<snip>
Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, in his most extensive comments yet, said Governor Christie’s aides courted him for more than two years with gifts from the Port Authority to his town — like shuttle buses, pothole repairs and emergency radios — as well as a personal tour of the 9/11 Memorial in a effort to win his endorsement.

But when Sokolich did not volunteer his support, he says he was punished with paralyzing traffic jams on Fort Lee’s streets leading to the George Washington Bridge that were ordered by Christie’s appointees at the Port Authority during portions of five days last September.

You've been having WAY too much fun with Bridge(t)-Gate -- especially since you don't live in New Jersey!

but he made us listen to Obama in 2004 and told that same day that he would be the next Democratic President of the USofA.

He has already stuck the fork in Christie. I'm just waiting for 'checkmate'.

And yes - fun doesn't describe how I'm enjoying this crash and burn.

Imagine he knows nothing about the email about Wildstein, but he disavowed Wildstein in the two hour press conference, so no one in their right mind believes this latest crap.
Michael Daley from the Daily Beat just tore him a new one on Alex di Twit
Christie is history.
