On March 18, 1990, two men dressed as police officers walked into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole 13 masterpieces right off the walls. The theft remains unsolved. The thieves, however, left almost 2,500 priceless pieces of art behind. So what's the big deal about a Rembrandt or two? Let's ask Former Federal Prosecutor Chris Christie! Today spoke to him about Melania Trump's speech last night:

"Nah. Not when 93 percent of the speech is completely different than Michelle Obama's speech."

Only my boundless Christian charity prevents me from using the phrase "glutton for punishment" in this context. But I am concerned that, by the time the Trump people are through with him, Christie's going to look like Cleopatra the trapeze artist at the end of Freaks.
