Never, Never screw with New Jersey Traffic

[bklyncowgirl]

I've been listening to local call in stations, reading comments on news sites; nobody, I mean nobody is defending Chris Christie.

This is New Jersey. We know in our guts that our politicians are crooks, I mean this is the state where when the FBI ended a corruption probe they had to hire Greyhound to haul in the suspects. We know they like to screw over their enemies and may be willing to forgive them for it if we happen to hate the target of their attentions ourselves.

There is one thing, however that unites people in this state and that is our hatred of traffic jams. Anyone whose gotten stuck at the on ramp to the George Washington Bridge--and that's pretty much anyone in this state is pissed. Democrat, Republican, Black, White, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Atheist people are outraged that a politician-even one they just voted in for a second term--would dare screw with traffic. It is one big rainbow coalition of outrage here in the Garden State, folks and for now it is a beautiful thing to see.

1. Soon there will be three vacant seats in the 2016 GOP ClownCar

Bridgeghazi is going to end Christie's WH aspirations.

2. Can Christie be recalled if he doesn't resign?

[bklyncowgirl]

4. He might be lynched before they can recall him.

25. This is Joisey.

We don't recall, we just fit them with cement shoes and poof, they are gone. Capisce?

26. I don't believe

It is in our state Constitution.

3. As a former Teaneck-ite,

Ex-Yankee fan and now Fingerlakes-er....
And still familiar with Rt 4, 9W and the Garden State Parkway ( I think)
HooooRaaay !!!!

6. I find mass public transit more relaxing in gridlock

At least I can totally tune out although being able to honk the horn and make obscene gestures at other drives has its consolations.

7. That was YOU???

Just kidding.

[bklyncowgirl]

8. Could've been, Loudsue. Could've been.

[babylonsister]

9. wOOt!

I shared this, hope it's okay. And recommend! This horror might turn into a good thing!

10. Waiting to see if the Christie radio station (101.5) can continue to extol him.

[bklyncowgirl]

11. The afternoon drive time show was trashing him big time.

So were most of the people calling in. It was a beautiful thing to hear.

13. If he's lost the bozos at 101.5, he's through.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Let's see what Bob has to say

This morning. If he's lost him - so goes Bob's fans.

12. And, for Excellent reasons.. people could die and time

is money. Most people need to make a living and they were screwing with their Bread and fucking butter.

Never mind that Bridget Anne Kelly wrote that the kids belonged to Buono Voters!

[bklyncowgirl]

15. I'll bet that many of those people stuck in traffic were Republicans.

No matter what your party affiliation if you can't get to work, you could be in trouble.

[Cha]

16. Exactly, bklyncowgirl. Not just getting to work but making vital appointments

that are important to your jobs. Lots of unnecessary worry and stress.. and for what?! So the ratfuckers could smile about the thought of Mayor Mark Sokolich ..

17. I doubt Republicans who lost business deals or jobs because of this are going to be forgiving.

Not to mention people who couldn't get emergency assistance.

20. Kelly's wrong in all respects. The majority of Fort Lee voted for Christie!

[Cha]

22. Wonder if they're rethinking that now? She

sure doesn't know much, does she?

[SunSeeker]

23. I'm guessing it's the last time Fort Lee will vote for Christie...

[UTUSN]

14. Just bwah-ha-HAH!1 n/t

[watoos]

18. First off a disclaimer, I don't watch Fox but

I had too see if they talked about Christie. Bad news for Christie, Megyn Kelly kinda threw him under the bridge. It looks like Christie isn't the guy who the establishment Repubs want as their nominee.

2nd, don't fuck with Rachel Maddow, wow what a takedown she put on Christie. I know Rand Paul still has scars too.

[Skittles]

19. excellent assessment, watoos

WOO!!

[NastyRiffraff]

21. giggle

cackle. hee hee. Haw. hee hee snort bwah bwah bwaha bwahaha bwahaHAHAHAHAHAHA snort gasp hee hahahahahahahahaha

Whew.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA pant snort

[Beacool]

24. Yep, that pretty much describes the state and this situation.

Don't mess with our traffic flow or we'll go Soprano on your ass.

[customerserviceguy]

28. It's already pre-screwed

It's such a mess, and that's with a recession. It will be unimaginable if we ever get to a full-employment economy.

My prediction: Unless there's a smoking gun directly tying Christie to this, he gets off scot-free by firing a half dozen people who it was proven did know about this, and especially the chain of command that ordered and executed it knowing it was the wrong thing to do. There's a whole culture of corruption in this area, and people around here know it, even if they carp about it from time to time.

[leftynyc]

29. I hear ya

I used to cross the GWB every work day and the thought that somebody stalled traffic for petty reasons will piss off everyone. Christie should be toast from this episode.

[gaspee]

30. Got stuck

On the approach to the GWB for 7 hours ( on the Jersey side) one Sunday night and vowed never, ever again. I live in New England and anytime I have to get through NYC now I take the Tappan Zee --- if I lived in Jersey or NYC and someone purposely f'ed up the traffic, I'd be ready to run them out of town on a rail.
