Dear Editor: I am watching with bemusement the firestorm created by Bridgegate. The difference in the news coverage between the numerous scandals of the president and Bridgegate is quite telling, especially in the hallowed halls of that noted media Superfund site, MSNBC, featuring the Reverend Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton. BTW, exactly where IS the good …
Dear Editor: If I were a citizen in New Jersey and had cast my vote for Chris Christie for his second term as Governor of New Jersey, I would feel short changed over the “Bridge-Gate” scandal. This whole affair reminds me of Richard Nixon during the “Watergate” scandal. President Nixon went on National TV and …
