So we wake up today and the world is all a-flutter about how Chris Christie had weight reduction surgery. (Yeah, yeah, we know people were talking about it last night, but we were busy watching the Met Gala and trying to figure out what the hell Beyonce was wearing.
sjp and katy perry (yes i really mean that) and madonna kinda nailed the 'punk' thing. everyone else seemed to think it was tangentially related to cat woman.
madonna of course was around the first time so i'm not sure that really counts.
Quite late in jumping into this discussion, and seriously, shame on me for that, but I just wanted to add my $0.02. To wit: I'm with you, bloggette Snipy, on this bit of news. This is a pure, unalloyed Good Thing. Bravo, Governor, and best wishes.
In the past two generals, the GOP has nominated an unexpectedly non-TP, vaguely centrist candidate with a long record of crossing the aisle. They have then proceeded to destroy their own candidate's chances by forcing him to the extreme right until he's unelectable.
With luck the newer, slimmer Handsome Chris will be #3.
We are doing our best to export him entirely. Unfortunately, Obama canceled the rendition program, so Romania is no longer an option. That leaves Jersey.
If Christie were losing the weight for personal reasons of health, I'd say sure, let's getall nicetime on the guy, whatever.
But he has spent the past 4 or 5 years publicly and vehemently refusing to do anything of the kind. Now, just about 2 years out from the start of the 2016 election campaign, he is all Gotta Be Lookin' Good for teh cameras. Perfect timing if he wants to look good in 2016 and then gain it all back later.
Because being whale-sized is definitely gonna affect his run: too many media jerkasses wondering if he has any personal discipline, self-control, whatever other crap gets said about very obese people.
So sorry, no ersatz nicetime for faking a desire to be healthy.
But here's a genuine Chris Christie nicetime: today he FINALLY reversed himself and signed a NJ Good Samaritan law that prevents people from being prosecuted if they call EMS when someone overdoses on illegal drugs. Finally, after resisting for years. Possibly because virtually no one dislikes these laws, and being opposed to them isn't useful for a POTUS run.
They're already ramming too much stuff down their own throats -- that's the problem.
me personally i was wondering WTF allison williams was wearing.
i pretty much got what madonna was wearing and she's had it in her closet since 1983.
right?

Taft's bathtub?
Did he get a second stomach put in?

In the words of George Costanza: Shrinkage.

Thanks to Giuliani, they don't pay city taxes anymore.

Oops there I go again! Sorry.
He had to do it. It was a question of his NOMinability.
so that's why Newt is so hot to be the first Lunar governor
maybe instead of surgery he should have just scheduled breakfasts with Dennis Prager
So it&#039;s better to be a <i>trim</i> obnoxious a-hole than a <i>fat</i> obnoxious a-hole?
Chris Christie -- meet Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum, and Newt, oops, never mind.
