NYTimes reported that Behind Inflammatory Email, Aide With a Low Profile. Maybe, but TPV’s Marquel unearthed an obsession with bridges, traffic, and, as she says, “anything that goes, vroom vroom!”
Apparently, despite popular opinion otherwise, there was nothing political about Bridget Anne Kelly’s emails that led to the closing of several lanes on the George Washington bridge and massive traffic jams in Fort Lee. After intense investigation and interviews with family and friends, it turns out, as her mother says,
she just adores traffic jams. Sometimes she stops at a red light and just won’t move after it changes. You should see her eyes light up as she watches the line of cars behind us grow and grow and grow. She’s just like that. You could call her a traffic jam maven.
Neighbors confirm the condition.
“On garbage day, she puts all the cans in the road and stands behind a hedge to watch the cars pile up,” said Syd O’Reilly, her next door neighbor. “If it’s not garbage day, she’ll put anything she can find in the road to stop traffic. I’ve seen her line up her four kids right there in front of her house, and then wait for the cars to come. She talks to her kids for a second and then she’s behind the hedge again.”
TPV asked what she tells the kids. O’Reilly said,
I’ve heard her say, ‘good luck.’
Old high school friends tell similar stories.
“She’d be in biology class dissecting a frog, and then she’s at the window with the frog’s entrails hanging off her arms, yelling, ‘look at the traffic!’ I saw her actually talking to the dead frog, saying something like, ‘lil baby froggie, do you see the cars?'” Said Joan Kelly, a cousin and classmate.
Fort Lee residents aren’t impressed.
“If she wants to create a traffic jam, I’ve got just the place for her to do it,” said one resident, who seemed angry, “how about standing in the center lane of an unlighted section of I95 at midnight?”
Prepared to fend off comments to the contrary, here is the Times’ link: http://nyti.ms/1d0NKq0.
Did she kill Kermit?
I knew there was a reasonable explanation! Not that you need further proof, the Swiss translation of her name is “little bridge”
hey…nothing for two days!?
Désolé. C’arrive.
