NJ Governor Chris Christie’s message to hundreds of fracktivists that converged on Trenton yesterday:
Christie at a press conference said that he was not sure a declaration of victory at the rally was in order.
“That could be right or wrong. If it gone up today, it might have been voted down, and then it would be over. So maybe they didn’t exactly get the victory they should have wanted to get, because they don’t know how people would have voted today on these,” the Republican governor said. “Maybe they shouldn’t be so happy about that. But listen, that’s up to them. They traveled to Trenton. I hope they’re buying lunch, paying for parking and all the rest of that stuff that helps the city, and so I’m hopeful for that. Beyond that, they can make their own political judgments.”
The Governor’s snide comments again show what a small man he is (in that Fat Costume) – and again reveal that he can only think of democracy and real commitments in narrow economic terms (i.e. buying lunch and paying for parking – the positive economic impact on Trenton).
That (un-rescinded) NJ Environmental Federation Christie endorsement is looking worse every day.
Scenes from the protest
But there were some Skunks at the Party!
[Update: it really broke my heart to see well motivated and sincere activists manipulated by the bullshit about “over-ride the veto”.
That legislation is merely a symbolic gesture – NJ Dems ran away from their own stronger bill that would have blocked the Governor – as NJ’s rep on DRBC – from voting to approve fracking.
Don’t waste any bullets on giving the Dems credit for nothing.

I am related to the Godfather of Toxics himself. He finds your blog quite annoying. I find it amusing considering it finally gave us something to talk about during Christmas. Shoot me an e-mail sometime and we’ll talk.
