Chris Christie Slams ‘Know-Nothing, Disgruntled’ Romney Staffers

"I told Governor Romney at that time that if the storm landed as predicted that it was going to be catastrophic to New Jersey and unprecedented," Christie said. "I said to him, 'Listen, Mitt, if this storm hits the way I think it's going to, I'm off the campaign trail from here to Election Day.' And he said to me, 'Chris, of course. That's what you have to do. Do your job, don't worry about me. I'll take care of things.' So all this other noise, I think, is coming from know-nothing, disgruntled Romney staffers who, you know, don't like the fact that I said nice things about the President of the United States. Well, that's too bad for them."

Shill

A shill, plant, or stooge is a person who publicly helps a person or organization
without disclosing that he has a close relationship with that person or organization.
Shill typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that he
is an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) for whom he
is secretly working. The person or group who hires the shill is using crowd psychology,
to encourage other onlookers or audience members to purchase the goods or services
(or accept the ideas being marketed). Shills are often employed by professional marketing
campaigns. Plant and stooge more commonly refer to any person who is secretly in league
with another person or organization while pretending to be neutral or actually a part of
the organization he is planted in, such as a magician's audience, a political party, or
an intelligence organization
