Chris Christie falls out of chair in newly released footage

[Liberal_in_LA]

Chris Christie was down and out during a radio interview in Philly.

Never before seen footage shows the New Jersey Governor falling out of a chair last June during a visit to the WIP Morning Show.

In a video clip of the fall, the Governor tries to take a seat in a roller chair at the station, opposite radio show host Angelo Cataldi.

But in an ill timed move, the chair rolls back just as the Republican tries to settle in.

Christie is seen falling back on the floor and an aide rushes over to embarrassed politician to resolve the “chair issue.”

2. People can get seriously hurt taking even a minor fall like that

I know that I should know better, but I can't help laughing when I see someone taking a prat fall in front of me. It's a reaction stronger than me I can't control. Christie took it well and fell on a well-padded area of his body. Even though I hate his toxic rhetoric and ideas, I don't want him to get hurt.

6. "and fell on a well-padded area of his body"

Well, duh!

[bravenak]

3. At least he wasn't harmed.

I would hate to have to give him sympathy. I tried not to laugh.

4. What did that register on the Richter scale?

[Jackpine Radical]

5. This is very reminiscent of the '92 Election.

Remember when Poppy bush threw up on the lap of the person next to him & took a dive at some fancy affair in (iirc) Japan? When the press got hold of it, they kept replaying it like the Dean Scream of years later. That's when I began to wonder if some sort of media fix was in for Clinton.

Clinton had his own vulnerabilities during the '92 campaign with respect to rumors of prior affairs, but they never really caught fire except among the right-wingers of the time.

7. LMFAO

This hasn't been a good day for him. I'm glad people are beginning to see him as the joke that he is.

[Beaverhausen]

8. really? how old are you?

[HappyMe]

9. Yeah, I guess it's funny.

This does fall into the 'is that all you got' thing though.

[appleannie1]

10. It is a wonder the floor did not crack. They need to get a wider chair for him.

[phil89]

16. OH because he's overweight!

Life threatening obesity sure is a hoot.

[Ed Suspicious]

29. People around here can be fucking assholes about obesity and do it with a smarmy,smug, sarcastic,

smile on their face. It's so progressive.

[JaneyVee]

11. That chair was like "HELL NO!"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

22. The chair recognizes Governor Christie.

[freshwest]

13. Chair issue?

[alphafemale]

14. They slowed it down so you can appreciate the uh-oh face.

[tallahasseedem]

17. This is what happens when you go against the Eagles...

Seriously, Christie...did you not think this stuff was going to start getting released?

[lpbk2713]

18. The chair is pleading self defense.

"Oh no you don't!"

[asiliveandbreathe]

19. You just gotta' know

This will be used during his prez run - just gotstoknowit!

[RedSpartan]

20. And he wants to be our latex salesman...

[supercats]

21. Thats What Will Happen....

To that thug asshole if god forbid he runs for President!!!

[rurallib]

23. Curly Howard he is not

Curly had grace and far more intelligence and was much, much nicer.

Nice try Chris, but you are no Curly!

[El Shaman]

24. I wonder

if his LAP-BAND@ is still in one piece!!!?

[tblue37]

25. That could happen to any of us. I would rather go after him because he

governs corruptly and according to a failed ideology, not because he fell or was embarrassed by falling.

[ColesCountyDem]

26. I can't stand the man, but I am glad he wasn't injured. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

27. The chair: Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

[libdem4life]

28. Wasn't it Gerald Ford who fell off the stairs? He never quite got over that. Maybe this is

different.

[Ed Suspicious]

30. It feels so fucking great being cursed with the Governor's physique when I get to see all my

progressive friends line up to shit on mine and people like us with similar body types. A hearty fuck you to those making fat jokes. But I know it will likely never stop. We're just too easy a target, and who wants to defend a person who is disgustingly fat anyway, am I right? You people who engage in this make me sick. But, I guess that's a good thing. It's hard to eat when you're sick - maybe it'll help us to lose weight.

[Liberal_in_LA]

33. christie falling out of chair interest has.nothing to do w weight

[Faux pas]

31. LOL

saving this for my good morning laughs! Priceless
