The last few weeks, it's been hard to turn on the TV without seeing Chris Christie plugging his new book. I kept hearing in my head that little earworm that was once placed there by a Hanna-Barbera cartoon: "He's here / He's there / He's everywhere / So beware!" And speaking of cartoons, I was afraid to turn on a rerun of my old Garfield & Friends show for fear he'd had himself edited into an episode.
But he was all over, doing his little act where he denounces Donald Trump, then says he might vote for him next time because Trump's definitely gonna run, then he walks that back and says Trump might not…then Christie says he hasn't decided about entering the race but argues against the notion that he won't. The guy's on all sides of every issue and, as Eric Boehlert notes, his book and comeback tour are flopping big-time.
