As Governor Chris Christie gets more and more media attention as a potential presidential candidate, liberal commentators keep talking about how he's fat fat fat.

I wish they'd knock it off.

I don't like Christie and I don't support him, but I don't want candidates vetted first and foremost on physical fitness.  Chris Christie's a big boy.  He's candid about it.  He has access to the best medical care.  He is only 49 years old.

They've kept Dick Cheney alive, the can keep Christie alive. 

Michael Kinsley carped about how Christie's weight would be a bad symbol for the country.  Why?  Because we're too heavy and our appetites our too big.  Well, wait a minute.  Some people have metabolic predispositions to obesity.  Maybe Kinsley knows something about Christie that I don't, but I'm not going to assume he's a gluttonous slob just because he's big.  Let's focus on political issues, not personal issues.

Again, I can't stand the guy.  I think he's an obnoxious lout.  However, all those pundits ranking on him for his weight has me feeling some sympathy for Governor Christie.  Good job guys.

What part of "NO" don't you understand?

Thanks for that - Jon Stewart really is a class apart, isn't he?


Re Christie - no, he's not going to run.  That much is obvious :)

It's a bit sad that a man's run for presidency has to revolve around his weight. If Christie is an 'obnoxious lout' then maybe the pundits should look in that direction for a smear campaign instead?

As for the 'I'm not running' montage, I thought that was funny.  ;D

Only I said he was an "obnoxious lout."  However, he's too liberal for the Republican base.
