Mark Levin: Chris Christie‘s a ’Big Slob’ Whose ‘Ego Is Completely Out of Control’

Talk radio host Mark Levin is infuriated with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. On Monday, Levin took to his radio show to hammer Christie over his handling of Hurricane Irene. The radio commentator took particular issue with the tone the governor used when addressing New Jersey residents last week.
At The Blaze reported, prior to the storm hitting the East Coast, Christie made the following comments, among others:
“You’re done. It’s 4:30 PM. You’ve maximized your tan. Get off the beach. Get in you cars and get out of those areas.”
Levin‘s felt that Christie’s comments were unprofessional and un-statesman-like. Yesterday, on-air, he said:
“This is a governor — he’s an elected official. He’s talking to his citizens this way. People aren’t hanging around on the beach to get a tan when it’s overcast, windy and raining. And ‘get out of your beach house.’ In other words, drop everything you own. Drop everything you have because the governor says so. And if you don’t do it, you get maligned by the governor. Now this is a man whose ego is completely out of control.”
According to Levin, the governor should have left the decision to evacuate up to homeowners. He says that Christie could have merely encouraged the evacuation, while making known the lack of available public services should they choose to stay. He felt that Christie demeaned residents:
“The governor’s job is to provide people with information and if he thinks they should leave based on the best information he has. He should strongly encourage it. He shouldn’t belittle them. He shouldn’t scream at them. He shouldn’t call them names. Just say it like a statesman, you big slob.”

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 2:02pmIn my view Christie came across very well and I’m not a Christie fan (I like his personality but not his politics). He made a very important point and threw in some humor. It’s silly to suggest Christie actually believed people were working on their tans.
Levin is an AM talk radio host who makes money saying the most outrageous things he can think of. He’s a capitalist, making money off the poorly informed. Good for him, but I hope he’s not making too much off of you guys.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 2:06pmYou obviously do not know who Mark Levin is. He is no friend of the union bosses. He is a terrific voice from the right who worked with Ronald Reagan and is good friends with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. He wrote 2 great books called “Liberty and Tyranny” and “Men in Black”.
He questions whether Christie is truly conservative. Levin is extremely passionate and sometimes colorful expressing that passion, but he is the real deal. He cares about this country and it’s founding very deeply.
You should listen to him on the radio. You will learn a great deal from him.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 6:35pmThis little rant by Mark Levin can be summed up as nothing more then Mark once again exposing he and his views are a faction of the progressive movement.
Chris Christie has his own issues that trouble me but speaking bluntly is not one of them. In fact, that is what leaders are to do and being Governor he did just that. After warning after warning and there are still some on the beach, yes the leader of the state needs to stand in truth and bluntly say get the hell off the beach.
I do figure George Washington would speak quite bluntly if the first warnings were not adhered to because that’s a leaders role.
Mark ridiculed, insulted and personally attacked Christie. If you vocally disagree with him your labelled anti-semetic. If you debate his followers on his site he kicks you off to silence you. Mark Levin is NeoCon, he is for using military and financial aid to spread democracy. Mark Levin will use these tactics against anyone who doesn’t view the world as him. Mark Levin is no Conservative. Mark Levin is a Progressive right. Look yourself.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 8:52pmMark Levin is a Progressive or a Neocon? Good grief.
The depth and breadth of the willful ignorance and stupidity that oozes onto this site is often mind-boggling. Laughable.
In fact, I actually enjoy reading the Daily Kos more because, like all tolerant Statists, they simply don’t tolerate a diversity of opinion (only the degree of Statism is debated) which allows me to gauge the fluid state of their depravity without filter or muffler. I’m happy to report that they are at least as unhappy with Dear Leader as anyone in the Tea Party. He’s a monumental disappointment to everyone apparently.
By the way, I would argue that Mark Levin is the one indispensable voice of Constitutionalism in America. He worked in the Reagan administration as chief of staff at Justice (for Meese) and is now the head of Landmark Legal Foundation as well as broadcasting nightly nationwide. He isn’t too bright, I guess, but Landmark did file a successful brief in support of Ken Cuccinelli (SP?) in the Obamacare litigation. You can read it online if you want to better understand the issues in the case.
He has an audience of eight million and for good reason. If you are unaware of his commitment to saving this republic, you might consider checking in. “Liberty and Tyranny” is a foundational primer on the threats to our freedom and “Men in Black” should be a mandatory lesson on the Supreme Court. I guess I like the guy.

I know property tax rates in NJ haven’t come down yet as Chris Christie said he would work on, but it’s got to be one battle at a time. I believe he will get it done once the public unions are put in their place and taught a lesson. If he doesn’t, then he gets voted out. That simple.

I saw some idiot messing around in the surf while watching FNC, and the guy didn’t leave until the authorities told him to take off.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 1:05pmGotta love the shamelessness of Levin (who I respect on just about everything else!):
“He shouldn’t call them names. Just say it like a statesman, you big slob.”
Back to back sentences: 1. don’t name names; 2. you’re a big slob.
Yeah, Levin’s point is well intended: you give the warning and let people govern themselves. But it‘s a little overboard to claim Christie’s NOT doing that, but is rather using force and forceful language. He just said it with his typical Christie flair, that’s all. The message was still “I think you‘re stupid if you don’t evacuate now, but it’s up to you if you want to be stupid and stay near the beach.” It’s not like he sent in the national guard to extract people, or incompetently forgot he had parking lots full of buses he could have used but didn’t think about them in time (Hello: Ray Nagin).

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 1:07pmI see a different facet to what Christie said and how he said it.
The State of New Jersey is not likely to get sued by anyone who did stay in the hurricane’s path and suffered because of their (foolish?) decision. In today’s litigious society, people who do stupid things seem to sue in spite of their foolishness. However, with Gov. Christie’s forceful delivery of warning and calling for evacuation, doesn’t it seem logical to think that few, if any, lawyers would take on such cases? (Under this scenario, it would seem difficult for an attorney to portray their clients as the injured parties when the governor of the state made such strong statements preceding the storm.)

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 1:09pmOh Hog-wash, Christ Christie is beginning to sound semi-dictatorial just as Rick Perry has sounded in the past on certain issues. Mark Levin is correct in his analysis. Think about that for a minute or two, at how some of these seemingly calm, collected, rational and liberty enforcing leaders are beginning to shift somewhat to sounding more sinister? And it is what it is. There are people who seem like one but you find out they are another. And make no mistake about it, but the Tea Party is getting used, and so beware of any trap set out there fore you. As far as the banks and bankers go, they deserve whatever the far left brings to them and here’s why. A friend of mine recently applied for a loan; the bank declined it not based upon credit score, but based upon his needs. The bank representative told him it is declined because it doesn’t appear he needs it. Therefore they have appointed themselves as Kings, and they decided that my friend is just fine where he is at in life. And this is why God is spinning those from the North around against them.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 2:10pmI don’t know Levin. But I can see someone complaining that Christie’s warning should have sounded more dignified and less like an angry parent. However, it seems wrong that Levin would resort to the same sort of behavior that he’s criticising. In fact, his offense seems far more personal and malicious. Some might respond that he’s not the governor and that governors should be held to a higher standard. But I would hold that treating your fellow humans with respect and consideration is not a function of your station in life. It’s something that all of us should be endeavoring to do, especially when we’re criticising them.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 6:27pm@ Igaspar It’s not about Levin in general or even his philosophy, I’m sure I agree with him often, however, it’s about his rant on this subject as posted. His rant about Christie is unimportant and juvenile. There are bigger issues and he is just as bad as the one he insults. Levin demonstrates the Glass house syndrome.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 12:52pmI have no problem with what Chris Christie said. His warning was most definitely not the only warning residents of New Jersey heard. I’m sure their local news channels were covering the story, and I KNOW that all of the cable channels were covering it. Many people did not listen to the warnings inititally and needed to hear it like it was.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 1:13pmChris Christie could have pulled a Ray Nagin Katrina move and not been stern enough….at which point the FraudCast media would probably be castigating him.
Most of the time I agree with Mr. Levin, but not in this case.
The inflection and sarcasm given my Christie reflected the necessity needed to deal with the dingbat’s that were still oblivious and reckless enough to still try catching a wave. Less people may have died because of this. Maybe? I didn’t see too many people in Jersey standing on their roofs……..not like Katrina, anyways.

My in-laws live up in the mountains of good old Wyoming. Guess what? They live so far off the beaten trail that they can’t get fire insurance…They aren’t going to ask anyone to pay for their house if it burns down either – they knew the risks, and they accepted the risks as their own. It is part of being free. A lot more people need to try it. I’m actually for getting rid of all insurance. Imagine what would happen to prices if everyone had to pay their own way?! Imagine if banks didn’t handle mortgages, and people actually had to save up for houses before they bought them…do you think costs would still be like they are?
By the way – if I’m ever hiking in a desolate area, and I break my leg, or get bitten by a snake – don’t worry – I’m not going to be asking the tax payers to help me out there either. No helicopters, thank you – I knew the risks when I went to the back country. If people started weighing their own personal risks against the potential reward(s), we’d have a lot fewer irresponsible people being cared for by the rest of us.

Posted on August 30, 2011 at 12:50pmI‘ve noticed Christie’s decline since he has been in office. A politician needs a certain amount of narcissism, but it needs to be controlled. Just look at obama. Christie began well, but he fell in love with his own words. If he would have run for president, his ego would have been exposed to the public and he would not have been elected. I hope Christie takes a good look at himself and gets his head straight.
Report Post »firstHat
Posted on August 30, 2011 at 1:50pmHonestly, Christie has always been somewhat arrogant (this from someone who once often shared an elevator with him before he was the gov). He is a progressive and a beltway Repube who tends to look over the heads of the “little” people. I don’t like much of his politics outside of his efforts to rein in the state unions (and I say that as an unwilling minion of one of those). Having said that, he IS a man of conscience and honor of his own sort. As a prosecutor he was ruthless toward all sides whether friend or foe.
Levin is also arrogant and opinionated. He is also a man of conscience and honor, but I appreciate his political thinking.
If put in a room with Levin and Christie, I think I‘d learn more of value from Levin than Christie and I’d be willing to bet that Levin would have a conversation with me when Christie wouldn’t even see me.

You can find reason to praise and condemn almost anyone. If you stick to ISSUES rather than personal attacks, at least something is accomplished. IF Levin is supposedly one of the “good guys”…I think he strongly discredits whatever he is representing which totally defeats the purpose. It is HIS ego that needs to be assessed…..and his lack of control over his mouth when speaking publicly.
