A personal injury lawyer from Fort Lee, New Jersey, filed the case in federal court on behalf of six local residents who missed work or suffered other alleged damages due to the traffic jam last September. Many more people could join the plaintiffs if the court allows the case to become a class action.

“....if Fast and Furious, wiretapping the press, IRS scandal and Benghazi aren’t enough to peak the interest of the press, then nothing will be....”
.
These items only interest the MSM in that it will try to whitewash them for the sake of the Obama administration.
The US news media is mostly an arm of the Democrat Party.
By careful use of Christie’s behavior - assuming they can’t pin anything on him, and the slick, lying, way Obama has ignored all his scandals and THEIR failure to expose them.
WOW!!
She is HOT!!!
however, I won’t be a water boy for the left on this issue. closing a entrance lanes to a bridge is peanuts, compared to what this zero Prez has done and will do.. .peanuts....
CORRECT.
The NEXT scandal SHOULD be the amount of attention the media and the left have focused on a bridge closing as compared to Obama’s escapades.
This isn’t just one street. The George Washington Bridge is a BIG thing back there.
That’s true. None the less every governor has a full calendar of events they must stick to. They generally work long hours filled with meeting after meeting, event after event, and matters they have to study when there is time to.
So yes, that bridge is a big deal, and yes it may have been on the news, and yes it’s possible that it didn’t hit Christie’s attention until much later than it would the general public’s.
Does it really make sense to you that Christie, a man considered to be a possible presidential contender, would risk it all on a road closure to get even?
What took place doesn’t pass the sniff test. I’ll grant you that.
What they’re proposing he did, doesn’t pass the sniff test for me either.

No. That’s why I can’t understand it.
Thanks ZULU.
I agree. It will be interesting to watch play out.
Meanwhile, so many more dangerous scandals go lacking for any interest from the media.
Just the way Christie took on the press and answered questions until there were no more, has Obama done that once on any issue? No. But then the press doesn’t have more than one question on an issue from him, so I guess you could say he has stood there until all questions were answered in a manner of speaking.
Of course the FoxNews rep has a muzzle on.
If Christie were a statesman, which is what’s needed for the next GOP pres candidate, He’d use the attention and say, yeah, my people did this, it’s what we do here to keep things running, you all know that. You want me to resign over it? Fine. But you media worms need to be doing your jobs and reporting on the real scandals. Start with Amnesty, then Benghazi, then F&F etc.
That’s what he should do. But he won’t. And that’s why the media will get out ahead and pulverize him for their leader.
These guys can either snivel and try to please the media and lose every time, or stand up for the Constitution and the rule of law and win
If you work on the clock and missed an hour or two of work you might have a claim for 25 bucks. What a crock.
I go through Fort Lee every time I visit my daughter.
Named for Charles Lee - the traitorous “American” general. Appropriate.
Just so I understand what happened, Governor Christie had the IRS Close the Benghazi Bridge?
No. Christie had the IRS and Benghazi for breakfast on the George Washington Bridge.
Doesn't make sense to me either, D1. Especially if it was over a Rat Mayor's refusal to endorse a Pubbie for Governor. Christie has better political instincts than that. This sounds like maturity problems in his staff, and managers usually get the benefit of the doubt if it's a one-off thing by underlings (as long as heads roll, as they did in this case).
But when a pattern of abuse of regular people presents, it's another story. I don't see that here. He can be a bit of a bully, but it's the press that's annoyed over that because he doesn't take any crap from them.
And leaked to the press by Cuomo’s boy at the Port Authority. Again, the people pay in trauma and dollars for political feuding. Politicians are in a bubble and don’t care about the people they are supposed to be serving.
One very peripheral lesson to be learned from this is that traffic is a serious concern. Shutting just three lanes from the south, out of twelve, caused four-hour delays. That is why we pay so much attention to traffic in a monster metropolitan area and have professionals in charge of it. A two-bit political aide is not likely to have a grasp of the issue.
As I said, peripheral. Possibly worth bearing in mind, in the sense of they had no idea what they were doing.
Agree. How does it even “punish” the guy they are after? And punishment is such a juvenile concept anyway.
Talk about grandstanding ambulance chasing lawyers! Must be related to Chuckie Schumer. This one should get thrown out on motion as frivolous, and the lawyer sanctioned. With disbarment.
Before this scandal no one in New Jersey was ever late for work because of a traffic jam. Ever.
