Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, turned up at a fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial nominee Chris Christie tonight.
“He was invited by one of the host committee members,” said Christie spokeswoman Maria Comella.
The host committee member reached out to Bush directly and did not check with the Christie campaign.
Comella did not know whether Bush donated any money at and would not name the host committee member who invited him. She also could not say whether Bush had any other business in the region.
Gov. Jon Corzine has spent millions of dollars reminding voters that Christie – who was appointed U.S. Attorney by President Bush in 2001 – was a major fundraiser for Bush’s 2000 campaign, earning the honorary title of “Pioneer.”
In a November, 2008 Quinnipiac University poll, President Bush had an 18% approval rating in New Jersey.
The Corzine camp – which last month played up the disclosure that Christie spoke with former Bush political point man Karl Rove about a potential run for governor -- did not pass up the opportunity to once again associate Christie with Bush.
"Christie has vowed to do for New Jersey what George Bush did to the country, by embracing his massive tax cuts for big corporations that will force property taxes higher and drive us deeper into debt and deficit. If that’s the economics he embraces, it’s no surprise Christie is embracing Bush’s brother," said Corzine Communications Director Sean Darcy.

Has anyone else noticed
that an awful lot of articles have Christie and his spokespeople refusing to provide information or details when they are questioned? How is it people think he will be transparent when Governor if he never was as prosecutor and refuses to be as candidate?
LOL
Unfortunately, New Jersey voters should abandon any chance that Corzine will start talking about his own record and the details of what he plans to do to fix the economy (wasn't he claiming he was going to fix it four years ago? What happened to that?). His record is equal to crap and so this is why he keeps on making comments about Bush. lol
Oh well. Ya'll got a month and half to get used to saying "Governor Chris Christie" and "ex-Governor of New Jersey, Jon Corzine". Start practicing!
Unemployment jumped to 9.7% today in NJ
I can't believe he's still running those ads touting his "job creation."
Corzine has become a laughing stock.
I think by next week, Corzine will be asked to step down as the Dem candidate.
Thanks Matt for another
Thanks Politicker for another article written directly from the Corzine(D-Liar) press room. The shilling that this site has done for Camp Corzine probably has zero to do with the owner being thrown in jail by Christie or the amount of $$$ 'The Beard" has dumped into advertising on this site.
"Don't let facts get in the way"....Corzine '09
or the $$$$ Christie dumped in Bush campaigns
just another dumb move by Camp Christie to remind voters of the close ties that Pioneer Boi Chris had with the Bushes. We got in this big economic recession under WBush's watch. Pioneer Boi Christie donated a lot of fat campaign cash to that clown and now he wants to teabag us. no thanks.
