Chris Christie Expands His Video Beatdowns to the West Coast

Lifted from Ace. It's obviously not enough for Chris Christie, Baddest Governor on the Planet, to abuse hapless reporters and leave sniveling schoolteachers in a puddle of tears. Now he's gone bi-coastal and laid out some Democrat hack in California.

Christie was concluding a town hall meeting with Whitman when an angry audience member criticized her for not taking questions.

"What are you hiding?" shouted Ed Buck, in jeans and a light shirt in the front row of the 400-person event. "You’re looking like Arnold in a dress," he said in a reference to outgoing California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Before Whitman could respond, Christie stepped down from the stage and got in Buck’s face.

"Hey, listen. You know what. You want to yell, yell at me," Christie said, shutting down Buck as Christie’s bodyguards calmly but quickly approached the two men. "It’s people who raise their voices and yell and scream like you who are dividing this country. We’re here to bring this country together."

Talking to reporters after the event, Whitman said she figured Buck was planted in the audience by her opponents.

Had enough Christie? I didn't think so.

N.J. Gov. Christie: You may hate me now, but ten years from now you'll be sending me a thank you note
