Good Morning America Making Fat Cracks About Christie?

Was it just coincidence that of all the ways "Good Morning America" could have reported that Republicans are urging Chris Christie to get into the presidential race, the ABC show today spoke--twice--of Christie being "heavily" urged to run? Throw in GMA describing Christie supporters opining that the other candidates are "too small" for the job. Oh, and the show's decision to roll extended, less-than-flattering footage of Christie walking across an airport tarmac to greet President Obama.

Makes you wonder whether this was the opening salvo of an ABC attack on Christie's avoirdupois. Of course, such cheap shots have a history of back-firing. Just ask ex-NJ Governor Jon Corzine.

Has ABC started with the fat jokes about Chris Christie? Ping to Today show list.

[Perdogg]

to be fair, so has Mark Levin.

[Still Thinking]

That’s OK. Better “Fat Reagan” than “Thin Lenin”.

[missnry]

I am not going to weigh in on this one.

[Still Thinking]

Heavy, man!

[digger48]

I'd rather have a fat patriot as president, than a scrawny , socialist phag.

Let’s face it, he is fat and he seriously needs to go on a diet. A little self control as well as portion control works wonders. Maybe he should join Dr. Oz’s Transformation Nation beginning tomorrow!

Disclaimer: I work for Weight Watchers International and I am also a lifetime member who has lost 50lbs on the plan.

Weight Watchers because it works!

I also luv my Gov.! He’s good for NJ!

[Molon Labbie]

Excess weight can be corrected; Obama’s style of governance is a permanent corruption of the soul.

I am very leery of Christie’s stance on Muslims.

[Daffynition]

Grow a thicker skin folks...no need to imagine the LSM if Palin throws her hat in. Meh.

[mewzilla]

There are millions of obese Americans. Most watch TV. Networks forget this at their peril.

[WKUHilltopper]

Everyone should listen to a woman who has a hair style reminiscent of a Nazi helmet.

“I am very leery of Christie’s stance on Muslims.”

Me too! However, we had four years of Corslime here in NJ. He destroyed private sector construction, small businesses and gave everything away to his public union buddies. It’s going to take quite awhile for Christy to clean up the mess. I think he should stay here and finish the job he started.

I'd rather have a fat patriot as president, than a scrawny , socialist phag with a fat wookie for a wife.

Finished your thoughts.

[elcid1970]

Governor Crisco (sorry, can’t resist) can always use the old rejoinder:

“Yeah, I’m fat and you’re ugly. But I can always go on a diet!”

;^)

[Jaidyn]

I reckon the food/nutrition Nazis will be neutered for a while with Christi. That is good!

[FrankR]

Yet the left fawns and oogles over fatass Michael Moore's every utterance...

[ken5050]

Fat jokes aren't the problem. If Cain continues to gain traction, and becomes the nominee, we are going to see a vicious whispering rumor campaign about C-A-N-C-E-R...is he really cured? Can we afford to elect someone who could become very ill..it's what the Dems/left do best...it will become a major, if unstated issue...

I think that Cain probably needs to address it now..head on..maybe have his doctors talk..

[Hotlanta Mike]

Levin calls him affectionately Krispy Kreme!

[glorgau]

The man makes Chester A. Arthur look like Jack LaLane.
