    How about we stay in the lane?

    How about you just lock it up like you usually do and be consistent.

    We're merging 4 into 1 because of a traffic study, so it might take a while.

    How about you get off my red ass. You wanted a little bit of rope with this, you're getting it. Don't hang yourself.

    Dick Tuck salted the room with "Nixon Now!" signs.

    Discussing how the N.J. media covers governors seems pretty relevant to the thread topic. It's definitely relevant to some of the accusations being thrown out.

    A Chris Christie appointee’s comment about the George Washington Bridge’s lane closings affecting school buses with children of supporters of their Democratic opponent reminds New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman of the deadly conflict between Muslims in the Middle East.

    “The first thing that came to my mind is that’s exactly how Sunnis would talk about Shiites or Shiites would talk about Sunnis in Baghdad or Beirut,” he said on Morning Joe. He noted that the Lebanese civil war started as a result of a school bus being shot up.

    Seems like it would be more appropriate for Obama to do that given the similarities between their administrations.

    Dick Tuck. Now that's a name I haven't thought of in a long, long time. The best Tuck story I can recall is Nixon speaking in some city's Chinatown. He arranged for attendees behind Nixon to hold up signs in Chinese asking, "What about the Hughes loan?"

    Off topic, I know, but one of Nixon's younger brothers had taken the loan from HH, in part, to try to start Nixonburger drive-in restaurant franchises.

    It was Dick Tuck who issued the immortal concession speech when wasn't elected Mayor of Aspen "The people have spoken. The bastards!"
