Christie To Corzine: Just Call Me Fat To My Face

In the close, nasty NJ governor's race, Republican challenger Chris Christie said on Don Imus's radio show yesterday that NJ Governor Jon Cozrine should “man up and say I’m fat.” He was referring to Corzine's suggestive ads; Christie also told Imus, "I'm pretty fat," and predicted he would be a "a big fat winner" next Tuesday. The NY Times looks at the candidates today—"the two rivals made no apologies for the ugly tone of the campaign."

OK... You're fat! But, you're also a corrupt, crooked weasel of a rat-bastard. And you're fat.

Chris Christie is so fat, when he sat down with Don Imus, Fox Business News shifted to the left.

HA!

Is it wrong to be concerned about whether a man who wants you to vote for him will be healthy enough to serve his entire term? Don't we get updates in the news every time PotUS gets a medical checkup?

And frankly, if a man can't control his personal habits when his health is in jeopardy, I'm not sure I would trust his ability to run the state.

Better yet, call him a "goddamn homophobe" to his face.

Mr Mel

Is Christie really a barroom brawler? Or is he getting desperate now that the heat is on.

after watching seinfeld last night I googled wayne knight.

He LOST 115 LBS! just by regulating his calorie intake and exercise. I needed to do it after needing to run in a scene and he was out of breath and his doctor told him to lose weight if he wanted to live.

He should do a "call me fat to my face" fundraiser. Anyone who donates $5 to his campaign or maybe to some health-related charity (American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association or even the American Cancer Society). Think of all the additional publicity!
