P.S. President Reagan used to joke about Tip O’Neil’s weight all the time and nobody complained.

“I get my workout in every morning. I just jog twice around Tip O’Neil.” —Ronald Reagan

Making fun of a person’s medical condition is not funny

Fat is a lifestyle choice, not a medical condition.

Making fun of a person’s medical condition is not funny. Ever. Period.


Choosing to eat way too much and not exercise sufficiently is not a “medical condition.” It’s the result of a free choice.

The problem is that Letterman doesn’t mock democrats. It’s a strategy of his to go after Republicans that he thinks could win.

He put down Sarah Palin every night for years, and democrats thought that was funny too.

He said Sarah sports a “slutty flight attendant look.”

Letterman “joked” that Sarah Palin’s daughter was “knocked up” by A-Rod during the seventh inning stretch when they attended the Yankees game.

Letterman made a min-crusade out of mocking Palin.

Letterperv has been irrelevant for many years. He’s a crass, rude, ugly man, inside and out.

I like Christie...in New Jersey. I watched his speech, it was ok....but he’s no Marco Rubio.

If Rubio gets picked for VP, Letterman will find a way to go after him. That’s who he is.

Maybe Christie will punch back and point out Letterman’s shortcomings.

I’d like to start a Top 10 list of uses for the gap in Letterman’s front teeth.

Anyone?

I basically agree with you, although I have to admit I thought "Secretary of Cake" was funny. I agree that a tendency to be overweight is a medical condition. Now that it's Chris Christie, everyone is getting religion about this. But mostly on FR, obesity is ascribed solely to a lack of willpower.

BTW I have never had to worry about this condition.

I think it's funny as comedy goes, but going deeper....that's all they've got. They don't have a thing to attack Christie on, so it comes down to....."Oh yeah? Well, um, well you're a big fat fattie!"

Remember who we are dealing with. If they were children, that would be diffrent, but they are simply adults with diseased minds who may as well be children.

The media was not kind to William Howard Taft either. He still got the White House though.

And some still have something to say about it.

These guys are excellent.....

I don’t know who made that up, but it would be the ideal bumper sticker

I made it up and you can use it without attribution!

Huskster, being of the fat community, is encouraged. He’s skinner than Christie and so are his sons.

“This is an un-reported election advertisement. It is illegal.”

How can it be an “election advertisement” when Christie is not running for any elected office?

This is how they get these lists.. people submit them in a contest. He doesn’t come up with anything.

That's interesting...

Letterman does have a bunch of writers, though, who must have been coming up with that anti-Palin stuff night after night the last few years.

I’ll take white and fat. How’s black and skinny working out?

It worked out ok for black and skinny. His aim for destroying the country is on schedule.
