What, are we hunting them now?

Richardson has a clear conflict of interest.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Richardson’s going for the fat vote.

[expatguy]

Ouch! I'm laughing so hard that my side it hurting.

Please tell me this is a joke. Has the entire country gone completely CRAZY?

Only in America...

Perhaps the extra fat could be turned into gasoline? Fatonal?

When I was a kid everyone was concerned about anorexia. Their solution was to tell every adult and child they could find not to worry about their weight, or what they ate. What resulted was inevitable, and yet I still hear people on TV prattling the same nonsense even though America has a real obesity problem these days. I think it would do America some good if people would start coming out and say “You know what, it IS bad to be so out of shape.”

People eat themselves into oblivion and they deserve disability for it? Judas priest. Now if a person has a bonafide medical condition, apart from a clinically insatiable appetite for pizza and ice cream, then that’s a whole different matter.

good gravy

as an obese American I can honestly say this is such a huge pile of baloney that I doubt I can stomach any more. It fills me with white meat anger that a politician could be so piggish a to try to get votes for taxpayer bacon.

He won't get any new voters because even we fat pigs have brains.

I am fat because I eat too much and exercise too little, its not a disease and its not an accident, per se.

I didn't even know he was still in the race.

Take away their food stamps. That’ll slim them down in a hurry with no Twinkies.

"Richardson is not a newcomer to the obesity issue."

[Hoffer Rand]

His campaign slogan...

Obesity: it's a HUGE issue.

[VirginiaConstitutionalist]

Since when is putting the entire bag of Doritos down your throat a disability?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Three hundred pounds is generally where humans leave off and livestock begins. MOO

[dashing doofus]

There are no federal laws that protect obese Americans from discrimination in the workplace, school, or anywhere else

Patently untrue.

Obese Americans may also need forklifts.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/19/big.guy.ap/index.html

Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health.
Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Big talk, fat boy.
