    Is this guy freaking kidding me? I mean, he's not wrong, but who does he see when he looks in the mirror?

  • I don't like Christie to begin with, but it really takes some nerve to tell someone to lose weight when you have over 100 lbs to lose yourself.

  • I understand that people in the military are held to a higher standard in terms of physical fitness, but it is ironic coming from Christie.

    Christie had a gastric band surgery a couple years ago and is still grossly overweight - so he doesn't really have room to criticize.

    Christie is pretty much done for anyway. He won't win re-election in 2017 in NJ and he won't win the white house.

    Of course he's got the right to criticize. He's an elected official. I'm a fat guy myself and I've got bad knees. I think I have the right to bitch if someone from my police or fire department is a fat slob like I am. It isn't my job to do any of the shit they do.

    If I'm directing a theater project of Peter Pan I think I'd have the right to tell whoever's in the starring role to lose a few pounds.

    Bill Parcells has every right to tell his players to get into shape.

  • Pot meet kettle. But Steve has a valid point. The military has height/weight standards as well as physical fitness test standards. This guy is the leader of the NJ National Guard is is grossly overweight, and dodging physical fitness tests. Not like Christie has to take a physical fitness test to be governor.

  • I dont' think he had much of a choice, the national guard guy was dodging fitness tests so there's probably some rule that the governor of the state has to issue some sort of reprimand and/or ultimatum. I "guarantee" this is not something Christie wanted to do. He knows how the optics of this look. But it is the military so they're held to a different standard than him. Pox on him though if he somehow feels like this isn't hugely ironic.

  • Good points per usual, Steve. I still don't like Christie and it's not just his physical appearance.

  • Good Saturday night live material for sure.

    He lost points with me for going against the grain in the last election, I thought I could handle that a lot better. But I saw him recently on a Sunday morning show and I like him alright.

    What in particular don't you like?

    I don't like that he thinks spying on Americans is OK in order to keep us safe. Also, he is against legal marijuana, which I think could be a great boost to this country's economy. His demeanor does not appeal to me either.

    I do think he would be a hardass commander in chief, but that's all the good I can say about Christie.

    Now, as a future MD should you be writing this type of story about a 'weight challenged' individual? Shame on you.

  • Warrant, not warrent

  • There's fitness standards in the military. It is what it is. You can't tell Kim whatever her name is to do her job and turn a blind eye to this guy not doing his.

  • But he is a fat amorphous blob of a man.

    If he wins do you think he will have Rand Paul frozen in Carbonite and on display at the white house?
  • My problems with Christie go back to the last presidential election. At the GOP convention Christie was honored with getting a prime speaking slot which I felt he spent too much time promoting himself and not enough time attacking Obama.

    Then about a week before the election he had Obama come to New Jersey for lots of great publicity and hugs after hurricane Sandy. The race was tight at this point with Obama and Romney close in the polling and the love fest with Christie and Obama and all the publicity on national news might have been the difference in the election? Anyway Christie got rewarded by Obama with Bruce Springsteen calling him from Air Force One and Christie got to talk with his rock idol (and democratic activist).

    Some of us don't forget and I think that is why he is not doing any better running as a presidential candidate.
