The annual traffic volume on the George Washington Bridge is 102 vehicles.<br /><br />For Bob's mathematically challenged fans, 10 million vehicles would be a wee bit short of 10 percent of the annual volume.<br /><br />Bob also disappeared on Jan. 11 a rather interesting point made by Foye a month earlier in his testimony. Approximately 25 percent of the bridge traffic accesses at Fort Lee. Thus, three of the 12 lanes are dedicated to that access.<br /><br />Bob also failed to consider another key point. Suppose the Fort Lee access was permanently reduced to one lane. Would motorists continue to get stuck in traffic jams for hours? Or would they seek alternative access farther south, thereby negating any gains to northbound traffic?<br /><br />Harvard-educated Bob apparently doesn't have the intellect to think that deeply.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-37601392261360840122014-03-30T15:28:00.273-04:002014-03-30T15:28:00.273-04:00For the record, Somerby -- a stickler for the lite...For the record, Somerby -- a stickler for the literal when it comes to others -- wrote that embellished and exaggerated description of daily traffic on Jan. 11, when he was flailing away in his attempt to show why a "traffic study" was certainly warranted, and after all, this could have been one. And this came three days after Christie himself gave up on that fairy tale.<br /><br />Bob has subsequently gone further and stated what Baroni told the legislative committee in detail about the "traffic study" nearly three months later could have been the Gospel truth as Baroni believed it.<br /><br />After all, how could the deputy executive director of the Port Authority have possibly found out the truth in a scant three months? <br /><br />Now we have evidence that the fairy tale Baroni told included careful, handwritten editing by not one, but TWO member's of Christie's staff in Trenton, and neither one of them were named "Kelly."<br /><br />So how does Somerby respond to the unfolding of new evidence that reveals his earlier work to be "erratic" "aberrant" and even "abhorrent"? By manning up and 'fessing up that he has been blinded by his own loathing of Rachel Maddow, et al?<br /><br />Nope. He focuses on quote marks, a single word, and attacks Joan Walsh. Then he uses that as Exhibit A to show how awful the reporting about Mastro's report is.<br /><br />And while the whole world sees this report for what it is -- a taxpayer-funded whitewash, Somerby starts off by saying it "has its strong points and its weak points."<br /><br />Oh, good gawd!

Someone (presumably, from the campaign staff) got a "No dice" from Fulop, so Kelly -- once again on her own initiative because "that's not the way we operate" according to Christie -- then called all the department heads and told them all to cancel all their planned meetings with Fulop. And each one of them dutifully obeyed, individually calling Fulop's office to cancel.<br /><br />Was this before or after Stepien dumped Kelly? Because Mastro's whole stated purpose in bringing up that "personal relationship" that had cooled by the time of the Fort Lee e-mail was to show that Kelly was no longer speaking to Stepien, thus nobody else was involved.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-37947815662369742102014-03-30T13:53:34.744-04:002014-03-30T13:53:34.744-04:00Just a suggestion.
