Corzine Ad: Christie "Threw His Weight Around"
When a previous ad contained some not-so-flattering images of the rotund former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie (R), some speculated that Gov. Jon Corzine's (D) camp was playing the weight card. Now, there can be no doubt.
A tough new ad from the governor's re-election campaign includes the greatest hits of Christie's August woes, reports of unticketed driving infractions, and an unreported loan to a subordinate, where Chrisitie did not pay taxes on interest payments. The ad then alleges that Christie "threw his weight around" and "got off easy."
It dovetails with their message that Christie has "one set of rules for himself, another for everyone else." The full script is after the jump.
ANNCR: "If you drove the wrong way down a one-way street, causing an accident and putting the victim in a trauma center ... would you get away without a ticket? Chris Christie did. If you were caught speeding in an unregistered car -- would you get away without points? Chris Christie did. In both cases, Christie threw his weight around as US Attorney and got off easy. If you didn't pay your taxes, ignored ethics laws- would you get away with it? Chris Christie. One set of rules for himself. Another for everyone else
