Governor Christie Bullying Accusations

s that surfaced Wednesday suggest top appointees of NJ Gov. Christie orchestrated traffic jams on the George Washington Bridge as part of a political vendetta to punish a local mayor who wouldn't support him at the polls. Lane closures leading to the country's busiest bridge snarled traffic for days in September in Fort Lee, New Jersey -- a problem the governor and his administration had originally blamed on a mishandled traffic study. In response to the firestorm, Christie said yesterday that he was misled by staff. He said he knew nothing about it. Critics say the s show how Christie creates an environment of bullying. One critic said, "There's something about this that's so petty and so vindictive and it feeds into this narrative that he's a bully.... He's going to have to find some way to defuse this to prove he doesn't run a shop like that.

In Other News Late last night Dennis Rodman released a statement apologizing for the bombastic outburst he had this week on CNN’s “New Day.” The eccentric basketball player was visiting North Korea to celebrate the birthday of leader Kim Jong Un, a man he calls a buddy. In an exclusive interview Tuesday with Chris Cuomo of CNN's "New Day," Rodman suggested that Kenneth Bae deserved his 15-year sentence, plus other outbursts. Rodman blamed his outbursts on stress and drinking and said he wanted to apologize. There may be a road rage killer on the loose, police are saying. A motorist shot and killed a man near the Maryland-Pennsylvania border over the weekend. Police believe that the shooter could strike again. Investigators believe that the same motorist may have been behind another road-rage shooting eight hours earlier in the same area. Luckily, no one was hurt in that incident. The victim in the earlier shooting was a 28-year-old resident of Maine who was driving home Saturday. The motorist, police said, chased the victim and drove aggressively, before shooting the victim. Marijuana prohibition laws are slowly going up in smoke. Another state is jumping into this reefer madness. An Alaska citizens' group is pushing to legalize recreational marijuana. If it is successful it would make Alaska the third state to do so after Colorado and Washington.
