Chris Matthews Slams '300 Plus' Pounds Chris Christie, Too Fat to be President
NewsBusters ^ | Dec. 10, 2010 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 12/10/2010 9:57:30 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Hardball host Chris Matthews appeared at a local event in Washington D.C. on Thursday to trash Republican Chris Christie as too fat to be President. The Washington Examiner reported that Matthews derided the New Jersey governor, mocking, "Chris Christie is moon over New Jersey, he should not wear white shirts, I tell you that."

He continued, "I saw him the other day and I was amazed by it, he must be 300 plus, and that’s something he’s just gotta deal with because you’re not going to say, ‘I’m going to cut the budget,’ well, how about starting with supper?"

Matthews, who appeared at the WMAL radio event, continued to cheer for the man who gave him a thrill up his leg. Lobbying for more time, he insisted, "Shouldn’t this President be given another year before you dismiss him? Give him another year in the presidency before you begin to try to destroy him."

But blue and white stripes are OK?

A fat belly is better than a fat head.

Chrissie Matthews should be so lucky.

Christie has already defused this. He specifically pointed out a sign at one of his press conferences that said “Chris Christie-To Big to Fail”.

Call for Matthews head. I’m sure there are a lot of overweight people who are offended by Matthews statements on the Governor being fat. Chris Matthews is callous and insensitive.

Zell Miller wanted to kill chrissie at the 2004 republicrat convention in NY... on the sidewalk in front of the convention. When being interviewed by chrissie... Zell said, “You had better be glad that they outlawed dueling”.

He meant it too... chrissie felt more than a tingle down his leg that night.

Taft was back in the time when people weren’t fixated on “weight” and “being thin”; people just were what they were and didn’t agonize over it. Obama is super thin, mostly just naturally so, but right now it doesn’t seem to be helping him much. He seems to be able to eat as he likes and still stay skinny; Michelle not so much. However, it isn’t likely that the celebrity culture worship that has permeated this country is going to allow for people in the culture being natural and normal any time soon. Meantime, you either have to cut loose from it emotionally or let it drive us nuts. I’m for letting common sense prevail and being natural and ourselves. If this one and that one don’t like you, so be it.

As a former, recovering fatty....

I have always been amused at how people will jump ugly if you say the “N” word, or if you suggest that muslims are terrorists.

But they will not hesitate to openly deride fat people.

I am not crying about “equal rights” for fat people. I am suggesting that it is easy for folks to say, “fatty-fatty-fat-fat” because it is an acceptable form of “hate speech.”

One day, I went on a trip with my boss, and my bosses boss from Hartford to NYC. As we got on the train, the bosses boss (lets call him Russ) started commenting that I “should stay away from the pastries” on the canteen cart. Then when we got into the city, Russ commented that we “did not have time to stop at the pretzel cart.” Both of these were prefaced by my first name.

Neither time did I have any intention of eating. In fact, I was on a diet and excerise program and had already lost a couple dozen pounds. I was large, but not Nadler fat. A former college lineman, I put on about forty pounds in the six or so years since graduating.

So, we finally get to our destination, and most of the men had to go to the mens room. As I stood at the urinal next to him, I must have missed my aim a little bit, and some splashed onto his shoe. I leaned over and quietly said, “A-hole, if you keep making fat jokes, I will start with bald jokes in the meetings.”

While I thought my future with this guy was done, I was mistaken. No more fat jokes, and I rode his coattails for a few years. He continued to be a jerk, just not to me. The end came when his wife found out that a couple of his direct reports had been covering up his affair with a very, very hot girl from our marketing department—the worst kept secret in the office.

But, if I were a woman I could have sued his ass. But, because I was a large man I had to suck it up. Really, who would have listened and who could have proven that a career was halted because I did not fit the visual image of a senior manager in that Harvard MBA world.

Think about that the next time you start making the fatty-fatt-fat jokes.

“Obama is super thin, mostly just naturally so, but right now it doesn’t seem to be helping him much.”

One of the side affects of many antidepressants is weight loss. Also playing b-ball everyday might help offset a horrible diet as well.

I think this comes under the "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" label. I have spent a life time listening to 'dumb blonde' jokes'; now a 'fading blonde', I never took offense. Four eyes, big tooth etc. seems there is a plethora of names to call those that others are either uncomfortable with or jealous of. Mr. Christi is head and shoulders above Mr. Matthews and then some.....brrrrrrrap! so there little crissy matthews.........!

Too fat? Tell that to Taft. They might have to build a bigger bathtub though.

That’s because it is IMPOSSIBLE to call Christie stupid. His ability to speak on his feet, clearly and unequivocally, absolutely obliterates that tactic.

I think Missy Chwissy needs a three week sensitivity course.

And he was spewing this crap at WMAL. Isn’t he kinda fat himself?

Maybe Chris Christie will sit on him and shut him up for good.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Come on down to Maryland. You can fill the void left by one of the conservatives fleeing my state.

I’m overweight, and I found Chrissy’s comment more obnoxious than offensive. Chrissy’s a dumbass. At least Christie’s trying to slim down government, unlike Big Moochelle (telling us what to eat) and Fat Lisa (EPA).
