New Jersey Governor Chris Christie formed a political action committee to help in his potential run for president in 2016.
The name: Leadership Matters for America
The website: LedershipMattersForAmerica.org
The acronym: L.M.F.A.O., which is more commonly used for "Laugh My F------ A-- off."
(via Ilan Ben-Meir of Buzzfeed)
The New Jersey Democratic State Committee pointed out the unintended wordplay on Thursday, and used the blunder as a platform to criticize Christie on other fronts.
Of course, twitter trolling followed suit:
Chris Christie's PAC Has An Acronym That Describes His Politics Perfectly: LMFAO http://t.co/IW16GXw3sd

Chris Christie's LMFAO acronym is nothing. I once had to give a presentation on a program called the Process Improvement Software Solution.
