Christie To Corzine: Just Say I’m Fat

ChrisChristieThe Republican in New Jersey’s race for governor wants the incumbent to weigh in more candidly about the challenger’s heft. Chris Christie says Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine should quit hinting at his weight with unflattering ads and “Man up and say I’m fat.” Christie also told radio personality Don Imus he’ll be “a big, fat winner” on Election Day. “I’m pretty fat,” Christie deadpanned on Imus’s New York-based radio show Thursday morning. Asked by Imus, he joked he weighed 550 pounds. Christie, who won’t say what he weighs, said he’s helped keep Dunkin’ Donuts employees working during the recession.

His weight became an issue in September when Corzine launched an ad accusing the former federal prosecutor of “throwing his weight around” to get out of traffic tickets. AP

What respectable person makes dumb jokes about how fat he is?

anon: agreed. But Corzine never made a joke about Christie being fat. I for one think there is no need to…

‘Throwing your weight around’ is a very common expression in English. Just google it. Christie here is just trying to be cute.
