Democrats should be demanding to see Christie's Girth Certificate.

he is proven to be a big fat liar, just how big and fat a liar he is, is a fair question.

to lighten up, the offender knows what we should be offended by, we minorities have no say in the matter. We should just zip our lips and grow a thicker skin.

I'm overweight. Christie's overweight. In fact, 2/3ds of Americans are overweight. The fat jokes are getting very tedious. It's not like Christie's size is unique. Can somebody (ANYBODY) express their understandable disdain for him without referring to his weight? Come on people - you can do it! Thanks!

and I'm sure you can guess why (I certainly won't repeat it now). Seen plenty of those types of jokes today with no hides. I love the consistency around this place.

CC really doesn't seem very healthy. Sometimes a person can become a little chubby due to their genes, but he is just outright obese. Every time I hear him talk, it sounds like he is struggling to breathe. He needs to work harder towards weight-loss and turn up his regimen because apparently, whatever he is doing now isn't working much for him. Just my $0.02.

I have asthma, and even when I was thin, back when I was a teen, I always sounded breathless. Funny, though, no one commented on it when I was thin, only now that I'm obese do people mention 'concern' about my breathlessness and huffing and puffing despite it always been a problem for me. Man, I just love this 'concern' about Christie's health...because it's not really.

It's okay to make fun of fat people for being fat, as long as they are republicans.

Don't we have enough reasons to dislike overweight GOPers besides their being overweight?

But fuck, I guess anything goes as long as it's directed at a Republican.
