Union Jokes About Governor's Death

The Bergen County Teachers Association head recently joked about wishing for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's death. In a memo the had the following "comical" prayer

"Dear Lord this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

The defense by the author of the memo is that it was a joke and not meant to be made public. Somehow, if this was a joke about the President's death, I think he would have a different opinion.
