I've decided to call this Bridgescam from now on, in honor of Abscam,

[pnwmom]

NJ's last best political scandal, which is currently immortalized in the excellent film, American Hustle. Now showing at a theater near you.

1. Bridgewater? Waterbridge? A bridge too near? A bridge too far?

[pnwmom]

2. I know. Comedians will have material for years, hopefully. n/t

[BobUp]

3. I'm trying, how am I doing so far?

should I mention Sgt. Schultz?

[pnwmom]

4. That takes me back!

[BobUp]

5. He's going to have to think of something,

some excuse for why his staffers did that. It's a good thing nobody died during a medical emergency during the shenanigans, because if there were a medical emergency, that would've been really bad publicity.

What a stupid and irresponsible thing to do.

If he doesn't let someone go over this, it will show he might have known about it, and was complicit with it.

Popcorn might be necessary whilst we wait for the next shoe to drop.

[pnwmom]

6. Oh, but someone did die. And his only argument would have to be

"it doesn't count because she was 91."

Response times were doubled. It could have just as easily been a younger person having a heart attack or a stroke.

7. That's only a problem if

the media blows it up a bit, to a republican, one life isn't worth much, as we both know. Of course, we cannot depend on RW media to report much about it, they need to protect their interests.

8. Keep it simple, my friend. "Kristiegate" or "KrispieKreemeGate"

[Rowdyboy]

9. I like Bridge-ghazi, but thats just me....

Kinda turns things around on them

[pnwmom]

10. Unfortunately,they like that comparison. They still think

that faux scandal was real, and since four people died, it was much, much worse.

[Rowdyboy]

11. As long as they talk about it nonstop for a few days i don't care much what they call it...

As long as they discredit and embarrass the sorry asshole.

But I do see your point.

[kairos12]

13. Way too appropriate.

[Blue Idaho]

12. Call it murder.

Someone died as a result of EMTs being slowed because of this political attack.

[Whisp]

14. That Kid's Song: Christie's Bridge is Falling Down, Falling Down

Christie's bridge is falling down
My fair prosecutoooor

bla bla blah

Take the key and lock him up
Lock him up.
