Oh, Chris Christie<\/strong>. If there’s anything Americans hate more than gridlock, it’s when the traffic problems are caused by a shady politician playing pathetic revenge games.<\/p>\n

Emails have emerged indicating that certain lanes of on the George Washing Bridge were closed in Fort Lee, NJ for no other purpose than to give Mayor Mark Sokolich<\/strong> a headache after the Democrat refused to endorse Republican Governor Christie for re-election.<\/p>\n

In addition to a nightmare commute on the first of school, reports indicate that a 91-year-old woman’s death may have been caused by rescue workers’ inability to get there in time because of the unnecessary traffic.<\/p>\n

While Christie is full of deep apologies and claims that this was done without his knowledge, Twitter is less forgiving. Fat jokes and the usual jabs at New Jersey abound.<\/p>\n
