Hm...Really?


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) next month will host a private fundraiser in Boston, theBoston Globe reported Thursday.The event, which will include 25 to 30 guests who will be asked to donate $3,800 to to the Christie's re-election bid, will be held March 1. 
Lets round up, shall we? 30 guests times 4,000.00 is 120,000?  For a guy running in another State's Gubernatorial election? I see why its worth it to Christie to fly up and gorge on steak on his campaign's dime, but why is it worth it to the movers and shakers of Boston? Is it the financial guys jonesing for a taste of the sweet, sweet, Rodney Dangerfield good looks and Don Rickles comedy stylings of New Jersey's own fat fuck? I can't imagine its the Tech guys. But maybe 3,800 is chump change and this is the equivalent of a Tupperware party for the big money boys. They are going to be spending the money anyway, somewhere, so they might as well eat out with Christie as with anyone else. Myself I can't think of anything more horrifying. I'd be afraid he'd mistake me for an appetizer.  But presumably they want to be an early donor to someone they think can take the Republican party back from the lunatics. At that rate expect them to fly a lot of wannabe Republican Presidential Candidates up here to kiss their rings. At 3,800 its cheap at the price although it would be hard on the stomach.
