Receipts Are For Little People!
New Jersey nobleman/governor Chris Christie has a quarter-million dollars of expenses that he has no receipts for, writes Mark Lagerkvist at Watchdog.org:
Details of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's $82,000 spending spree at NFL games remain a mystery - despite a release of expense account receipts by the governor's office.Receipts for Christie's purchases at New York Giants and Jets home games during the 2010 and 2011 seasons are missing from 597 pages of receipts New Jersey Watchdog obtained through an Open Public Records Act request.
The governor's office does not have documentation for more than $247,000 in expenses - two-thirds of the $360,000 Christie has spent from his state expense allowance since he took office in 2010, according to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis.
...As New Jersey Watchdog previously revealed, Christie's debit card was used 58 times during the 2010 and 2011 seasons to charge $82,594 to Delaware North Sportservice, operator of the food and beverage concessions at MetLife Stadium. The expenses did not include his free use of luxury boxes, traditionally available to governors at the state-owned venue.
To avoid embarrassment, Christie turned to the New Jersey Republican Committee. The committee reimbursed the state in early 2012 for Christie's bills at MetLife, plus additional charges the governor racked up at Izod Center. Since then, he has refrained from using his expense account at sporting venues.
This is in addition to his $175K-a-year salary.

That's a lot of hot dogs. (It shows, too...)

He needs to donate a cool half million to the Clinton Foundation so he and Bill can discuss "how to have your cake and eat it too financing tools".

If you don't want people to make "fat" jokes at your expense, don't spend $82,000 at stadium concession stands.
Cash, governor Christie, use cash.
