Another Shoe Drops for Gov. Krispykreme
New Jersey Governor and pastry magnet Chis "Krispykreme" Christie isn't out of the woods on the Bridgegate scandal, as Federal and State inquiries proceed into the George Washington Bridge closing, and now he's facing allegations over the misuse of Federal Hurricane Sandy funds. The primary allegation seems to be that Krispykreme chose a higher bid contractor for tourism ads that featured him and his family (a few months before the election) over a lower bid (by $2 million) contractor that didn't feature the Krispykreme Krew.
As coverups of scandals unravel, law enforcement and investigative journalists (of which there are too few these days going after Rethuglicans) begin to look more closely at other operations. With Krispykreme's style of "governing," Bridgegate and this latest development could blossom into a spring of stinkweed for the loudmouth Governor of New Jersey.
