There was a time not that long ago, and I know this will sound crazy but it's true, that Chris Christie was the rising star of Republican politics. He seemed destined for the presidency, or at least the top of the Republican ticket.

Since then, though? He's gotten embroiled in supremely dumb scandals, sure, but what really sets Christie scandals apart is the fact that they all seem like they were done by someone who watched way too many mob movies growing up. I mean, punishing disloyal politicians by closing bridge lanes to create traffic jams in their area? Closing state beaches down over the Fourth of July due to a budget crisis, and then going with his family to the otherwise abandoned beach? It's like he's trying to be the most embarrassing caricature of a guy who loved Tony Soprano too much.

And then you throw in the past year he's spent licking Donald Trump's boots, and you get the tale of how Chris Christie went from potential political superstar to this:

Yes, catching a foul ball should be a good moment for a politician. And on top of that, Christie makes an impressive catch! He even does that thing where he immediately turns to look for someone to give the ball to. This is textbook! And yet the response from Mets fans?

One day Christie may stop taking L's, but that day is not today.
