‘Moon Over New Jersey’: Chris Matthews Mocks Chris Christie’s Weight

Newsbusters:

Hardball host Chris Matthews appeared at a local event in Washington D.C. on Thursday to trash Republican Chris Christie as too fat to be President. The Washington Examiner reported that Matthews derided the New Jersey governor, mocking, “Chris Christie is moon over New Jersey, he should not wear white shirts, I tell you that.”

He continued, “I saw him the other day and I was amazed by it, he must be 300 plus, and that’s something he’s just gotta deal with because you’re not going to say, ‘I’m going to cut the budget,’ well, how about starting with supper?”

The full interview can be heard here.

    The left and all democrats only have Chris Christie’s weight to hammer him on. They are so worried he might run for president and annihilate Obama in knowledge, ideas and in the polls. Christie is such an awesome governor, that this is all the ammo they have, just like with Sarah Palin, she was formidable, so lets make her look stupid, to make her irrelevant. Now lets make Christie’s weight an issue.

    I’d like to see how many fat comments he could come up with if he was face to face with Christie. Then I’d like to see Matthews slobber and beg him not kick his a$$.
    (Nervous Matthews – Oh! Hey Governor! Umm, I didn’t see you over there..(nervous laugh). I was just…uuhh, joking around…ya know…following the Soros script..(nervous “hehehe”)
    (Governor Christie – Oh yea? That’s real funny. Come here, I want to show you how hard I can laugh.

However, don’t forget that I believe it was Rush said that mrs clinton could not be president if photos of her in pants (and from the back) ever hit the web. We bridged the ‘racial’ divide when we (they) elected obomba, and I know michele (my belle) is doing her part to get us down to size (think she could do something for D C); I just have to think that, as overweight americans, we can get past Chris Christie’s waistline and concentrate on his message (as MLK said his character).

      When the worst thing you can say about someone has to do with his physical appearance, that someone is doing a great job as governor.

      Remember: these people cannot attack his philosophy because his philosophy is right, so they must attack his character. And, they assume that people who are overweight have character flaws. Can’t a guy just like to eat? There are much, much worse vices. Although, I suppose Mr. Matthews and company believes they should be controlling what the governor eats… They must protect us from ourselves.

      You DIRTY little CREEP Matthews who gets a thrill up his leg, when in reality he only peed on himself and thought it was a thrill. YOU bud, leave my main man, Chris Christy alone. He is probably the only REAL man on the East Coast anymore. Actually, on him, the weight isn’t really an issue in my opinion. You mean spirited people have nothing to go on, so you pick on people for other reasons and run them down on personal issues and forget it takes a brain to run Washington. As for Chris, he could crush Obama in brain power alone. It takes a real man to make correct decisions and that leaves Obama out entirely. Chris has the right beliefs and attitude, so dammit, leave him alone and stop making yourself look so idiotic. You people make me sick.

      Chris, would you please comment on the Governors ideas on cutting the states out-of-control spending.

      As a fellow fatty, kiss my fat a$$ Mathews. What does his weight have anything to do with his ability to govern? They fear Christie that is why they mock him.

      Wow. But 66% of American scientists are Democrats. If they spay and neuter their children, who will invent new erectile disfunction drugs and synthetic composites to build NASCAR race cars with? (How will your children’s children survive?)
