A late-to-the-party TV reporter tried to get another whack at the border-way story between Gov. Dannel Malloy and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the Republican darling.
During the usual news conference after the State Bond Commission this morning, Malloy told reporters gathered in the Atrium at the Legislative Office Building that he wasn’t going to fan the flames.
Asked to comment, yet again, Malloy said “I suppose I’m the anti-Christie…Next.”
Later: “Listen…I like New Jersey. Wonderful place. Used to go to the Shore. Played a lot of rugby in New Jersey. Played a lot of rugby in Montclair. Their governor has to be their governor. I have to be the governor here. Let me assure you, when everything is said and done our taxes will be substantiallylower than New Jersey.”
Reporter: “So this is going to be Trump versus Rosie O’Donnell now?”
Malloy: “No…no…no….well wait a minute…” the governor gave his best impression of the old classic dead-pan comedian Jack Benny.
