  1. 1. I think it's because Christie dislikes Boehner.

The private messages that linked Governor Christie’s office to lane closures at the George Washington Bridge also contain jokes about causing “traffic problems” at the home of a New Jersey rabbi associated with the Port Authority, newly released documents show.

The information is contained in 20 pages of messages that previously had redactions shielding who sent and received texts between former Port Authority executive David Wildstein and others.

...

The texts — exchanged between Wildstein and Christie’s former deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly — include snarky jokes aimed at a Port Authority police chaplain, including the jibes about causing traffic jams on his street and delaying international flights to Israel.

The texts occurred six days after Kelly sent to Wildstein her now-infamous email, “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” setting off more than four days of gridlock in the borough in mid-September.

In the texts about the chaplain, Wildstein sent Kelly a picture of Rabbi Mendy Carlebach, later writing: “And he has officially pissed me off.”

“Clearly,” Kelly responded on Aug. 19.

“We cannot cause traffic problems in front of his house, can we?” Kelly wrote.

“Flights to Tel Aviv all mysteriously delayed,” wrote Wildstein, an executive at the bi-state agency that controls the region’s airports.

“Perfect,” Kelly wrote.

It’s not clear why Wildstein was angry with Carlebach.

...

Carlebach, a Middlesex County rabbi, said he was surprised and baffled when told about the passages.

...

“I have totally no idea,” he said when asked why he might be the subject of the text messages between Wildstein and Kelly. “I don’t understand it. … None of it makes any sense.”

...

In the photo Wildstein forwarded to Kelly before they exchanged messages about the rabbi, Carlebach is posing next to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner.
