Just under an hour ago, NJ Gov. Chris Christie (aka “Christie the Hutt”) departed Westwood in a State Police helicopter. A small group of onlookers at Berkeley Field gave Christie a quiet sendoff.

Good thing Westwood has too many baseball fields.

Word on the street is that Christie was visiting Berkeley School to highlight a back-to-school strategy utilized by Westwood after last week’s big hurricane.

Below are some pictures and a video of Christie departing Berkeley Field by State Police helicopter. They say that TV adds some weight to a person. In this case, Christie really is that big.

The storm was almost a week ago, and things are not even close to normal.

We were all there, but here are a few pictures of the aftermath around Westwood.
