If Christie's claim of ignorance was right, isn't that fairly damning in itself?

If traffic was snarled that badly for that long, I can only assume the situation would be common knowledge to people in the area.

And as Governor, wouldn't one think somehow it would come to his attention, even in passing?

One would think that it was something of a story on the news. "Gosh traffic is really bad on the entrances to the George Washing bridge."

Or that somewhere in the course of his daily rounds, someone would have mentioned it to him at least?

Was he really that disengaged from events in his state that he was not aware of a major problem for constituients in a highly populated section iof a small state?

Seems like that would have been a common question by now.
