Private messages between Governor’s Christie’s deputy chief of staff and two of his top executives at the Port Authority reveal a vindictive effort to create “traffic problems in Fort Lee” by shutting lanes to the George Washington Bridge and apparent pleasure at the resulting gridlock.There is no shortage of stories from New Jersey that have chronicled that Christie has a skin thinner than the cell wall of a red blood corpuscle. He's got a reputation of being quick to take offense at the most trivial of slights and eager to have revenge for any perceived slights.
The messages are replete with references and insults to Fort Lee’s mayor, who had failed to endorse Christie for re-election and they chronicle how local officials tried to reach the Port Authority in a vain effort to eliminate the paralyzing gridlock that overwhelmed his town of 35,000 which sits in the shadow of the bridge, the world’s busiest. ... “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” Bridget Anne Kelly, one of three deputies on Christie’s senior staff, wrote to David Wildstein, a top Christie executive at the Port Authority, on Aug. 13, about three weeks before the closures.
Christie is a modern version of Richard Nixon, both men who should instead have had careers as the stunners in a slaughterhouse.
