Well at least Bridget Kelly looks like a nice person (warning graphic pix)

[Botany]

************

Now who could think such a sweet person could take part in doing something so nasty?

BTW I don't buy the Kelly acted w/out Christie's knowledge and or approval story. Although
she does have the I don't "rat out" my friends mob look to her.


Kelly: "so whats in this deal for me and my family?"
Christie Lawyer: "you'll be taken care of"
Kelly: "I want $1 million in my Cayman account, $500 per day I do in the joint, $10,000
per month in cash to my sister for my kids, my house paid off and all the upkeep done
too ..... or I'll start singing all about "Big Chris" and how he was in on this deal from the
jump."
Christie Lawyer: "done deal"

1. dumbo dont look too happy either

[Frustratedlady]

2. Or, "Got it!"

That old dog in the green shirt is sure checking her out.

[Eleanors38]

3. Looks like she got outgunned in a farting contest.

[rocktivity]

4. Here they are in a more "relaxed" moment

rocktivity

[JoePhilly]

28. Sure, she's showing Christie the "Naughty and Nice" list!

[bettyellen]

5. Love you B, but I could go forever without hearing about any woman in politics "looks" here….

got fed up with that crap when it was Hillary and Palin getting this kind of *totally pointless* attention.
Seriously. Not how we should be judging people.

[Botany]

6. this has nothing to do with her sex at all ....

.... that person just looks nasty ..... end of story.

[bettyellen]

7. you probably didn't notice how frequent this was with Palin or Hillary back in the day.

but it was a very pointless and endless distraction, one that Mc Caine or Obama really didn't have to deal with to any extent. When you are a working woman, to be honest, you don;t want to hear this crap. At all. Because it has nothin to do with nothin.

[Botany]

9. Of course I have noticed the sexism and good old boy network in politics .....

... even in the democratic party*. But my posting of Ms. K's pix had to do with the
fact in those pix she looks like a nasty piece of work ..... granted it might just be
those pix but if you can be part of shutting down the busiest bridge in the world
for the reason that you want to make millions of people suffer for some kind of
political reason AKA "we can screw with you" then you very well might be a nasty
piece of work and it doesn't matter if you are male or female, black or white, straight
or gay, young or old, a D or R, or whatever because then you might very well have
a nasty streak about your personality.

* I saw it first hand when a friend of mine was running for the US senate in OH.

[bettyellen]

12. But you didn't notice it here at DU? I did, it was frequent,,,, and it hit way to close to home.

Remembering how I'd overhear these kind of evaluations of my looks in the workplace for most of my career.
She is too pretty to be serious/ a boss/ take seriously. And when I'd be dealing with serious stuff, lighten up, smile!! - you're too pretty to worry about X… etc, etc. Same thing.

[G_j]

13. it looks like they are dealing with the aftermath of Sandy

can't expect a lot of smiles.

(Though I would think that anyone working for him, would have to be a bit mean spirited to fit the job.)

[Botany]

16. If it was Sandy then it would be before the storm hit

n/t

[Botany]

18. This was not Hurricane Sandy and the very day she and Wildstein were making up their ...

... cover story.

20. No - check out my photo

Yesterday's 2,000 documents showed that she received a text about the scandal while walking with him during the aftermath of the fire. Her face and his say trouble - what is more he has a phone in Botany's OP photos but does not have one in his hand when she's receiving that text in mine. I thought it might be her phone but that is still in her hand.

[roguevalley]

14. her expression is the 'look' being discussed, not her body. Her hateful expression is fair game to

me

[bettyellen]

15. and someone countered it with a prettier picture. so let's talk about her many moods and see

where that goes. I remember someone here calling Palin a whore for wearing red shoes. And no one but me called them on it. It's fucked up to se that here. Been there, had this kind of attention myself.

[FSogol]

8. That's the expression I would have if I was standing next to Christie. n/t

[gollygee]

10. She looks cold and uncomfortable

[Whisp]

11. we are not to judge people by their appearance

didn't you get the memo?

[skypilot]

17. It kinda looks...

...as though this picture could have been taken a second after she caught that guy with the plaid shirt looking at her breasts.

[malaise]

19. The importance of your photo is that she received a text about the scandal and

attempted coverup in the middle of this walk.
Please notice that in your photo Christie has some tech instrument in his hand which he did not have in my photo.

He fucking knew and the fact that his incoming Reginia Chief of Staff knew is all we need to know.
Hubris is one hell of a thing.



He may actually be reading the text from her phone - come on DU sleuths

[marions ghost]

21. Hubris

"I'll never get caught" -- always brings em down.

Narcissists seeking "opportunity" like flies to a carcass.

[malaise]

22. Check this out

http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2014/01/christie-kelly-and-the-bridge-scandal-if-the-photos-are-just-slighty-more-complex/

Note that according to documents from yesterday she received texts on the scandal during that boardwalk walk with Christie. He knew - just look at his face.

[marions ghost]

30. Another bridge story...

http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0032564/quotes



Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] "Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left."
Black Knight: "Yes I have."
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: "It's just a flesh wound."

[malaise]

40. ROFL

[Botany]

23. She is two feet from him and might have been texting the "cover story" to Wildstein ....

.... but the governor didn't know about it?

[malaise]

24. Notice the phone in his hand after the information comes in

He knew

Further - the cop is no longer with them -and they have stopped walking in yours. They look very worried

[Botany]

25. It is just speculation but it sure looks like Christie is holding the phone that ...

.... Kelly was just texting on. If the time of the texting Wildstein matches
the time she is walking next to the Governor then he is toast.

They might have been worried about the fire in that picture or maybe not.

[malaise]

32. I thought so at first but then I saw a phone in her hand

almost out of view

[Botany]

34. It gets better

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014694984

[malaise]

36. They're up shite creek without a paddle

They are first rate ReTHUGs - nasty, vindictive scumbags who care nothing about human life - power and greed.

Special session coming Thursday to continue to investigations - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[tridim]

29. I bet what they're both worried about is the photographer snapping these photos.

Knowing that the photographs will likely represent the exact moment that the whole plan began to unravel.

[malaise]

33. That's because the time of the walk and the arrival of one of the texts

coincide - he knew. Who are the other two men in Botany's photos - are they both security?

[marions ghost]

31. Seems to be a phone in her hand as well...

in the photo with him holding a phone. So maybe he's making some quick calls...

[madaboutharry]

26. They were watching a terrible fire burn down the historic boardwalk

and the air was filled with smoke and ash. I don't think the expression on their faces is relevant. What is relevant is the corruption in their souls.

[tridim]

27. She looks like a typical angry teabagger IMO.

I've never seen an image of her looking any different.

[pnwmom]

35. As a former Jerseyite and a female, I say give her a break on this point.

They're there because New Jersey's beloved boardwalk was suffering a terrible fire, while the state was still reeling from cleanup of the hurricane.

And why is a frown on a woman always treated differently than a frown on the face of a man? Are women supposed to look happy and perky no matter what kind of tragedy is in front of them?

How she LOOKS has nothing to do with her behavior in the bridge matter, as despicable as it was.

[Botany]

38. Those pictures were taken as she was texting Wildstein about a cover story of ...

.... a traffic study as to why the bridge was shut down. Now maybe she was sad
about the fire or maybe they are a picture of a person who can be really nasty.
Her sex has nothing to do with it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014694866

[pnwmom]

41. She looks like she was close to tears and I doubt that those emails had much to do with that.

She didn't realize then that the situation would eventually go spinning out of control.

But the fire was happening in front of her eyes, and it was a terrible loss, to everyone in New Jersey.

[malaise]

39. Did you miss the email released yesterday that ties the time of her walk with Christie to an

incoming text about the scandal?

That is why these photos are important

[pnwmom]

42. I read the email. I doubt that she would have looked that upset over them,

since she lacked a crystal ball.

I bet there were LOTS of similar things in the Christie administration, and she had no reason to suspect that this time everything would blow up in their faces.

OTOH, the fire was happening then and there, and she had every reason to be unhappy about it. Everyone in New Jersey felt the loss.

[TeeYiYi]

37. Hmmmm... I see what you mean...

TYY
