That Girl retweetledi

Apparently the Democrat Socialist wing of NJ electeds & @GovSherrillNJ mistook the World Cup for the world’s largest charity benefit.
While they gnash their teeth and continue to fire off "strongly-worded letters" and statements over the shocking revelation that @FIFAWorldCup - a gigantic corporate global sports empire - is acting EXACTLY like a gigantic corporate global sports empire, the jokes keep writing themselves.
New York wanted the World Cup prestige. New Jersey gets the traffic, transit chaos, security costs, infrastructure burden & taxpayer-funded BS. Who knew?
Then, somehow this fiasco gets EVEN better.
The “NY/NJ” Host Committee - chaired by former @FirstLadyNJ Tammy Murphy- refuses repeated requests to appear before the NJ Legislature and answer the most basic fiscal and logistical questions. Meanwhile, the same political gaggle that helped woo this entire mess in (with tens of millions in taxpayer-funded advertising, transportation logistics, infrastructure commitments, and political bravado), now appears shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you - that FIFA cares about money, VIP treatment, branding, premium ticket pricing & NY optics. Imagine that?
I'm sorry - what did these people think this was? A church raffle with soccer nets???
And now the grand finale: the "joint" Host Committee is apparently perfectly fine with NEW YORK residents getting the 1,000 discounted $50 World Cup tickets, while the people in the state actually HOSTING the games - NEW JERSEY - get UGATZ.
I'll say this - old habits die hard. It's gonna be a long road ahead trying to wipe off the residue of @GovMurphy's "Stronger, Fairer New Jersey".
