As Twitchy reported, Chris Christie is currently fending off speculation about his possible role in the so-called “Bridgegate” scandal. David Plouffe can barely contain his glee:

We’re certainly not excusing the alleged behavior of his staffers, and if Christie himself had anything to do with what happened, he most definitely needs to answer for it.
But it’s also important to maintain perspective — something the Left seriously sucks at. If the same people crying foul over Bridgegate were willing to devote a fraction of their energy to holding Democrats accountable, the Obama administration would be forced to play defense, too.
And this White House has got plenty of dirty laundry:

Christie stuff is wrong and should be criticized, but the media was quick to cover for Obama when he did the same stuff during the shutdown.

I love how libs are bashing Christie for being corrupt after one scandal but still defend Obama after all of his. #IRS #Benghazi

Shorter @davidplouffe: Christie shuts down bridge:DEVASTATING! Obama shuts down access to war memorials: <crickets>

The people who were totally okay with Obama barricading the WWII memorial, are now outraged by Christie closing a bridge.

Christie messed with traffic. Obama trafficked guns to Mexican druglords.

We now know more about Chris Christie and the GWB then we do about President Obama's grades in college. Keep up the good work MSM!

Wait, is Chris Christie canceling peoples' insurance as they cross over the GW bridge? #bridgegate

#YouMightBeALiberal if Obama's IRS targeting his enemies was not a big deal, but Gov Christie closing a bridge is an OUTRAGE!

Hillary Clinton's incompetence led to four Americans (one, an ambassador) being killed. But Chris Christie is MEAN!!!

Christie: closed a bridge. Obama: let Al-Qaeda retake a bridge. #Fallujah

Fort Lee is trending in the US. "Iraq surge" didn't trend yesterday. Weird.

Tip for Christie’s PR handlers:
@NolteNC Christie should do what Obama does, call it a phony scandal and refuse to talk about it.
