At Least Bill Maher Likes Chris Christie


No, Chris Christie doesn’t get to hang out with the cool conservative kids anymore. But Bill Maher likes him, at least.

“[Despite] the sizable portion of America who wants to hear ‘We’re the greatest country in the world! With the greatest people in the world! With the best health care!’ I still think that’s the minority. More and more, Americans want authentic. They want to hear at least a little truth,” Maher blogged Monday.

“That’s why Chris Christie is so popular, despite being kind of a prick: because people finally sense that he’s a guy who isn’t playing a character. That’s the actual man. And he’s hungry for change. Also baby back ribs.”

“Kind of a prick.” Not sure it’ll work as a campaign slogan, but Christie’s got backing from at least one celeb.
