He needs to eat some more ice cream and self-medicate.

Unfortunately he is as conservative as you are likely to get in New Jersey.

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
I know Christie is not popular and I don't like him much myself but I think it is a shame folks have to go after his weight. Being heavy doesn't make him a bad politician but I guess it is an easy/convenient thing to attack.

Yeah, I've seen/heard some conservatives mention Michael Moore's weight while attacking him. I don't like it there, either.SQLGeek wrote:I know Christie is not popular and I don't like him much myself but I think it is a shame folks have to go after his weight.

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
Funny how we detest political correctness about almost everything, ah, unless we're fat...
No one's fat anymore, we're "heavy" or "large", but heavens we're never 'fat'.
Yeah, sure...
The other popular p.c. word or term is "pass" or "passed on" because no one "dies" or "died" anymore.
Fat or dead cannot be said - too close to the truth I guess...

No, it's just attacking the messenger instead of the message.Abraham wrote:Funny how we detest political correctness about almost everything, ah, unless we're fat...

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
It's not a matter of political correctness, it is childish and doesn't do anything to help support one's argument. When someone has to start attacking someone's weight, skin color and other personal physical traits, I start to wonder about their credibility and message.

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
Oh my, the word "FAT" does stir up some folks...
If, in the course of reporting about a particular story the reporter describes the subject as trim, slender, or even svelte, no one seems to mind, but utter the word "FAT" (sudden deep breath inhalation) and people become quite sensitive.
I'm sorry, but "FAT" is a perfectly reasonable word.
Now, "Blubbery" might be viewed as derogatory, maybe...

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
So is "stupid" but it doesn't do anything to support one's argument about gun control.

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
Right you are.
When applicable, stupid is another perfectly reasonable and descriptive word, though the very sensitive have a difficult time of it when applied...

Re: Chris Christie to the rescue
There is a long and vigorous history of insulting politicians in American culture. When a malfeasant idiot presumes to feed at the public teat, their decision to enter public life makes them fair game for virtually any odious insult.
I don't apologize a bit for referring to him as a self-medicating food addict.
Thomas Jefferson's critique of President John Adams included the accusation that he was "a hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."
Adams responded with having Jefferson described as "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father ... raised wholly on hoe-cake (made of coarse-ground Southern corn), bacon, and hominy, with an occasional change of fricasseed bullfrog. ..."
Modern American political vitriol doesn't even begin to hold a candle on the contemptuous insults hurled daily in the British parliament.
