The intrepid Gubernator Chris Christy proved the Bridge to Nowhere theory about a year ago.
'He' shut down one bridge. The George Washington Bridge at Fort Lee.
Now the Gubernator didn't personally order the closing. His office did. Sort of like Obama's daughters didn't build the healthcare website. Only the girls really didn't build the website using iPhones. Some one else in private industry, possibly with help from North Korea, neglected to perform their duties.
We should applaud the Gubernator's staff. They intended to screw things up for the residents of Fort Lee and the Mission Accomplished banner hangs over the N.J. capital today. Perfect backdrop for the massive I didn't do it and I don't know how it happened and 'Why can't we all just get along' speech by Christie.
Better than Nixon's Checkers Speech, Christie doesn't get any points for good speech writing. He had a year to prep.
Unlike Bridget Anne Kelly and David Wildstein whose spontaneous text message will be required reading in PoliSci classes for several days.
Here's a couple classic lines. "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," Bridget Anne Kelly.
When school buses were stuck, Wildstein chirped, "They are the children of Buono voters."
Ah, poor Barbara Buono. It's impossible to win an election without the power to close bridges.
Three heart attack victims painfully waited for EMTs while traffic delays ambulances. Ironic that Ms. Kelly texted one of her messages while attending a wake. Oh well. I guess she didn't cause the heart attacks.
Ironic the Gubernator's office started their political terrorism on ... 9/12. A day after the anniversary of the largest terror attack on U.S. soil. Same day as the Bengazi attacks.
Who knew.
My thanks to the NYT story.
