With her eye on the governorship, Kim Guadagno is running from her boss as fast as she can.<\/b>
\nNew Jersey\u2019s lieutenant governor Kim Guadagno called out her boss on Monday for sunning his thighs on a New Jersey state beach that was closed to the public. Calling Christie\u2019s decision \u201cbeyond words, \u201d Guadagno continued her months-long mission to distance herself from the historically unpopular Christie as she positions herself to succeed him in Trenton.
Guadagno\u2019s criticism of Christie came shortly after he entered day two of damage control for visiting the beach and then lying about it to reporters. On Sunday, after he was photographed sitting in a beach chair with his family, Christie told reporters that he \u201cdidn\u2019 t get any sun today.\u201d Then this photo was published.
On Monday morning, Christie defended himself while appearing on Fox 5 . \u201cThe governor is allowed to go to his residences, and I\u2019 m at my residences, \u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019 ll tell you this: I said last Monday, a week ago today, that no matter what happens, we were coming here as a family this weekend\u2026 This is one of the places we live.\u201d
Then he mocked the Star-Ledger for publishing the photo on its front page: \u201cWhat a great bit of journalism by the Star-Ledger. They actually caught a politician being where he said he was going to be with the people he said he was going to be with: his wife and children and their friends. I\u2019 m sure they will get a Pulitzer for this one.\u201d
Later Monday, Christie\u2019s spokesman Brian Murray appeared on MSNBC and admitted that the governor was on the beach for 45 minutes. Was that enough for him to get some sun? \u201cI will let you decide, \u201d Murray said.
Meanwhile, on the New Jersey beaches that are open this weekend, the near-universal disapproval of Governor Christie was on display in the skies.<\/p>\n
