Christie! What a fucker! He "wouldn't have made a joke about the

bridge closing IF HE THOUGHT ANY MEMBER OF HIS STAFF WAS INVOLVED"

THIS is the reason? So dear Du'ers lets think about this....it was OK for the bridge to be closed as long as he thought his staff wasn't involved.

This presser is very revealing. When he joked about the bridge being closed he never said one word about his constituents, was dismissive because SE HE NEVER THOUGHT HIS STAFF WAS INVOLVED??

Yikes! What a fucker. He didn't care the bridge was closed, right from the beginning. Never mind who gave the order.

I bet he doesn't realize what he just revealed about himself in that statement.

I hope the MSM is all over it after the press conference.

(If you believe it's true) was that he personally was lied to. Not the original events or what happened (or could have happened) to Fort Lee.

"I wouldn't have made a joke about the bridge closing IF (I) THOUGHT ANY MEMBER OF (MY) STAFF WAS INVOLVED"

There is your 2016 political ad. Run it again and again and again and again and again and again.

Hey Christie, the bridge is YOUR KATRINA!

The Mayor of Fort Lee said no one answered his plea's for help. It wasn't just one day but almost a week that the Bridge lanes were closed.
