A Bridge Too Far
Posted on January 9, 2014
Cris Christie needs a bigger shovel. And a deeper bucket. Team Christie doesnt seem to understand damage control, as the larger-than-life NJ Governor continues his flippant attitude toward the very real and very damaging scandal thats rising around his cankles. Famous for his plain talk and outspoken comments that gave him the reputation of being a no-nonsense kind of leader desperately needed in the dying GOP, Christies recent handling of the bridge scandal in his office may well spell political doom for the once-favored presidential nominee.
It all started with some stereotypically Jersey petty political back-stabbing. The Christie Crew doesnt like Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich because the Democratic mayor didnt endorse Christie in the last campaign. So they decided it was payback time. Now, the mafia proper wouldve just stuck a dead horses head in Sokolichs bed. But instead, one of Christies top aides decided to tie up traffic on a the George Washington bridge, so everyone gets to suffer! Heres a sample of the email exchange that burned Christies political bridge:
Officials involved in the scandal, whose identities have been redacted, mock Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich's concern over the traffic. Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono, Christie's opponent in his reelection campaign, is referenced in the final line of the exchange.
Citizens missed work, kids missed school, ambulances couldnt pass. Isnt this fun!? This is how the Washington Post explained it:
Democrats have accused Christie and his Port Authority appointees of closing access lanes from Fort Lee, N.J., to the heavily trafficked George Washington Bridge for several days in September as retribution for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich not endorsing Christies 2013 reelection campaign. The closures created severe traffic problems.
Christie has said he didnt believe his office wasnt involved in the closures. But text messages and e-mails show Christies deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, sent an e-mail to top Port Authority official David Wildstein that said: Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.
Wildstein responded to Kellys e-mail: Got it.
The Christie administration has said the lane closures were part of a study to see whether bridge traffic flowed better with the access lanes closed. It has said the study was conducted solely by the Port Authority. Christie himself has said the situation is not that big a deal.
The e-mails were first reported by the Bergen Record. The George Washington Bridge is the most heavily trafficked bridge in the world.
Kellys e-mail, from her personal account to Wildsteins personal account, is dated Aug. 13. The lane closures started Sept. 9.
In the intervening period, Kelly and Wildstein continued to exchange e-mails about Fort Lee. On Sept. 6, Wildstein told Kelly that they were ready to do this and that the governors office should inform another mayor that it had approved $60,000 for a traffic study.
Wildstein appears to recognize the dicey nature of his move. After the lane closures concluded, he shared a newspaper article questioning the reason for the closures and later wrote: I had empty boxes to take to work today, just in case.
So this top aide knew he was playing a dangerous game, but we are to believe that Christie was completely oblivious to the whole scheme? If thats true, is he fit to govern if he cannot control the juvenile (but dangerous) pranks perpetrated by his own merry band of morons? And if he really believes his own staffs lame cover story about a bridge traffic study, then why the outrage now?
Worse, in discussions with the press about the vengeful act, Christie comes across as a Soprano-style bully, not a potential presidential candidate.

(43,853 posts)who endorsed him. One guy's been spamming DU with "They did it because they feared retribution!!" as if cowardice in the face of a bully is a positive thing.
cal04
(41,505 posts)that endorsed him? They don't have too much common sense. That's ridiculous
He is everything we are teaching the kids in school not to be

(41,505 posts)they are explaining that those who endorsed him were scared to death of him. I don't care if he's in the Mafia!
Not buying it and if they were so scared, they should have gotten together to fight him, just like they're telling the kids in school what to do with a bully

(43,853 posts)Cowardice in the face of a bully is shameful to most people, but some people think it's awesome.
