See NJ Gov. Chris Christie & Newark Mayor Cory Booker Face Off in a Comical Seinfeld-Inspired Video Spoof
May 16, 2012
"Excuse me mayor, I got this."
Fans of the ever-popular sitcom "Seinfeld" likely recall the intense rivalry that existed between Jerry Seinfeld, the show's main character, and Newman, a man living in his apartment building. Channeling this same sentiment, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker appear in a video spoof that pokes fun at the mayor's heroics, while teasing Christie's vice-presidential possibilities.
In the comical clip, the Republican governor finds himself thwarted at do-gooding by Newark Mayor Cory Booker. The plot-line is clearly a play on the fact that the Democratic mayor, as The Blaze recently noted, faced real-life danger last month when he rescued a neighbor from a fire.
In the fictitious video scenario, Booker tells Christie "I got this" as he fixes the governor's flat tire, helps Bruce Springsteen replace a missing guitar and Tebows after catching a baby dropped from a state Capitol balcony before Christie's eyes.

The mayor-turned-superhero drives Christie bonkers. Each time Booker saves the day, Christie grits his teeth and says "Booker!" At another point in the video, the major is shown on a phone telling Mitt Romney he wouldn't make a good running mate. Christie grabs the receiver, saying: "Excuse me mayor, I got this."
The video played at Tuesday's New Jersey Press Association's Legislative Correspondents Club show. You can watch it for yourself, below:
