There almost was a fuck in the GOP national convention

[EmperorScorpious]

[quote](CNN) - New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a top campaign surrogate for former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, threatened to say "fuck" during his live, prime time convention speech last August, according to an upcoming book by The Washington Post's Dan Balz.

The title, "Collision 2012," details a tense moment when the director of the Republican National Convention ordered his crew to cut an introduction video for Christie just minutes before he was set to take the stage.

Christie had been deliberate in preparing for the big night and went through 16 drafts of his speech, Balz writes. As he waited for Ann Romney to finish her remarks, organizers grew concerned that the night was getting too long and networks would cut them off at 11 p.m. before it was over. That's when Christie was told a three-minute video about him would be scratched due to time constraints.

The outspoken governor, Balz writes, thought the video set up his speech and insisted that they reconsider. A member of the production team told the director that Christie demanded the video go on as scheduled, but the director again said he was nixing it.[/quote]

"Christie told her to ask the director if he had ever heard anyone say 'f***' on live television, because that's what he was about to do if the video didn't run."

"big fat baby" is kind of implied in the description of "US conservative"

I thought they're called conservatives to conserve their virginity though.
