There are far bigger scandals than Bridge-gate. There are much better examples of greed, or corruption, or incompetence than Bridge-gate.  In fact maybe that's what annoys me so much about Bridge-gate (other than the name "Bridge-gate")...  just that it was so utterly pointless and petty and stupid.

Here's a guy who goes out and deliberately inflicts hardship on the citizens of a town of 50,000 people, because he had a beef with their mayor.  Really?!?  People couldn't get to work... school buses were stuck on roads all day, emergency vehicles were stuck in traffic, the whole town was paralyzed. Why?  Because Chris Christie was mad that the mayor of Fort Lee didn't endorse his re-election campaign.  That's just utterly retarded. To inflict that kind of aggravation on all those people because of something so petty... the sheer assholery of it is almost beyond belief. If it was motivated by greed or personal gain, I could at least understand it... but motivated by just malice over a petty personal grudge, it just seems so utterly juvenile.
