Chris Christie is the first NJ governor in a lot of years to whisk away place of job with out breaking a leg

Broken-down Unique Jersey governor Chris Christie left place of job the day before today time with a in level of truth gruesome approval rating. On the bright aspect, he also left with two intact legs!

As Obama administration alum Eric Columbus pointed out on Twitter Tuesday, Christie is the first NJ governor in many years to whisk away place of job with out having broken a leg. We don’t point out within the « Spoil a leg! » metaphorical skill, both — we point out literally sustaining hurt to a bone.

In 1999, then-governor Christine Todd Whitman « broke every bones in her decrease enticing leg » whereas skiing in Switzerland. In 2004, Jim McGreevey broke his leg after a fall in Cape Can also, prompting days of untamed rumors and conspiracy theories. And in 2007, Jim Corzine broke his leg in a automobile atomize. (He also broke his sternum, collarbone, and a entire lot of ribs.)

« Due to the the universe is better, » Columbus pointed out, « the Democrats broke their left legs, and the Republican broke her enticing leg. »

And whereas Christie didn’t spoil a bone himself, he did shift that burden (classic!) to the worn lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno. She broke her wrist and elbow whereas riding a bicycle on the seaside in 2014.

So did Christie spoil the curse? Presumably. Nevertheless, given his notice file, we would smooth point out that incoming governor Phil Murphy steer clear of sports actions.

Take a look at out Columbus’s fat thread below.
