Christie On "Harsh vs. Honest"

New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, was on the Daily Show last week.  If you head out to the Daily Show's web page, you will find the extended interview.  This is a little bit beautiful.  Even Jon Stewart can't help but to laugh.  Say way you will about Christie, and I will pause while you do that.



Done?

Ok, now: Christie's a funny guy who feels really real.  And Really Real is something that the Romney/Ryan ticket couldn't do.  This little bit here shows someone that, I believe, is very charismatic, and would be a welcome addition to the 2016 Presidential ticket.  The other favorites from the GOP can't do what he does.  Think about it:  when was the last time Paul Ryan made you laugh?  I mean, not "at" but "with?"  Marco Rubio?  I can't remember what that guy looks like when I am looking right at him.  Christie, you don't forget.  He's doing something a little more authentic.  Notice near the 8:45 mark, Jon says "You keep that up and, I think, you and Hillary are going to have a hell of a battle in 2016."  He goes on to say that the people are starved for this kind of honest.

Christie, himself, made the "starved" joke about his own weight.  I have to admit, I like the guy.  Honest.
