Quote of the day

"Clearly, I’m misunderstood. I’m really a very nice guy. I’m really only a 'maniac' about surf-fishing for striped bass, but there’s not a lot of time for that, so I like to spend my spare time sending nice missives to reporters or having ‘constructive’ conversations on the phone with them." - Christie Press Secretary Michael Drewniak
