It’s been a rough couple of weeks for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
CHRISTIE: “Good afternoon, everybody. You’ve heard enough speeches of the same thing.”
That’s booing you hear in the background. Christie was at an event in Times Square Saturday celebrating next year’s Super Bowl which will be held in Arizona. (Via WPVI)
By KYW-TV’s count, the embattled governor only spoke for about 30 seconds —
“Congratulations to the NFL and congratulations to the host committee. Thank you all very much.”
— and rushed off the stage without taking questions.
All that just just one day after news broke that one of Christie’s former political appointees at the Port Authority was suggesting the governor knew about purposeful lane closures on the George Washington Bridge. (Via CBS)

So you could say the sampling of boos from the crowd at Times Square Saturday might indicate the governor’s still got some work to do to convince his critics.
