When it comes to the VP auditions, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wants you to know, he's "got this."
In a new viral video audition tape, he joked about his chances of receiving that special call to duty from Mitt Romney with his comedic nemesis, Democratic Newark Mayor Cory Booker. The skit plays into Booker's legend as The Hero, saving citizens from burning building and shoveling sidewalks in the winter — both of which, like, actually happened in real life. After stealing the spotlight from the governor throughout most of the video, Christie finally gets his moment to shine when the Newark mayor tries to foil a VP offer from Romney.
"Governor, Governor Romney, yes, yes, that was me running into the fire. Yes, I do shovel snow as well. Yes, you're very persuasive. But I'm not a number two guy. I'm not background singer. Mitt, sir, with all due respect, I know you need a big…" Booker tells Romney on the phone.
"Excuse me mayor," Christie springs up to intervene. "I got this."
Too bad they didn’t release the tape earlier — James Lipton could have offered them a few pointers on their acting skills on our show.

Please pick Portman from Ohio to run as VP , because we no longer want him to represent us in the senate.
Hay Romney I have some T-party reps from GA that you can have for your VP. Hell take them all I'm sure you can find some use for them in your cabinet.
I wish Romney would pick someone, so I could start making fun of the both of them.
The suspence is killing me!
Mitt Romney is out of touch, a capitalistic csar.
He cuts the hair of a hippy, rides his dog upon the car.
He hasn't told us anything about his economic plan,
he only trashes Obama and lists the things he'll ban.
I hope he doesn't make it to the office at the top,
cause who would want a president with a continual flip-flop?
It's going to be Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania.
We need more humor to humanize people like that.
Who do you think did more damage to the catering truck on set while they were shooting that? Booker or Christie?
Is this post about the failing economic state in our country? About the high unemployment and even higher undremployment, the joke of an energy policy (or rather a lack of one) by this administration? The fiscal ruin still ahead of us with campaigning by a President running for reelection as his apparent limited attention span since Labor Day, 2011? The flagging defense posture of the US about to get worse if the deep cuts go forward in the Defense Department budget (if there even were a budget,which there hasn't been in the three years of the Obama administration?
Time to start dealing with the issues of importance MSNBC...and cut the crap!
