Rand Paul comes up with alternative to beer with Christie
(CNN) - Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul says he's still interested in making amends with fellow possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate Gov. Chris Christie.
Paul was speaking to a radio station in the important caucus state of Iowa on Wednesday when the New Jersey governor came up: host Simon Conway of WHO radio proposed that the two men come onto his show.
"Absolutely, I've been trying to get him to go out for a beer with me," Paul said.
Paul on Christie: There's room for both of us
The two men have had an on again, off again public spat in recent months, with Paul criticizing Christie for "embracing" Obamacare by accepting Medicaid expansion in New Jersey and Christie in turn implying that Paul is too cerebral and not enough of a leader.
A couple of months ago Paul had tried to broker something of a truce by proposing the two men get a beer together but Christie, running for re-election at the time, said he was too busy.
Alternatively, Paul said Wednesday that "if there's a state fair we can go out for a fried Twinkie."
Christie - who has struggled with his weight and has been working on slimming down after lap band surgery early this year - has made a joke out of his love for confections.

So much for Southern charm.
Wow! Wonder if he'd be insulted if someone told him they had a sure cure for ugly?
"if there's a state fair we can go out for a fried Twinkie."

That was a low blow. But hey! Have at it. We're going to hear a bunch of fat jokes leading up to 2016. Lard butt has thick enough skin to take it.
The blood of a freshly slaughtered lamb?

How conservative of Paul to feel that way. First, on Election Night, Paul congratulates Christie on his re-election victory, and graciously "welcomes" Christie to the Republican Party. Now he says that he's willing to "make amends" with Christie, as if Christie has been the antagonist in the dispute. Paul is so phony that it's pathetic.
Poor Rant, he just "don't get no respect". Bouncing from one right wing show to another begging
Christie for a crumb of recognition.................more pitiful by the day.
Won't someone have a beer with Rand? Plagiarism is a lonely disease.
Rand had to take the shot. He doesn't have any friends, and doesn't take rejection well.
Thank God this clown went into politics and got out of the medical profession.

Wow. That was a fat jab if ever I heard one.
Very insensitive and insulting of Random Rand.
Must be that inate Republican't disconnect with their fellow human beings that keep Rand from realizing that he is cruisin' for a bruisin'.
What a little poop-head.

I know that's right!
LMAO!
" Rand Paul comes up with alternative to beer with Christie "
Oh, yeah:
Coke with Rep. Radel.
Rand can only be relevant through the self-invented controversies that he creates with others.
He has no light of his own, you see.
He can only be seen under the reflection of someone else's achievements or missteps, if he inserts himself into the picture fast enough that is.
Have a beer with Mitch, Rand?
