"The Budget Crisis" : Chewing the Fat with Gov. Chris Christie

Mark Glickstein's dead-on impression of NJ Gov. Chris Christie's budget speech.
In 2010, NJ's new gov, Chris Christie, cut an unprecedented amount of money from the state's budget. Government workers across the state are up in arms on both sides of this issue. Education seems to be in a state of shock - getting hit the hardest by the cuts. Mark, a High School psychology teacher and actor, realized he looked like Christie and was getting asked to do impressions of him. With the help of his friend James, Mark made it his mission to satirize the bejesus out of this guy.
Many statistics in this are true or very close. And many lines or at least subjects are taken out of actual Christie speeches. Much of this is very real, the fat in Mark's over-sized suit jacket is fake.
