Chris Christie was moderately amusing on Saturday Night Live this week. 

That said, he was joking around while New Jersey is still suffering. 

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.

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?

We’ve got people from Louisiana and North Carolina coming in to help New Jersey, while Christie hops from one photo op to another. Sandy, like everything else, has turned out to be all about the monumental ego of a big man who wants to be an even bigger man.

NJ took the brunt of the storm and a buddy has been keeping me abreast of the continued problems. The MSM was fixated on the happless response to Katrina, eager to put it at Bush's feet but they seem disinterested in doing it this time around. Perhaps because the golden boy, for all his posturing, would be to blame.
