While New Jersey Residents Suffer, Governor Christie Goes on Saturday Night Live
November 18, 2012 By Daniel Greenfield
Tens of thousands of New Jersey residents are without power. Many have lost homes and everything else that they have. Some don’t have enough to eat and others are struggling to stay warm.
This is not the time for a responsible leader to go do his self-promoting shtick on Saturday Night Live. But Christie seems so tone deaf that he puts his self-promotion ahead of anything else.
Yes Giuliani went on Saturday Night Live a few weeks after September 11, but that wasn’t a series of gags, it was a serious tribute to those who died in the attacks. It had very little in common with Christie showing off the same routine that he does every time he’s in the vicinity of a video camera. And at a time when New Jersey residents still need help, why is their Governor spending time on a comedy show cracking jokes about what people have been going through?

It takes a lot of talent to be “funny” at a serious time.
Unfortunely the Gov. doesn’t have it.
Lighten up.
Who cares. It was funny. It is not as if he had to write the material, he just had to show up.
I feel the same way about Obama’s appearances on The Daily Show and Leno.
I feel the same way about Obama’s appearance as President.
Luckily it was only Saturday Night Live, so nobody even saw it.
