Chris Christie's Bridge Too Far?

The media really is hyping this "Bridge-Gate" thing, eh?

This just in: Chris Christie is a bully!

Yawn.

Not A Scandal: Your petty and vindictive president padlocks the World War II Memorial and removes the handles from drinking fountains in National Parks. After he gets re-elected by using the IRS and the NSA to harass and hogtie his political enemies.

Scandal: New Jersey's petty and vindictive governor arranges a traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge. Again, after he gets re-elected in a landslide by convincing a plethora of leading Democrats to cross the aisle and endorse him.

Both are examples of supposed leaders abusing their power. Both are products of rabidly partisan political machinations. Curiously, only one of them is newsworthy.

But hey, since the media has rediscovered their investigative journalism skills, perhaps they could finally get incensed about a few other Non-Scandals like Fast and Furious or Benghazi. You know, before hanging Christie out to dry and proclaiming his presidential ambitions DOA.

Because nobody is writing editorials hanging Benghazi around Hillary's neck. Which is where it belongs, of course. She left 4 Americans to die, and lied about it while standing in front of their caskets.

The media can't wait for her to succeed Barack Obama as president. So they won't dare do anything to hinder her ambitions. And since Christie is slightly ahead of her in the polls, it's time for the long knives to get pointed in his direction.

I'm no Christie for President fan. But c'mon, Bridge-Gate is small beer. And really, at this point, what difference does it make?

UPDATE 09 Jan 2014 12:08:
Christie steps up, and fires the people responsible for this fiasco.

Unlike, say, a certain president some of you around here continue to worship.
