'Benghazi' and 'IRS' Were Mentioned More on Sunday Talk Shows Than 'Fort Lee'

The real corruption being exposed by this whole Gov. Chris Christie bridge closure story is President Obama's. Or so Republicans claimed on the Sunday political talk shows, and in print, and online.

You could see this coming. When Erick Erickson last week suggested turning Christie's problems into a critique of Obama, it didn't take long for that plan to swing into effect. On Sunday, it really matured.

It's the Benghazi comparisons that have captured the popular attention over the past 24 hours, probably because 1) it was actually the big Republican names trying to draw shaky threads between the two, and 2) contrasting the New Jersey governor's administration's role in causing traffic jams in Fort Lee with the death of ambassador in Libya seems … bold. So:

Karl Rove, on Fox News: "[Y]ou'll notice we haven't been hearing a lot from the Clinton camp about this. The contrast with President Clinton and Secretary Clinton's handling of Benghazi."

Another reason corporate giants hate the Internets and LOVE the fact that net neutrality is no longer an obstacle.
