Inspired by this article at The Record, Bergan County's newspaper that led the way on reportage of this scandal, I looked up the links...and laughed. Decided to post them and others.
The Record story: GWB scandal provides plenty of fodder for late-night talk shows
The Onion: My Fellow Americans, Look At Me: Do I Look Like A Corrupt, Vengeful Bully?
Choice Onion sentence:
After all, just imagine me secretly being some overcompensating, bitter, antagonistic personality with a my-way-or-the-highway demeanor and a ruthless desire for ever greater degrees of political power. I mean, sure, I see how thats a pretty amusing and unexpected reversal: Chris Christie as a bully.
Letterman monologue (don't recommend--too much reliance on "fat" jokes)

Seems like the late-night talk show hosts are striking out with the Christie humor.

Jon Stewart "The Never-Ending Sorry." Brutal!
Colbert Report. Has "stages of grief" and Christie "I'm sad" compilation. Pure genius.

So sorry I was late getting out here, Jimmy Fallon said as he took the stage for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night. Apparently I pissed off Chris Christie and he popped the tires on my CitiBike. -
"Both Leno and Letterman also made jokes about Christies weight. And Conan OBrien used the scandal as an occasion to make the typical Jersey joke, writing on Twitter on Thursday," -
Not good.. they should know better. It's more hard hitting and funny if Christie's whatever is left entirely out of everything.
