First Thoughts: Bridge-scandal story has only just begun
By Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Domenico Montanaro
Bridge-scandal story has only just begun: For New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, all the news and scrutiny he received last week wasnt the beginning of the end of this George Washington Bridge scandal. Instead, its looking like only the end of the beginning. The Bergen Record reports that New Jersey Democrats plan to issue a new round of subpoenas as soon as today. Assemblyman John Wisniewski said he plans to issue subpoenas demanding documents from the governors former deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly and spokesman Michael Drewniak, along with other aides whose names surfaced last week in documents related to the lane closures in early September. Wisniewski even dropped the I-word -- impeachment. "The Assembly has the ability to do articles of impeachment" if necessary, said Wisniewski, who added, "We're way ahead of that, though. (Still, mentioning the I-word only ratchets things up.) Other New Jersey mayors who DID NOT endorse Christie, like Hobokens Dawn Zimmer, are wondering if they were recipients of political retribution. With 20/20 hindsight, in the context we're in right now, we can always look back and say, 'Okay, was it retribution?' Zimmer said. I think probably all mayors are reflecting right now and thinking about it, but I really hope that that's not the case. And Christie will receive lots of attention when he travels to Florida later this week. He's scheduled to visit next Saturday for a series of fund-raising appearances on behalf of the Republican Governors Association to benefit Gov. Rick Scott's re-election campaign, the Miami Herald says.

"Under the Bridge"
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a governor,
Sometimes I feel like my only friend,
Is the traffic I'm stuck in, the traffic of Christie,
Angry as I am, together we sigh...
Maybe it could be the Super Bowl halftime theme!
