Vespa "coming out of the closet"...

NO...I am not gay god forbid....
I decided to let everyone know that I am extremely proud of our new Governor of NJ...Christopher Christie..let me explain.
In 1983 I attended "Boys State" at Ryder College in NJ and was assigned "Jefferson City" in a mock study of government.
My roommate was named Chris Christie....we got along great.....That week we watched the delivery of a big machine in the mess hall of that college (we were seniors in high school). I wanted to watch cheerleader practice because Im a pervert but Chris wanted to see what "the machine was". It was a new concept called a video game and it was Space Invaders....we stared at the screen watching those monkey things running delivering the letters of the machine...Cool..ok Chris can we check the girls out!! No, lets play it.....crack addiction occurs!! Anyway Chris ended up being the governor of this mock "Boys State" by the end of the week. He definitely had it in his blood back then.

We both ended up going to the University of Delaware and rooming together until i got an apartment.....we both were very active in Student government and by our senior year in 1988 Chris was president of the undergraduate student congress....

In 1985 one day during lunch we were bullshitting about government stuff and I looked at him and said..."Chris you know what...your gonna be the fuckin president of the US some day". How about that for a prediction...Im getting close.

We have kept in touch sporadically through the years and I knew this day was coming...not fast enough considering NJ is heading the way of California...no matter what your political bent is...let me tell you guys Chris may be a great asset at a very turbulent time for this country...He will be a dick at times but things will get done...he will definately NOT be popular with the media.

All in all, all nutters keep your pants on because the way this is turning out...I got a feeling there may be a nutter party in the White House!!!

Ok I spilled the beans but please dont ask me for political favors because Chris doesnt do that shit...

I am eagerly looking forward to Jon Stewart's assessment's of your friend's performance, him being a Jersey boy and all.

Seriously, that's great news for your friend.

Me, too. I'm the first to admit all the good pols aren't necessarily in one political party or the other.

See if you can score tix to all his inaugural events! Those things are a blast, and there's usually free booze and food for days...
