Gov’s sick of ancient Chris-tory

Irene wasn’t the only storm on Chris Christie’s mind.

New Jersey’s governor spoke about the hurricane yesterday — peppering his comments with a bunch of wisecracks about the times he’s been caught in swirling political firestorms.

He said his critics were goofy for criticizing his trip to Walt Disney World during last year’s monster blizzard.

“A lot of you were much more concerned that I wasn’t here for the blizzard than I was,” he told a press conference. “The people of New Jersey, the overall majority, didn’t care much, either.”

Even so, Christie said he’s had a hard time living down his trip to the Magic Kingdom, which magically keeps appearing in stories.

Speaking about a planned helicopter tour to survey Irene’s damage, he quipped, “My son will not be playing any baseball, so we won’t be landing anyplace to watch him play.”

Christie was chided 10 weeks ago for using a taxpayer-funded state helicopter for him and his wife to travel to his son Andrew’s baseball game.

After the game, the chopper flew him to Princeton for a meeting with Iowans who want him to run for president.

“I have some visitors from Iowa here to help me assess the storm damage,” Christie joked, “and we’re adding some New Hampshire people, as well.”
