The funny part is that Maria Bartiromo wasn’t trying to be ironic. She didn’t even get the joke.
Surprising Christie didn’t start pounding his head on a desk
“Well, in New Jersey, we’ve found that not allowing traffic on bridges saves us a lot of money in the near term…”
"What is your plan to fix the ailing roads and bridges across the country without breaking ther bank?” Maria Bartiromo asked Christie at one point.
Well, Maria, I intend to cause some, ahem, “traffic problems” on all roads leading to bridges thereby obviating the need for any repairs.
Bartiromo is very nice to look at, but she sure ain’t the brightest bulb in the pack…
"What is your plan to fix the ailing roads and bridges across the country without breaking the bank?”

Well, if rumors and divorce proceedings are to be believed…that’s largely how she got her start in business news reporting. Sleeping with CEOs.
“Don’t mention the Bridge !”
This should have been an easy answer for Christie. As POTUS, he’d do the same thing to fix bridges and highways that he did in NJ—nothing.
ANd he probably knew unlike Raygun who probably probably didn’t know about the Iran arms deal and Dubya who probably knew nothing about Iraq being unarmed.
