Toro Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Whitney was mentioned in the WTF thread, but this bucket of shit deserves its own thread. NJ Governor lowers flags to half staff to honor Whitney Houston
Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 The guy does and says what he wants, that's for damn sure.
guineapigfury Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Seriously? I know it ended badly, but she sang THE BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM OF ALL TIME*. This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHmdu_I_0zI. There is no amount of crack rock induced drowning that can make that go away. * The only thing that even comes close is the tape they used to play in Army Theaters before the movie back in the 80s where the video had the tank crashing through the mud. If you're an Army Brat of my generation you know what I'm talking about. America, ###### Yeah. 1
brickhistory Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Politically harmless, probably beneficial to Christie as he takes on more of the entrenched NJ powers. Besides, there will most likely be some serious free munchies at the event:
Guest Grind Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Beat me to it Toro.. What a ######ing joke Thank God he stayed out of the Republican race. Edited February 16, 2012 by Grind
DirkDiggler Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Sad, but not really suprising. In today's day, it doesn't seem like any politician has any shame if there's some political gain involved. There's a flag in a compound in Bagram that isn't at half staff right now (hopefully) and thats the one I'm really concerned about, cause that means that none of the guys I support are going home in a box today.

Sierra Hotel Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I hear NJ is also going to have a candle light vigil.... (props to a friend who found this) 1
Guest one Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This is who we should be talking about... https://freedomremembered.com/index.php/lance-cpl-osbrany-montes-de-oca/ Notice that Lance Cpl. Osbrany Monte De Oca is from New Jersey.
HercDude Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 To be clear, the flag will be flown at half staff for him as well: https://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2012/02/gov_chris_christie_issues_executive_order_for_flags_to_be_flown_at_half-staff_for_fallen_north_arlin.html
FlyingBull Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Chris Christie is an asshole. He's also disgustingly fat which doesn't help either.
Guest one Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I know. He had to die for his country for that honor. All Whitney Houston had to do is take a lot of drugs and decide to take a bath instead of a shower.
Big Bear Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 To be clear, the flag will be flown at half staff for him as well: https://www.nj.com/be...orth_arlin.html Undoubtedly as an afterthought by Crisco Christie"Gov. Chris Christie issued an executive order Thursday afternoon calling for state flags to be flown at half-staff on Feb. 21 in honor of Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca." That's great and all, but I was under the impression that only the President could order the US Flag to be flown at half mast... Am I wrong?
HercDude Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Undoubtedly as an afterthought by Crisco Christie If you had bothered to read the article before offering your opinion on it: He said Wednesday that every fallen soldier from the state of New Jersey has received the honor during his administration. 1
Guest one Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) It is pretty standard for every state....That doesn't mean a crackhead deserves the same honor. It distracts from the times when people should take notice to our flag being at half staff. ETA: My signed Whitney Houston bath mats have never been more valuable. You will be seeing them on Ebay shortly. Edited February 17, 2012 by one
Guest Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 That's great and all, but I was under the impression that only the President could order the US Flag to be flown at half mast... Am I wrong? Yes, you are wrong.
TheGuardGuy Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 pissed this guy off... https://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/21/10466543-slain-soldiers-dad-burns-nj-flag-to-protest-houston-tribute?fb_ref=.T0PMJr9PtZs.like&fb_source=home_oneline
HeloDude Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 What a Douche Nozzle This and he also signed a 'DREAM Act' yesterday to benefit illegals in NJ. If I want to vote for a liberal, I'll just vote for Hillary instead...which means in 2016 if he's the nominee then I'll vote Libertarian like I did in 2012. We have the best politicians money can buy! 1
