Gov. Christie was elected by the people to do a job. Also, he was a trained Prosecutor experiencing many battles in court. A hot day, he's speacking and an ignorant reporter tries twice to over-step his directions. Some of the preceding comments are either personal attacts against the Gov. or "namby-pamby" quips from those who couldn't control a kindergarten classroom. The Gov. was insulted---sometimes like a judge is on the bench. He had every right to call the reporter out for what he "chose" to be--an idiot and "stupid". Dudge

Greta, it must only be in your mind that it was insulting. To your average person it was no big deal, tough love needs to kick in at some point in a persons life. That reporters time was then!
Alfred Berutti - 12 years ago
Shame on you Greta, you offered no context. What was the subject of the newsconference? What was the nature of the question posed by the reporter vs. the purpose of the meeting? Without such background how can a decision on the appropriateness of Christies remark be evaluated?

And tell me again why he won't run for President, DANG we need him in the White House. TELL IT LIKE IT IS!!!

Another thing, did you notice that even after the gov. called him out for being off topic, the guy proceeds to try and ask the same stupid question a second time.
Bob J - 12 years ago
NO he did not go too far!!! These cocky punk so-called "jounalists" think they're so dang important and think they're entitled to ask anything, no matter how off topic or rude. Thank you Gov. C for putting him in his place.
Gawd I really like Chris Christie. What a political breath of fresh air he is. Many of us in this liberal cesspool of a state I live in would love to have him as our gov.
Loraine Ellison - 12 years ago
He could have just walked away, not even acknowledge the reporter. I like the Governor but this comment sounded like bullying to me and not an example for anyone to follow.
Lea - 12 years ago
Gov. Christie was Not Wrong in calling the reporter stupid and an idiot. After all, the reporter Did stray from Topic. Everyone knows [by now] that Gov. Christie is a "No Nonsense" kind of guy. So it should come as No Surprise when Gov. Christi calls a stupid/idiot exactly what they are. The mainstream media has been "getting away" with "stupidity/ignorance/rudeness and disrespect[Except when it comes to Obama, their Saviour]..... It's High Time they get called out for it.... Maybe when they are Dressed Down in front of America, they'll Learn to act accordingly.
Hats Off To You, Gov. Christie!
Dave in MD - 12 years ago
Obama asked for sevility and then continued to bash everything that angered him. Then he ignored the lefts attacks on conservative women. Christy needs not to appoligize or recant his statement. I love it! Allways a good show Greta! Thanks!!!!!
I've admired Gov. Christie and appreciate his ability to tell it like he sees it. However, I think he crosses the line when he calls a reporter out for doing what reporters usually do (try to get an answer that may not be on the topic at hand) using the words "stupid" and "idiot." It is beneath his position as Governor. It sometimes appears he enjoys turning a public Q&A into a "bully pulpit." Makes me begin to question his true character.
Patricia Vizzoni - 12 years ago
I generally like Gov. Christie. His colorful language is a change from the ordinary. But as time goes by, it seems he always stoops to bullying tactics to address his frustrations with people. Some think he is saying it like it is, but there are more civilized ways of expressing displeasure at someone's misbehavior. It seems like Gov. Christie hasn't learned this, yet. A polite, well worded rebuke can be far more effective than resorting to name calling. If the Governor has higher political aspirations, he really needs to act like a grown up.
Dolores Aguirre Johnston - 12 years ago
This is in response to "Steve"..."Christie is a total Wanker ! Wish he had been the GOP candidate ! Would be a cakewalk for Obama"
Steve,
I have news for you, Republicans are happy to have someone like Christie with a backbone and a freshness, we have not seen in politics since the late Senator Barry Goldwater.
Go ahead, vote for Obama. My health insurance has already gone up.
Obama is his worst enemy.
Kati Calahan - 12 years ago
If Gov. Christie were the person I had once hoped - and actually thought - he was, he would handle these types of things with greater effect in a more intelligent, less "stupid" way. I always heard a truly intelligent person has a vocabulary that negates the need to use curse words. I believe the same can be applied to behaviour - true intelligence - and class - would achieve the desired results differently - and set a good example for others at the same time. I am not only disappointed in Gov. Christie, but getting very tired of his childish outbursts. There is way too much of that everywhere these days, in my opinion. Thank you for the opportunity to vent.
By the way, your show is one I try very hard not to miss. Excellent, it is.
Angela - 12 years ago
You Go Gov. Christi!!!!! He could never go to far as far I am concerned ... He is the one we need in the White House to kick some serious butt !!!!!!!! We need Obama OUT ASAP!!!

I am sick of the mainstream press and the direction they are trying to take the country. They cloak themselves with the freedom of the press banner to push their agenda. About time someone stood up to them. It doesn't happen enough in my opinion.
Fred - 12 years ago
The 99% liberal dishonest media is a cancer on our country. The sooner our media can be taught to report all the news accurately the sooner our country will be able to make the right decisions and crawl out from under this Socialist/Marxist nightmare. Gov Christie obviously knows that and is working the problem. YES!!!!
vicky fox - 12 years ago
I glad he can stand up to the media. If the reporter didn't understand staying on the topic maybe he had better go back to grade school until he understand directions.
Ric - 12 years ago
Where was the "insult?" What am I missing? It occurs to me that Gov Christie made it clear that he would entertain questions relevant to the event, and he drove that point home in his rebuke of that reporter - who clearly had his own agenda. Unfortunately for him, he had to be taken to the woodshed- publicly- and now understands that there is only one agenda on the table: Gov Christie's. Journalism 101.
Peter - 12 years ago
Firm yes, but rude no. He lost his composure and personally insulted someone he probably knew little about, which makes him look like an irrational idiot. I lost a lot of respect for him. I don't want leaders who are disrespectful or mean to others. It's not neccessary and undermines respect.
TBiondie - 12 years ago
It's refreshing to see a conservative elected official not let the lame street media try and control things after they were told that only questions about the subject at hand were to be asked. It's about time other elected officials do the same and quit letting the media get away with what they want.
Billie - 12 years ago
There is such a thing as manners and decorum. Christie can be outspoken without being rude. It would have been simple just to say, "please stay on topic" then go on to the next person. The terms stupid and idiot that were BOTH used was not necessary. To call a person stupid is a personal attack equal to calling Christie a fat tub of lard
sharon - 12 years ago
I agree that the media is obnoxious and rude but Gov. Christie just lowered his own image by calling names. As a public figure, he should demonstrate more restraint and dignity. Our society is growing more and more rude and coarse. It's difficult to respect people who choose to express themselves publicly that way.
Pete Marr - 12 years ago
I am a total conservative and agree with Christie's general politics. However, he is really the idiot. Does he think he is cool with all of his smart-alec responses. Being blunt and to the point is one thing. Christie's high and mighty attitude is more than I can stand. I certainly hope that Romney doesn't pick him for No.2.

Governor Christie has a "back-bone" that every conservative leader needs to develop! The Governor is very obviously not a game playing lair, but says it like it is! We don't have to second guess what he means because he makes himself clear from the start. How totally refreshing!
I think gov christie was spot on. He is one guy that doesn't spin. He says what he feels and he seems an honest guy....not something most politician have a clue about. Christie is a breath of fresh air!
L Reynolds - 12 years ago
I don't think he was obligated to answer the question; however, I don't think you have to be so
boisterous. It reminds me of our present administration. We wonder what has happened to our younger generation......well, this is it. They watch our governors, congressmen and even our President act arrogant and smart mouthed. Our country is going to the dogs. And we have so many to blame. I am definitely in the minority in this poll.

The governor is probably right but he needs to be less crass about it. He holds a very public position and does need to show some class.
Ron Conklin - 12 years ago
He went to far when he used the word "stupid". He could have just as easily said something like: "I believe we need keep your questions on topic like I stated. Please keep them on topic. If you have one that doesn't fall into that category, leave it with my secretary and someone will get back to you."

Dolores Aguirre Johnston - 12 years ago
Some of the questions many of the reporters in the media ask very, very silly and stupid questions, and sometimes they don't make sense. I am so glad there is finally someone who calls it like it is.
Thank you to the Governor for his no nonsense approach to dealing with the press.
Jan Drews - 12 years ago
Good for him. I like his honesty and telling it like it is. Would like to see more politicians with a backbone!!! No "double talk" with him.
Jonathan Barg - 12 years ago
The "media" in general is held in such low regard that I approve of the Governor administering a dope slap to this numbskull. If he told the assembled media to keep the questions on topic, this cub reported from some community college deserved what he got. Instead of a major scoop, he got a paddling and sent home with no dinner. Bravo. Lawyers, used car salesmen, reporters?

Gov. Christie was elected by the people to do a job. Also, he was a trained Prosecutor experiencing many battles in court. A hot day, he's speacking and an ignorant reporter tries twice to over-step his directions. Some of the preceding comments are either personal attacts against the Gov. or "namby-pamby" quips from those who couldn't control a kindergarten classroom. The Gov. was insulted---sometimes like a judge is on the bench. He had every right to call the reporter out for what he "chose" to be--an idiot and "stupid". Dudge
