Paul Suggests ‘Beer Summit’ with Christie

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) “is ready to bury the hatchet” with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) “over the oldest of summits — a beer at the local pub,” the AP reports.

Said Paul: “Anytime he would like to come down and sit at a pub right around the corner from the Senate. We’ll have a beer.”

“When asked on his monthly call-in show Wednesday if he would be willing to have a drink with Paul, Christie said he is too busy to make it a priority but will ‘look him up’ if he is ever in Washington.”

Politico: “But the battle lines between the two men have been drawn in a more lasting way. More than anything else, what the firefight revealed was the extent to which Paul and Christie – two pols who have thrived on the appeal of their raw authenticity – have placed drastically different bets on the future of the Republican Party.”
