Snicker.

As Twitchy reported, Governor Christie held a press conference Thursday morning in which he took full responsibility for the New Jersey bridge scandal, in a striking contrast to President Obama. He also fired deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly and asked Bill Stepien to withdraw his name from nomination for state party chairman.

Journo Jim Antle noticed a little something funny about Ms. Kelly’s name, however. What’s in a name? This:

Wait, her name is BRIDGEt Kelly?

Coincidence? You decide! Other Twitter users get in on the giggles.

Aching sides!

But rest easy, Ms. Kelly. At least you aren’t this person:

Oh, the humanity.

Toxic little Alec Baldwin complains about Chris Christie’s ‘high-pitched, plaintive whine’

‘Greatest trolling ever’? Did Chris Christie troll the media during his presser?

‘Ultimately, I am responsible’: Christie going to Ft. Lee to apologize to those affected by ‘Bridgegate’

The ‘I’s have it! All you need to know about the difference between Obama and Christie
