Chris Christie aides' emails suggest intentionally created traffic nightmare

Because I'm a lawyer who routinely does give opinions on whether or not charges are warranted, and we have nowhere near enough information to make that kind of assessment here.

So because you are a lawyer, DSB shouldn't shoot the shit about possible criminal charges? That seems a somewhat tenuous argument.

Do you really want to go down the road of people not posting about things they aren't 100% qualified to give professional opinions about?

UNless she left him because he was beating on her or picking up hookers two at a time, I can't see how marital problems are a political problem...

I don't know the circumstances, so it may be a political problem, but regardless it could also be a personal problem. His wife may not want to go through a zillion insinuations about her character. He may not want his family to go through that.

BB has taken issue with DSB making legal claims on many occasions. I suppose the latter's dilettantism could be grating if it was taken place in one's field.

Jacob should cool his heels in gaol IMHO.

Shooting the shit is fine.  It's what we do.  DSB was far more conclusive in his opinion than that.

He's always conclusive in his opinion, even when he's not wrong.

What's the point in knowing everything if you can't share that fact with others?

[The Brain]

No one knows everything. At least I hope no one knows everything.

Which sort of takes us back to my point that he's probably too smart to run.

Why would anyone be trying to transport a critically ill patient from New Jersey to New York anyway?

Nurse Snooki just wasn't working out for her.

Different part of Jersey.

Patient's choice, bed availability, specific specialists... there are actually quite a few reasons critically ill patients would be taken over the bridge- our local ambulance corps take critically ill patients into PA to go to Hahneman or Chester-Crozer all the time.

My understanding is that in case of heart attacks, they take you to the nearest hospital, period.  Though I could be wrong about that.

Under normal circumstances, yeah, but an ambulance crew's supervisor can make limited judgment calls in situations where roads are impassible or the nearest hospital has no beds available.

Also, Beeb, get your panties out of your crack.  I'm thinking out loud on a somewhat-unruly Internet forum.  If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and I often am, but you don't have to be a dick about it.  Also, I'm beginning to think you guys take my posts far more seriously than I intend them to be taken.

I know. Not a lot of thought went into the joke, as you can see.

Sigh.
