BERKELEY TOWNSHIP -- People hoping to visit Island Beach State Park this holiday weekend were not allowed in because of the state government shutdown Gov. Chris Christie ordered amid the state budget standoff in Trenton.

But there was one family there: Christie's. They are using the summer beach house provided by the state for a weekend down the Shore.

Well, that's one way to keep the Greenpeace people from constantly pushing him back into the water...

That is one way to get some privacy from the hoards of little people cluttering up the beach. 

An unnamed source (a beach house quest of Gov Christi) told reporters when he found out New Jerseyans had no place to sun themselves this holiday the Gov said to his wife:  "Qu'ils mangent de la meatloaf'."

Come on. He wasn't vacationing.  He was just looking for Solo and the Wookie.

This governor began his regime of 'go to hell' by leaving the state prior to a massive snowstorm that crippled the state from end to end.  Now he's leaving with another 'go to hell' by shutting down the gov. for the 4th. holiday.

Chris Christie is roasted in hilarious memes after pictures emerge of him and his family lounging on beach that he closed off to the public

    Chris Christie was spotted on Sunday sunning himself with his family on a New Jersey beach
    But that beach and all other state-run parks and beaches had been closed to public amid budget shutdown
    Christie then came under fire from tweeters who turned him into a top-trending meme online

I see lefties are captioning the photos "Capitalism".

Govt that shuts down public property which is then treated as private property by a govt official is a perfect example of the corruption that takes place in communist nations.

With only 12, maybe 13 people in the 'beach party'? If he was a real capitalist, he'd have a more extensive 'guest list' (for five figure 'donations').

What a tone deaf idiot.

He figured his career is over after being humiliated by trump repeatedly. Not a bad assessment frankly.

And now he gives not a single bleep.

This actually can be directly related to Soviet era Russia where only politburo members and those with the proper connections to politicians were able to go to many of the beaches and resorts.

This a beach that is not open to the general public.  It's a private beach associated with the private summer home that is part of the Governor's residences.  The other is Drumthwacket.......(LOL)
He threatened that all the workers might not be paid for the days of the shutdown.........hah.........they WILL be paid but the cost to the beach towns is incalculable.......What a pathetic excuse for a governor.
He was elected because Corzine was so hated.   The second election, the dems put up a know nothing woman candidate who garnered hardly any votes at all.

@Rivergirl

The two people running this November are so bad I don't know what to do.

For the first time in my life, I honestly don't know what to do.

Maybe, but he's going to have the enmity of every vendor who caters to the beach biz, everyone who wanted to go dunk the rug rats or lay out in the sun.

This is as smart as dynamiting a beached whale, and it hits people in one of two places: their wallets or their playtime. Either will cause the sort of deep seated resentment that no person in politics ever wants to own.

So much negativity.

He's not soaking up sun. He's producing shade.  :beer:
