Governor Christie, pack your bags, it's time for you to go...

Sure, a small blog in Jersey City calling for Christie to leave won't have much impact but Johnny is sure as hell going to use his freedom of speech today.

Governor, it's time for you to pack your bags and leave the Trenton state house. What you do after or if you run for President isn't Johnny's concern. He doesn't really give a shit what you do. You're a pathetic excuse for a Governor of ANY state. No, really, Johnny's not kidding, you need to GTFO. Your staff should be criminally charged and yet you've said nothing today about ANY staff shakeup. If you're going to lie (yes, it is the Jersey City Desk's opinion Christie is LYING about his knowledge of the Fort Lee lane closures) and hide behind staff you'd better lose them when they commit possible FELONIES (Interstate commerce laws be damned eh CC?) like costing a 91 year old woman having chest pains in Fort Lee an extra 7-10 minutes in response time. She died. Did she die because of the delay? Time for a HUGE investigation complete with legal subpoenas, and NO claims of executive privilege. That's right, Chris, if you claim ANY form of executive privilege it will prove beyond a doubt you knew.

Why do we think you knew what was going on Mr. Christie? You sure made it a point to bitch about the three lanes dedicated to Fort Lee saying they "sauced" you. You seem have a great working knowledge of every lane in and out of the town and yet you knew nothing of the closures? Suuuuuuure you didn't. Are you that lost as a chief exec that your staff thinks they can run rogue over you? Are you that bad at being in charge? Of course you're not. You're no idiot. You know what your staff is up to. Johnny's had staff, thousands of other people have had staffs that didn't do what yours did.

Want to know another reason you need to go? Your lack of intellectual curiosity about why your best friends were resigning from the Port Authority. What did you think was happening? Did you care? Did you ask ANY questions of these assholes personally? Did you call them and ask wtf? What did you ask your staff after the resignations began why this might be spiraling so out of control?

What did you know and when did you know it?

Look CC, you're a bully. That's clear. You're a bully who now hides behind women. Here's the amazing thing Chris, now that you're confronted with your stupidity and bullying you go HIDE. Putting out a statement seven hours after the story breaks and all you can say is you're outraged? Fuck you. You ran and hid like a bully does when stood up to. That's not just a small time blog in Jersey City saying that, that was the Wall Street Journal.

One more thing Governor. Stay the hell out of Jersey City. You're persona non-gratis here. We don't want you here, we don't need you here so why not go play with your acolytes in Atlantic City where they love you and our tax money. We like our "Captain America" and respect the fact after 9/11 he quit what he was doing on Wall St. to go defend America and fight our enemies. We think it's great he raises money for charities by swimming the Hudson River (Johnny knows what you're all thinking but he's not going there).

Mr. Christie, there's a 5pm train out of Trenton, be under it.

The GW Bridge closure fiasco goes right to the top -- A smoking gun found in Fort Lee

You remember Governor Chris Christie blowing off speculation that the suspicious lane closures at the GW Bridge that jammed up Fort Lee traffic (including emergency service vehicles) saying they were nothing more than a traffic study right? Forget the fact most traffic studies are done as computer models. Forget the fact ONE Christie ally at the Port Authority said the public wasn't to know about any of this. Forget the fact in his first term Christie's people, through nothing more than their own incompetence cost New Jersey schoolkids some $400 million in federal funding and then tried blaming it on Obama faceless bureaucrats until they got busted for simply not bringing a couple required pieces of paper.

So Christie roared his horrible roar which brings us to today. Mr. Christie, we just know you're an avid Jersey City Desk reader, do you know a woman in your employ goes by the name Bridget Anne Kelly? The state website says she's your Deputy Chief of Staff. Well sit down Governor because you're gonna love what Bridget has been up to. According to the New York Times, she sent an email saying, well here, here it is:

“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” she emailed David Wildstein, Mr. Christie’s close friend and appointee at the Port Authority.

Damn CC, do you allow your Deputy Chief of Staff the leeway to jam up an interstate crossing and backup traffic and emergency services in Fort Lee? Wow, Johnny wants to work for you! It's kind of like the opposite of those online games where you build up civilizations, only here you mess up the grid and screw over the peasants because the local cerf won't say you're great.

“Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” WTF Gov? Sure, you'll toss her to the wolves and say, "Whoa look at that wildcat who's so out of control" but we know. Your options are somewhat limited. You can't say you did it yourself or the Tea people would have an actual issue to use against you next January in Iowa. You took out retribution on Mark Sokolich, a Democrat, because he refused to kiss the ring. What you did was use and inconvenience the people of New Jersey and anyone else slowed down at the GW Bridge in your pique. 

The same people you looked like you cared about after Sandy.

Cruel AND hilarious at someone else's expense? Count us in...

The good people at Gothamist have a list of the 20 favorite lies to tell tourists. Here are a couple and click the link to see the rest:

*You're required by law to give a cigarette to anyone who requests one.
*You pay for a Metrocard by putting your credit card into the slot at the turnstiles.
*When you hear the bells of St. Patrick's ring, you should fire your gun in the air.
