Chris Christie Kicked Off Amtrak Quiet Car For Talking On His Phone

Chris Christie is reminiscent of Leona The Queen of Mean Helmsley when she said that taxes and rules are only for the little people.

It appears that Chris was breaking the rules of etiquette by talking on his cell phone on an Amtrak car that was designated a quiet car.

After about 10 minutes of running his mouth, the presidential hopeful was asked by the conductor to please get off the phone. Naturally Christi ignored the guy. Finally he got up and went into the cafe car where they serve food and booze.

Apparently Chris is a little perturbed that he is slipping in the polls and has been on edge lately. Nothing a few capicola sandwiches and a couple of glass of Chianti would not cure.

According to a fellow rider (and hero) who wrote in to Gawker:

He got on last minute yelling at his two secret service agents I think because of a seat mixup, sat down and immediately started making phone calls on the quiet car. After about 10 minutes the conductor asked him to stop or go to another car. He got up and walked out again yelling at his secret service. He was drinking a McDonald’s strawberry smoothie.

As the old saying goes that may apply in this case; it is always nice to be important but it is always more important to be nice!!  Got it Chris??? Write that down on your sandwich wrapper so you don’t forget it.
