Chris Christie

So how bout that Chris Christie? Governor of New Jersey is now being investigated due to a lane closure that happened back in September. People originally accused Christie of causing the lane closure in Fort Lee because the Democratic Mayor there did not support his campaign. Initially this accusation seems ludicrous; suggesting that Christie, who had a 24 point lead in the polls, would retaliate on one mayor for not supporting him. But emails between members of Christie's administration are quoted saying "get ready for a lane closure in Fort Lee" hours before the event. But really cares about a lane closure in some city you've never heard of in the state of New Jersey? The problem was that it caused a FOUR DAY traffic jam and on the George Washington bridge which spans the Hudson River and serves as a major commuter route between New York and New Jersey. As of now, Christie claims to not know of the plans of the two members of his administration before it was revealed to the public. Before this incident, I thought of Christie as a pretty decent guy, one of the few non-corrupt politicians. Hopefully he is not guilty of such a dumb ploy at revenge and that it doesn't effect his chances for the 2016 presidential nomination. But these are just hopes and it looks as though some people are already talking about impeaching him. Jon Stewart of Comedy Central recently bashed Governor Christie on his show, The Daily Show: With Jon Stewart.
