Sarah Palin says New Jersey Governor got his 'panties in a wad'

New York, Jan 24 (ANI): Sarah Palin has said that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie got his "panties in a wad" when he called Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich an "embarrassment" to the Party.

Christie, a supporter of Mitt Romney, ripped Gingrich after he trounced Romney in the South Carolina primary.

"Sometimes if your candidate loses ... you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things that you regret later," the New York Daily News quoted Palin as saying on the Fox Business Network.

"And I think that's what Chris Christie did," she said.alling it a "rookie mistake," the former Alaska governor said his "response to what the media was asking him was reflective of a lack of self-discipline."

"He's been in office a year or two is all, and he'll learn that the media goad you," Palin said while talking of Christie.

"They want you to say things like that in order to boost ratings and make it more of a reality show-type scenario that we're watching in the GOP primary," she said. (ANI)
