We don't normally spend a lot of time defending Chris Christie....

But when Caribou Barbie starts calling Christie a "rookie" and saying he's "making rookie mistakes" over his criticism of Newt Gingrich on behalf of his new BFF Mittens Romney we feel the need to clarify some things for Mrs. Palin.

First off Moosealini, you QUIT halfway through your term. Up and quit when the going got tough. Say what you want about Chris Christie but he doesn't run from a fight or a challenge. Then to say of our Governor, no doubt trying to make a bodily comparison, "Well, you kind of get your panties in a wad..." we get it Sarah. We see what you're TRYING to accomplish. If someone had said this about you, you'd be on the Hannity show complaining you're a victim of sexism.

Next off Sarah, while you were a drag on the 2008 GOP ticket, Chris Christie would be a plus. Here are a few of your "rookie mistakes" Mrs. Palin and think next time you---er wait, nevermind...

*Earning your family the name 'The Wasilla Hillbillies' -- Perhaps the most dangerous allegation for Palin are reports in The New York Times and Newsweek that when she was urged by McCain adviser Nicole Wallace to buy three suits for the Republican convention and three suits for the campaign trail, she went on the now-infamous shopping spree at swank stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. There is one comment in particular from a McCain aide that guaranteed to heighten friction between the two camps. The angry aide described the Palin family shopping spree to Newsweek as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast."

*Despite warnings from the McCain camp taking a phone call from French President Nicholas Sarkozy which turned out to be a radio station prank.

*Not knowing Africa is a continent

*Not knowing which three North American nations are in NAFTA.

*Demanding to make your OWN concession speech Nov. 4, 2008

*When asked what the Vice President does (Remember she's now running for this office) said "[T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom."

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.....Governor Christie, yes, we are thankful you're not this bimbo eruption.
