Some ChristieGate Laughs--Links from Onion, Jon Stewart, Colbert, more

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 that’s a pretty amusing and unexpected reversal: Chris Christie as a bully.


Letterman monologue (don't recommend--too much reliance on "fat" jokes)

Leno?
urm, not here.
Seems like the late-night talk show hosts are striking out with the Christie humor.

DU Christie cartoon threads. Thanks n2doc!

Jon Stewart "The Never-Ending Sorry." Brutal!

Colbert Report. Has "stages of grief" and Christie "I'm sad" compilation. Pure genius.

"a reprieve from Jon and Colbert as they do not air on Friday night".. but, wait until Monday night!

“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 Christie’s weight. And Conan O’Brien 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.
