you, who needs Democrats?
You think this was devastating?
Just wait until my policies kick in next year.
I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect storm.
You’re a hero to your country, Benedict Christie.
Ask not what you did to your country…
Way to take one for the team, Comrade.
If I ever need a windbreak, I’ll call you.
From one blowhard to another, good job.
“For helping me get re-elected I’ll make you my new Chief Of Staff.”
I’m glad you didn’t run in this race,but then again, that’s something you don’t do very often!
Why does it take such a tragic event to bring us together?
” Don’t call me Brownie “
Thanks for putting me over the top big guy, have you given any thought about switching teams?
I’ll help you win the election if you deport Snooki to Italy.
“Thanks. Couldn’t have done it without you, Sandy… er… Governor.”
” I heard the biggest loser T.V. show was calling you..No the other one, Fox News.”
“I have to thank you Christy for helping me in a very big weigh.”
“I want to thank you Christy for being my biggest supporter.”
I know you’re a Mets fan, and I think you’d look good in the costume, but I can’t get you a gig as their mascot Mr. Met.
If you go on a diet, I’ll give you a ride on my helicopter!
Don’t worry about the election, Mr. President; a Republican hasn’t won an election for a presidency in New Jersey since 1988.
New Jersey arrests about 25,000 people per year for cannabis offenses and has an unemployment rate over 9%. Maybe it’s time to legalize cannabis to create jobs, reduce crime and bring in new tax revenues.

Thank you for your campaign contribution, Governor, but I don’t have time to go with you and your wife on a late-night doughnut run to the Krispy Kreme in Collingswood.
I know you boast that you’ve been to 125 shows, but No, you cannot borrow Marine One to fly to another Springsteen concert. My man Bruce doesn’t even like your policies.
I know you dislike the show “Jersey Shore”, but I cannot change the name of Hurricane Sandy to Hurricane Snooki?
It’s a good thing you didn’t run for President in 2012. That would have made this moment very awkward for you.
