News travels fast, especially when it comes to potential US Presidential contenders. So I won’t summarize the current flap over New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and what has already been dubbed “Bridge-gate.” Suffice it to say that Mr. Christie claims that he wasn’t personally involved in punishing the people of Fort Lee, New Jersey, by artificially creating a massive traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge. But nevertheless it was done, at the very least by members of his staff, and for reasons that most people – unfortunately – can readily imagine, even if they are unlikely to approve.
