Bridgegate in Jersey --- drip --- drip --- DRIP!

[Bo-4]

The likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate had denied his staff played a role in the lane closures and even mocked reporters for asking about the issue when it emerged months ago. He said a traffic study prompted the closure.

But the emails tell a different story, potentially undercutting Christie’s reputation as a truth-teller who doesn’t play political games.

“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” Christie senior staffer Bridget Kelly wrote in an email to Port Authority official David Wildstein, a Christie ally, on Aug. 13, 2013, according to The Record newspaper.

“Got it,” Wildstein replied. The following month, two of the town’s lanes to the George Washington Bridge were closed, causing backups for a week that one local columnist described as a “disaster” that “quadruple[d] commuting time for some of the people who live closest to one of the nation’s busiest bridges.”

Because sane people think it's gravely wrong when a politician decides to gridlock a community for a week just because the mayor doesn't endorse him.

ASOT often shrugs off important political news as fluff .. and promptly graces us with a riveting top 10 ;-)

He's your best chance to win.. or he WAS at least Steve.

And yes, the only people who care about Benghazi are 30%-ers who won't vote for Hilly anyway.

Oh, you mean like Harry, Nancy and Barack did with the country with the shutdown all because the prezidunt refused to negotiate?

Pugs in Congress proudly tout their shutdown tactics, and Republican cultists still deny them.

It's quite amazing.

Maybe this will be the end of his presidential aspirations for ever and ever, Amen!

See, there's another vote Chris will never get. I've yet to find a male Christie supporter on PJ.

Pugs always hate their candidates til they get nominated, then they fall in love with them and vote for them, and then hate them again after they lose.

Even Pugs can't stomach the GOP cult leaders.

"The emails were released after state lawmakers issued subpoenas on the matter. A spokesman for the governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and many of his top aides were silent in response to emails Wednesday morning. A public event Christie had been scheduled to hold Wednesday morning was canceled, his office said."

Oh yeah. I'll go on record right now. If he gets the nomination, I will not vote for him. I learned my lesson with the last to republican nominees.

That's what Pugs ALWAYS say. And then they run out and vote for their GOP cult leader losers.

Yeah Al, Romney and McCain just weren't conservative enough. You should have gone with Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum!

Sen Rockefeller plans to hold hearings, too.

It's already at the level of his deputy chief of staff. They're hunkered down trying to figure out how to salvage things.
