The ad was spotted on Christie's YouTube campaign site but was removed Sunday. (However, the ad can be viewed here on the Huffington Post's Site)
In the ad, Christie attacks Gov. Jon Corzine using a scene from the "Monty Python's Flying Circus" TV Show.
In the Huffington Post's atricle Monty Python's Terry Jones says, "It is totally outrageous that a former US Attorney knows so little about the law that he thinks he can rip off people. On the other hand -- another of Bush's legal appointees was Alberto Gonzales and he didn't seem to know much about the law either."
