3. "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."

WOW! "They are the children of Buono voters." I thought it was Wildstein who wrote that.

A commenter at NJ.com uncovered 140 characters worth of irony from back in 2012:


"It seems Kelly attended the Tony Soprano School of Outreach. (Nice orderly traffic pattern you got here, would be a shame if something were to happen to it.)

The position provides her $140, 000 a year."

5. The Lane Closures Delayed EMS Response to 4 Calls in Fort Lee

Bridget Anne Kelly

"North Jersey.com has obtained a letter sent by

EMS coordinator Paul Favia to Mayor Mark Sokolich on September 10, 2013, noting four instances in which emergency medical services were delayed due to the lane closures. In two instances, response time doubled, including the case of a 91-year-old woman who lay unconscious for seven minutes, before paramedics were able to reach her ambulance. Heavy traffic prevented the paramedics from treating the woman on the scene, and she ultimately died of cardiac arrest after reaching the hospital.

Considering the woman's age, its seems doubtful that three and a half minutes would have meant the difference between life and death in this instance, but it may have. Regardless, the case illustrates the grave consequences Kelly's alleged conspiracy could have wrought."

It looks like she should go down.. commentator on fox in her future?

thanks for the article, SummerSnow

4. Summary

She has 4 kids, graduated in 1994 with a B.S. in Political Science from Mount Saint Mary's, tweeted that Enya was the only thing that made a two hour traffic jam tolerable, posted some inane comment and photo about a wine glass. No need to mention that she's a vicious political operative in the style of the old Nixon cronies of yore: Ehrlichman and Halderman.

5. There is No Way This Was Her Idea...

no Christie operatives do anything without clearing it with the top. This came from the Chief of Staff O'Dowd or former Chief of Staff and now Port Authority board member Rich Bagger (who may be the unidentified redacted e-mailer).

6. Christie gassed up the bus that Kelly is going to get thrown under by Thursday night. nt
