(9,462 posts)5. The only problem with Bridgeghazi is that even though it sounds perfect we don't want people to
think the very real bridge scandal is similar to the made up (complete with altered documents) Benghazi scandal. It's a shame though because Bridgeghazi is perfect and it sounds great.
Will ghazi be the unofficial ending for a scandal that isn't true and gate be the unofficial ending for a scandal that is true? I say we make that happen.

they think it makes them look good. The story they're STILL pushing is that HRC was responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans, whereas Christie might have just caused some traffic tie-ups.
So I prefer "Bridgescam" in honor of Abscam, NJ's other famous scandal.

The Benghazi "scandal" was some trumped up fantasy by the right-wing nutjobs.

This one appears to be real. I'd suggest "bridge-gate".
