41. If this has legs Christie can kiss his political career goodbye

Fri Dec 13, 2013, 09:25 PM

Dec 2013

We have all been late because of traffic before and we all know how much it sucks to be stuck bumper to bumper, I have to deal with it every night as do many others. People are not going to take kindly to having their day wasted because of a petty political grudge. If it comes out that any emergency vehicles were delayed because of this he will be in even more trouble.

I had been seriously worried about him as a Presidential candidate, but if this is true he can kiss his presidential ambitions goodbye.
