Yep. The smoking gun seen.
The mystery of who closed two lanes onto the George Washington Bridge  turning the borough of Fort Lee, N.J., into a parking lot for four days in September  exploded into a full-bore political scandal for Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday. Emails and texts revealed that a top aide had ordered the closings to punish the townÂs mayor after he did not endorse the governor for re-election.
ÂTime for some traffic problems in Fort Lee, Bridget Anne Kelly, a deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, emailed David Wildstein, a high school friend of the governor who worked at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the bridge. NY Times link:

Umm ...
This behavior is not representative of me or my administration in any way ...
No? Because I seem to remember you turning down a federally-funded tunnel project. Seems like fucking with commuters to make a political point is precisely representative of your administration.

Since this excuse is patently laughable, why is it that
so many are crying?
Because his supporters cannot see his frequent lies?
Because they see his lies--but it's OK because he's Our Liar?
Because so many are so frequently unable to detect lying (nor faux-facts)--are thus unarmed
when Rush, Fox et al are preaching (and are thus proven incapable of committing-Reason, at all?)
All of the above? (or have I missed a significant/better rationale for the National MInd-quicksand?)
BECAUSE, SomeHow.. there needs soon to exist: a brilliant analysis of the Stupid-virus before it snuffs so many collective-grey-cells that the organism dies from breathing Nitrous Oxide instead of Oxygen.

I think it's a big helping of B: He's *our* liar
Just like Bush was *their* useful idiot, right up until he became a not-true Scotsman.

OK.. then it's just simple Corruption?/movie every hour. :-/
(Nobody seems aware of a viable method for un-corruption.) So, we're [still..] doomed.

it is New Joisey and all that entails
although they haven't reached the true heights of a louisiana and Huey Long doesn't mean they are not trying. He could always run for governor of Illinois if they get tired of him there.

..... because he's Our Liar?
Sometimes you just get accustomed to stuff...
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
Stephen Crane, In The Desert, 1895

Re: ..... because he's Our Liar?
Perhaps resist becoming inured....?
(via another Crane)
We make our meek adjustments,
Contented with such random consolations
As the wind deposits
In slithered and too ample pockets.
For we can still love the world, who find
A famished kitten on the step, and know
Recesses for it from the fury of the street,
Or warm torn elbow coverts.

Re: Yep. The smoking gun seen.
I read somewhere that someone died in an ambulance stuck in the traffic.
If substantiated, this is going to go Very Bad.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense.
(I tried to watch the clip this morning, but didn't have the time.)
This probably explains why so much of the e-mails have been redacted - they don't want evidence pointing to those institutions. Easier to leave in mentions of the Major and Ft. Lee and let people draw their own conclusions.
Cheers,
Scott.

Whoosh!
The comment about the NJ Dem Senate "animals" who would grill his buddy's wife was on *the day prior* the to the staffer's email for the need for traffic grief in Ft Lee. The NJ Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg represents in Ft. Lee.
[ed] not sure where she lives, but she represents Ft Lee
