pantslessprogressive: shortformblog: Famous fiscal conservative Chris Christie takes reputation-damaging helicopter ride Hey look guys, he’s spending state money on himself! New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, he of shrinking poll numbers, didn’t want to spend money on a popular subway project (and wants to cut Medicaid for the poor), but he’s not against flying on state police helicopters to go watch his son’s high school baseball games, and getting driven from the launching pad to the field via a limo.

(thanks climateadaptation) That limo ride from the launching pad to the baseball field? 100 yards.
