so it took people four hours to cross a bridge to Manhattan instead of the usual two. I hate to break it to Big Media in NY, but no one cares about the GWB outside of their bubble.

That bridge is the busiest in the country BECAUSE non-New Yorkers have to take it to get where they are going. NYC never built a beltway, so those of us going from Virginia to Connecticut also get stuck, including the truckers.

In any event, if Christie knew about it, or knowingly hired people who are capable of pulling these kinds of stunts for political payback, that is the real story. We already have that with Obama and Holder. I have contempt for someone who would purposefully make people suffer for petty revenge or political leverage. This is what Weicker in CT and Obama in the U.S. did when they didn't get their way on a budget. We have to be the party that doesn't hold an entire populace hostage.

VA to CT: NJ Turnpike to Garden State Parkway to I 287 across Tappan Zee. Depending on traffic, you can pick up I 287 earlier off the turnpike. The latter route adds a few miles, but it’s a pretty good alternative.
