LMAO at Chris Christie and his Bridge Scandal

[Minimalist]

What a pathetic little shit he turned out to be!

On Wednesday morning, the Bergen Record reported on private e-mails sent between Christie deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly and David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority, that make quite clear that Kelly ordered the closure of some of the lanes to the George Washington Bridge as an attempt to make life more difficult for Mark Sokolich, the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, N.J. “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” Kelly wrote to Wildstein in an e-mail just weeks before the closures began.

As the Record's Shawn Boburg writes:

The documents obtained by The Record raise serious doubts about months of claims by the Christie administration that the September closures of local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge were part of a traffic study initiated solely by the Port Authority. Instead, they show that one of the governor’s top aides was deeply involved in the decision to choke off the borough’s access to the bridge, and they provide the strongest indication yet that it was part of a politically-motivated vendetta — a notion that Christie has publicly denied.

I'm old enough to remember Spiro Agnew...another GOP piece of shit that even Nixon couldn't stand. That guy was taking bribes in the White House.

You're vice-president, but you're still getting your 5 percent kickback on Maryland construction contracts. You can't exactly go to some seedy bar to pick up your payments, and the kick-backers can't exactly write a check. What to do? According to the FBI, you just have the contractors come to your White House office and hand over the wads of cash. Classy.

And Jon Stewart had to get in on it!

Of course he had to! I get all my reliable info from the Daily Show!

I just got a headline update on my phone from CNN: "Gov. Chris Christie to take apology tour on the road."

What. The. Fuck?? Apology Tour? Is this actually a thing, or is CNN trolling me?

I'd be curious to know what this stunt cost in terms of dollars in lost productivity.

I will venture a guess that this puts the last nail in the coffin of Christie's presidential ambitions. He had enough trouble with the right wing of his party as it was. Now this? So much for the "moderate" hopeful. The good news is we can definitely look forward to another GOP primary season dominated by crazy, fire-spewing mouth breathers.

And last night, Stephen Colbert got in on it.

Christie should just say, as his defense, that the closing of the bridge was vital to national security because [redacted].

Christie's people seem to be too stupid to shred the evidence.

Officials loyal to Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey went to elaborate lengths to make it appear that the September closing of lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge was part of a traffic study, even though their private communications suggest the move was purely political, according to documents released on Friday.

Do you hear that sound?

That's the sound of Hillary taking the oath of office. Jersey the Hutt was the only one with half a chance of stopping her.

I'm concerned that if this makes Christie non-viable as a candidate, then one of the crazy Republicans has a chance. Clinton is hated on the right and there may be an 'ObamaCare' backlash. Those two things open the door for a Republican win.

One can only hope that the Republican ticket is too batshit crazy to get elected.
