governor christie with due deference to bruce springsteen. we call christie the boss.rday. he's the man of the hour. he's been everywhere. we make the case in our story that in a way, he represents what people were yearning for and didn't see in president obama when he was running for re-election. somebody who spoke candidly and bluntly, without a filter, who said what he felt and did what he thought was right. and that's what people are liking about chris christie. and, of course, the way he handled sandy was exemplary. and it showed something that you don't often or always see, a kind of emotional empathy and attachment to the people who are suffering. and i think people realized that and felt that and appreciated that. >> we've been talking about that on the show, about him being a real player. and i'm trying to figure out -- alex, where's his reaction to the cover, which we teased? because he doesn't like it, apparently. oh, on screen.
