'Sass on a snow day': Chris Christie takes delicious swipe at 'The Newsroom'

Whoever’s behind the Twitter account named after the lead character on HBO’s snoozy “The Newsroom” is apparently annoyed by Chris Christie’s winter storm tweets:

If you have a snow day today, consider reading @GovChristie's snowday tweets. Better than The Price is Right.

— Will McAvoy (@WillMcAvoyACN) January 3, 2014

He was just asking for trouble — and Governor Christie gave it to him good:

.@WillMcAvoyACN Well, certainly better than The Newsroom

— Governor Christie (@GovChristie) January 3, 2014

Do we smell a burn?

Say what you will about Christie’s politics. The man’s got moxie.

Update:

“Will McAvoy” has tweeted a clarification:

For the record @TwitchyTeam: I was not annoyed with @GovChristie's snowday tweets. That was an honest compliment for the Governor.

— Will McAvoy (@WillMcAvoyACN) January 3, 2014

I really did, and still do find @GovChristie's tweets entertaining and somewhat endearing. (cc: @TwitchyTeam)

— Will McAvoy (@WillMcAvoyACN) January 3, 2014

OK. Fair enough, if that’s true. But that doesn’t mitigate the awesomeness of Gov. Christie’s pwnage.
