- (informal) The 2013 Fort Lee lane closure scandal under New Jersey governor Chris Christie's administration.
- 2015 January 26, Michael Barbaro, “A Radio Host’s Strategy for Christie: Let Him Rant”, in The New York Times[1]:
- He thinks like a politician, and he thinks like a lawyer. So the governor in particular is very careful about parsing his words, especially if we’re talking about a political issue that’s being negotiated in the Legislature, talking about things connected to Bridgegate, things that are semicontroversial.
