I hope the previous post, concerning his behavior at a 9/11 memorial ceremony, didn't jinx Governor Soprano:
New York Daily News: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie...is being blamed for another traffic jam...caus(ing) a block-long backup outside Ground Zero just before Friday mornings 9/11 anniversary ceremony when he wouldnt get out of his black SUV because he was on the phone...
As a result, Christies car was left idling in a strategic staging area, turning a carefully planned dignitary rollout into a 20-minute backup that left some VIPs and two busloads of family members of NYPD 9/11 victims in the lurch...Fed up, some family members, including a few elderly participants, got off their buses down the block and walked to the staging area.
Christies...Spokesman Kevin Roberts...called the allegations just not true...He spent about five minutes in the car finishing a phone call before we moved on into the memorial...Everyone arrived on time and the program started on time.

Well, what's a fifteen-minute descrepency between friends, especially when you're in a security-sensitive area on a day memorializing security INsensitivity? There are more important matters to attend to!

Didn't Christie just fantasize about beating a woman and then serving her with a subpoena?
