Star Ledger ^ | 1/8/14 | Brent Johnson

The controversial lane closures at the George Washington Bridge last September delayed emergency responders from attending to at least four medical situations in Fort Lee — including helping a 91-year-old woman who lay unconscious and later died, according to a report by The Record.

Democrats have long accused Republican Gov. Chris Christie of ordering the lane closures as political retribution for Fort Lee's Democratic mayor refusing to endorse his re-election bid last year. Today, newly unveiled e-mails show that one of Christie's top aides knew about the closures in advance. The governor himself has denied being involved and today issued a statement admonishing the aide.

Well I’m sorry for her and all those others impacted by this debacle but there is a silver lining.

Christie is probably out of the 2016 election for POTUS.

He also needs to resign as Chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association immediately.

Seems like there is a case for negligent homicide for whoever is responsible. Seems like Christie would have had to known.

I have zero doubt that he was unaware. I also have zero doubt a portion of the right will come to his defense. Perhaps not right now, but the excuses WILL begin once the immediate fervor settles down.

And once again ‘lesser evil’ will be trotted out over fear of Clinton.

I cannot stand RINO Christie, but, where are the liberal socialist demanding an investigation into the Obumbum Administration using the IRS to attack the Tea Party Americans who dared to file applications for nonprofit status for the 2013 elections?

The hypocrisy of the liberal socialist continues. In just another note for discussion, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but, I smell the NSA in this timed scandal, maybe leaking specific emails of the Christie administration to the liberal socialist NYT?

This is what all Americans are in for, the socialist attacking any candidate from the Tea Party while giving a pass to their socialist like Hitlery who is directly responsible for the terrorist attack on American sovereign soil (Embassy) and killing of four (4) Americans!

Be prepared!

To clarify, I believe he knew damn well. Whether he ordered it, I dunno. But nothing happens in Jersey without orders from on high.

What a lying, vindictive creep (by all appearances) is Mister Christie.

I worry when the Dems agree w me, but this time? Ummm... okay.

Dear Mister Christie:

Congratulations on becoming "TRICKY CHRIS"!

Toodles.

As much as I can’t stand this guy, the response times were within 7 minutes to 9 minutes.
