And get this; Christie is on vacation and his Lieutenant Governor, Kim Guadango, (New Jersey's very FIRST Lieutenant Governor (the position was only created just prior to the last election) is on vacation too!

Another example of the true Chris Christie: Corrupt, arrogant, incompetent, and just plain out of touch with reality. No wonder Christie is refusing to release his travel records!

2. Update: December 30, 2010 - Chris Christie still at Disney World, Guadagno still in Mexico

New Jersey still buried in snow.

I guess Christie and Guadagno are staying in the tropics for the New Year. Or until the roads are clear. But that could be New year 2012 at this rate.

"Happy New Year, New Jersey, whichever!"
-- Chris Christie and Kim Guadagno
