New Jersey Governor and potential Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie has got a serious and still building scandal on his hands. It has certainly progressed to the state at which it has earned the “-gate” suffix, although it is just getting started. It is not clear to me, however, whether this is Bridgegate or Bridgetgate. But that is the least of my questions.
When the news broke—early Wednesday morning, January 8, 2014—that emails from Governor Chris Christie’s top staff had surfaced indicating that they had knowingly used their power for political reasons—specifically, to close two toll booth lanes onto the George Washington Bridge (which connects NJ to NYC) as an act of political retribution, my first reaction was to tweet it as “Bridgegate.”
