Chaz Bono 65 lbs weight loss: I really like what I see
The left's "flirtation" with Chris Christie is over, the New York Times' Michael M. Grynbaum wrote of the New Jersey governor's appearance on Thursday night's "Daily Show." It began with lighthearted banter about Bruce Springsteen -- "We would both very much like Bruce Springsteen to hug us" -- but turned into an occasionally touchy discussion about whether Christie's acceptance of federal assistance during Hurricane Sandy didn't mesh with his conservative politics.
Christie: What it tells me is that people have different skill sets at different times.
Stewart: So he wasn't a leader until you needed leadership.
Maybe until he was presented with a stark opportunity to lead.
Stewart then asked how Christie could welcome federal aid during a statewide crisis, but reject legislation for a state health care exchange.
Christie: Not having a state-based exchange is not the equivalent of not having coverage, because you could have a partnership or a federal exchange.
But Christie still got in a few jokes between tense moments:
Christie: I think it's really unfair that you look at me and say starved at the same time.
Comedy Central posted the interview in three parts, but most of the meaty conversation takes place in part 2. Watch below:
