During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, (click here) former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani took aim at New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, for not cutting his Disney World vacation short when the Garden State was hit by a massive snowstorm during the holiday season.
"Chris should've come back," said Giuliani of the recent trip. "I mean, if he asked me my advice, I would've said 'They elected you governor, they've got an emergency, they expect you to be there.'"
He added, "You know, you've got to be there if you're a governor, a mayor, or even a president, if it's important enough."
Giuliani, who is reportedly making moves for a possible 2012 presidential run, is by no means the first to criticize Christie over his decision to remain in the Sunshine State....
One would expect it from Christie's detractors, but, when Giuliani punted for Jeb Bush, that was a different dynamic completely. People just don't pay attention.
Blood brothers. Yessa.

A liberal group (click here) is going after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) for vacationing in Disney World during a blizzard that paralyzed his state with snow.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) e-mailed its 19,000 New Jersey members Thursday urging them to start a viral Internet campaign against the nationally popular GOP governor.
"Partying with Mickey Mouse while serious incidents are happening back home isn't leadership. This is just the latest time that Christie has left the state at a critical moment — putting his own interests above New Jersey's," the PCCC co-founder Adam Green wrote.
Christie's opponents are looking to keep the heat up on him even after his office pushed back against criticism over the timing of his family vacation....
Regardless of how regressive Jeb Bush is, the plan has always been him and Rubio in 2016. Get used to it. They want to take the Hispanic vote by storm. Jeb is married to a Hispanic, Columba Bush and she would be the first Latina as First Lady. That for the community would be enough or so they think. Then add the next in line for the power seat is a Hispanic would be the frosting on the cake. These are long laid plans, no one is going to derail them. The only question remaining is how does Governor Scott repeat the performance of 2000 without Jeb in the Governor's seat?
Christie never had a chance and now he'll be in the company of a Columbian with mob connections. I wish him a lot of luck, he should have remembered who his friends really are and it's ain't the Koch brothers.
Last night, O'Reilly was off and that woman was hosting. They were running into the ground big time.
