He blew out the candles on his cake, and he wished for another cake,'" Christie read. "And this one I thought, I don’t know if this is one of your best ones, but I think it’s very topical given what went on yesterday. 'A billion dollars will be spent on potato chips for Super Bowl Sunday, and that’s just at Governor Christie’s house.'" Less »
