someone died because of it. If it was your family member would you feel that way?

Can someone help me understand how closing those lanes was political retribution or wtfever it's being claimed to be?

Close to 30,000 people die every year on the roads. Are you planning on carrying the banner for all of them? How many of those deaths are the cause of poor hiway and bridge maintenance?

The liberal media will keep the Christie story up front as long as possible.

I've just wrapped-up quite a bit of googling, I can't find anything that explains how shutting down the bridge lanes get even with the mayor for not endorsing the governor.

You should read the link you posted, it didn't name any groups that suffered other than the conservative groups

People have been screaming? He's a politician, he probably is lying, they all do. But he owned it, he apologized and fired someone in charge.

That bitch in charge of the Obamacare site is still in charge! Do you feel that any one that has done such a major fuck up should keep their job?

The only good news I can think of about this story is it knocked dennis rodman out of the news cycle.

I live in LA, I really don't care one fucking bit about a persons 3 hour commute when every time Obama comes to LA to campaign for more money, it fucks up the traffic here like a national disaster.

when you have a town that sits on one side of the worlds busiest bridge into the nations largest city - and you shut down the access to 1 single lane - you cause gridlock on a massive scale throughout the entire town - nearly every street was clogged and the whole city was paralyzed for 4 days (it's clear from the leaked transcripts that they intended it to go far beyond the 4 days)...that is about as bad as you could possibly fuck over a city/mayor.

apparently it took up to 4 hours for some people to get into NYC just a couple miles away - this is so dirty, so illegal, so petty...so STUPID that Christies political career is basically over - no way can he keep his henchmen gagged when they have already offered to turn on him for immunity...one more little revelation implicating him and he will lose any hope of higher office and most likely have to resign as Governor

That doesn't fuck over the mayor at all.

+ by all the latest news reports, as long as nothing definitive emerges connecting Christie directly to the bruhaha, his political career wil continue.

I just looked it up, that mayor isn't up for re-election for quite a while

I'm not seeing how tieing up traffic for a week would impact voting over a year later, not to mention guarantee anything. That's quite a leap in logic and political strategery imo.

not sure what your angle is that you want to deny reality on this... you one of those Fox programmed teapublican brainwash victims or something?

A mayors primary job is to keep his town running smoothly - first day of school and kids were in cars/buses 3-4 hours to get to school - the whole city of Fort Lee was jammed solid and nothing is more maddening that gridlock traffic - I can't think of many things that could fuck a mayor up more than this shit - he was calling and emailing and begging for an explanation from day one and their smug texts to each other proves they were enjoying letting the mayor twist in the wind google the "radio silence" quote - there was a calculated plot to cause mayhem in Fort Lee. One email exchange referred to Sokolich as the ?little Serbian? and ?an idiot.? Another called the schoolchildren stranded in buses ?the children of Buono voters.?

Any sane person can easily see Christie is lying through his fat fucking cheeks when he says he has no knowledge of this - his press conference was so full of holes and obvious half truths...he ordered the lanes closed and everyone knows it - the thought that his closest advisers conspired to do this crime on their own is laughable.

Yes his political career will continue IF he has sufficiently engendered loyalty from his henchmen for them to let their professional lives be ruined, their future job prospects non-existent, and they have the balls to sit under oath and either lie or plead the 5th - this is going to be very fun to see that cunt Kelley take the stand and protect her monstrous boss who just savaged her and threw her under a moving train.

I can just imagine the phone call he made to her on a burner phone "Listen Brigit, I know this sucks, I know it wasn't your idea Honey - but I need you to take one for the team right now - I need you to fall on your sword for me. And I promise when I become president in '16 and I WILL become President in '16 you will be right there by my side - Chief of Staff to the President of the United States..how does that sound. All you have to do is take the stand and plead the 5th baby..and we will get though this..otherwise it could be jail for you and me...:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm more than happy and quite capable of making this personal ,dipshit.


The simple fact is you are talking out of your ass.

Just think of the bridge going from 4 lanes down to 1 lane as a blackout that affects 3/4ths of your city, your private businesses, schools, everything. How much money does that equal?
Or just think of reports when there's a natural disaster when they talk about how much money it costs the city each day. That's how it was retribution; in the pocketbook.

I can certainly understand the revenue damage on the local economy, but that damage would impact Christie, he represents the area also. This seems more like schoolyard bully bullshit, especially with the sophmoric email chuckles being sent.

that too but I think it was entertainment for Christie and his Capos - they probably sat around watching the local Fort Lee news of the gridlock and laughed their asses off.

Whats really fucked up is that they planned it to go much longer than 4 days and were "appropriately going nuts" when someone opened up lanes...then they retaliated for that action:

Sept. 13. Wildstein email to Kelly, apparently after a Port Authority executive from New York discovered the lane closures and halted them: "The New York side gave Fort Lee back all three lanes this morning. We are appropriately going nuts. (Port Authority chairman David) Samson helping us to retaliate."

—Kelly: "What?"

—Wildstein: "Yes, unreal. Fixed now."


I wonder exactly how long they had planned for - at least a week, maybe more.

Now this Kelly chick - she could stand to make a great deal of money with a book deal - huge primetime interviews for big money will be offered to her...how much backbone she has to stay quiet will be very interesting to watch. She holds a potential presidents entire future in her little pinky...I say she cracks and goes for the money - hell Christie trashed her so bad yesterday she is now un-employable.

Hey Robbie,

Are you following this situation?...

It's pretty sick!

There is always more to the story...

Rachel Maddow is full of shit. She is the liberals version of Rush Limbaugh

next..

Facts are facts, regardless of who delivers them. :2 cents:

well, that certainly sums up my thinking that this wasn't retribution for not getting an endorsement- the fact that he sought endorsements from 100s of dems, many of which did not endorse him, yet none got their traffic blown up. As for her theory, she says no one knows, it's just a theory.

really? I think I have read here 100's of times where that is NOT the case. Maybe even thousands of times. I guess it's time to post a cartoon?

Pretty much just like when Obama visits LA campaigning for money donations at $15k a plate.

I was in Beverly Hills watching as they closed down one street for over an hour waiting for the potus to finish his breakfast

Chris Christie looks some what like an older, more Americanized Kim DotCom.

He even has his own "Mega" Conspiracy.

You must have me confused for someone that sits around their living room all day.
I am at my office now like I am most every other day or I am traveling to meet with customers. I don't watch fox news ever. At 10pm a few times a week I watch O'reilly for 20 minutes or until it evolves into a scream off.

You watch way more fox and television news than I ever have or ever will.

Actually, he shut down a few bridges, this is what his travel on the streets looks like

that's fuuny!

mosstly because it's propaganda

and this one needs those facts to be paid for by the Koch brothers to be real

Vendzilla, you are comparing a closure of streets and bridges for SECURITY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, to a couple of idiots who closed 3 lanes of the worlds busiest bridge for a week out of SPITE ?

Stop watching Fox News dude...it's killing your braincells.

Just his usual slight of hand smoke and mirrors topic shift about a Republican towards being more about Obama.

What about when Obama did this. What about when Obama did that.

Yawn.

This has nothing to do with Fox news and stop using that as an excuse for every little thing you have no fucking knowledge about.

The comparison has to do with how fucking bad the traffic is here and I'm suppose to get up in arms every time traffic is bad, fuck you!

Obama is the first president to ever fuck up traffic like this in LA

LOL!!!

Vendzilla my friend:

All presidential Motorcades, not just Obama's, will always cause traffic congestion. The routes are planned, sometimes announced in advance, and done to protect the president above all else. The city authorities are notified and the best is done to re route traffic where possible.

Chris Christie's office, fucked up traffic by partially closing the busiest bridge in the world, for no reason at all. They did it on purpose, and they even joked about it. They didn't tell anyone and played dumb. No one knew what was going on. That's your boy, a republican, fucking with the lives and livelyhood of the people of a city, for no reason at all.

I'm sorry Vendzilla me thinks thou does protest too much - you are really letting your unwavering love and trust of Fox News (and maybe other far right "news" outlets) show here. Only a person with seriously clouded judgement would ever compare these 2 events.

You read the communication between Baroni and Wilstein?

"TRENTON FEEDBACK"???

that looks like it could be a smoking gun right there - it seems to mean "Is the Governor happy"?

there are so many incriminating messages in there - I wonder if Christie read those transcripts fully prior to his press conference.

He made that marathon speech as a hail mary - he knew his career is effectively over - one shot, a long shot, but his only option - lie though his teeth and just pray all his subordinates keep their mouths shut.

Wildstein released those documents - and now hes asking for immunity for his cooperation - looks like hes going to be the first to roll - Chris Christie...been nice knowin ya :1orglaugh

No, I think it's funny living in California that you are complaining so much about a traffic jam. We get them here all the time!

Talking about a non issue, is this the running platform for 2016? Hilary completely fucks up all foreign policy and gets people killed in Begazi, but Christy caused a traffic jam, You are really reaching!!

I'm not republican, but Christy I figure is a problem for the GOP and the Democrats because he is willing to work with the other side and neither side can have that.

LOL, Funny

IRS gives liberal groups names of contributors to Conservative groups which they in turn harass and the president says he'll get to the bottom of it by assigning the task to one of his contributors and you think a traffic jam is more important, sorry, but that's fucking lame!

That's like saying Bush and his administration fucked up national security by ignoring Richard Clarke and in the process, gets everyone killed at the WTC and all them soldiers and civilians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Talk about reaching.

Sheesh.

Dude you are so broken - so morally and intellectually unhinged from reality - your false equivalence arguments utilize the most simplistic and nonsensical grade school logic...your Fox News poisoned mind is warped to the point where I actually feel sorry for you.

There was no Bengazi scandal - there was no IRS scandal- the IT problems with heathcare.gov were just that - simple IT problems that were quickly and easily fixed - you right wing smear guys want SO BAD for Obama to fall into a scandal but there has never been one..except by the fabrications of Ailes and Murdock.

You are so clinging to reality by a cunt hair Vendzilla - your reality is programmed into you by some rich fat white men who make a lot of money selling lies to fat dumb guys like you. You want to think of this REAL SCANDAL as just a "Traffic Jam" - then you are just proving what brainless worm you are- like you do in all of your posts - this "Traffic Jam" was an assault on a city - massive abuse of power, and illegal denial of free Gov services for personal political revenge - read the emails and texts...it was a fun game to these people to cause large scale inconvenience and frustration and loss of income to thousands of people...and they were PISSED when they were unable to make it continue beyond the 4th day...

Wake up and smell a real scandal when its in front of your face and stop the school girl false equivalence "Well he did worse!" boo hoo
