Plus-sized model, Chris Christie (R-Jersey Shore), has been tabbed to be the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention where he is expected to to berate working families by telling them “I gotcher free lunch rite’cher” while groping in the general vicinity of where he thinks his nuts reside, nestled somewhere beneath the meat apron that is the foundation for the flesh mudslide that is his upper body from which, in the humid Tampa summer, will flow rivers of sweat that will make the Johnstown flood look like a leaky toilet.
Okay. That’s all the fat jokes I have, so… Christie:
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will deliver the keynote address at next month’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL.
NBC News’ Jamie Gangel reported Wednesday that Christie would be afforded the plum speaking slot at the convention, a gig that sometimes serves as a launching pad for political figures with ambitions of higher office.
The selection of Christie, though, would seem to suggest that Christie is not likely the choice by Mitt Romney to serve as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. Typically, the keynote speaker is separate from the vice presidential nominee, who, like the presidential nominee, speaks on separate nights.
Republicans have not yet released a detailed itinerary of the speaking schedule for their convention.
Needless to say, announcing Christie first is highly unusual because everyone knows that when you’re choosing up sides, you always pick the fat kid last.
Yeah. I guess I had one more in me.
Sorry.

Hey Tbogg, kinda steppin’ over the line a little with the fat jokes, aren’t ya?
That’s what I get whenever I make the faintest reference to Christie’s girth. Thought I’d voice the concern community’s concerns so they wouldn’t have to.
You’re all welcome.
Fat jokes are generated in direct proportion to the subject of the jokes. I believe that I am due change back.
Hahahaha!
Christie = the I-live-in-a-van-down-by-the-river guy. Most excellent!
You are missed regardless and always, Chris Farley, but you would have had plenty of work this year, and we all would have had a few extra laughs amid the decay.
Wish I believed in an afterlife, where Chris is doing some skits while Molly is doing some skewering…
The tag on Christie’s pants reads “One size fits Guam”.
What?
“It’s funny because he’s fat.”
As my nom de blog indicates, I do live in Tampa (but not during the RNC) The weight of Chris Christie will be counterbalanced by the mass of hot air leaving the Tampa Bay Area in isostacy (balance for you nongeologists).
Inspired choice of photo. That is all.
They should probably book the Kennedy Space Center shuttle launch pad for safety reasons…
Shouldn’t that be “One size fits Gaul”?
What? Too classical?
A prominent NJ newspaper, about a week ago, had an article about The Great Big C’s chances for veepdom in which they quoted that well-known Judge of Men, Cal Thomas, as saying on FawkesNews that Christie’s style is “…cute for a while, but then it can come off as arrogance…”
I dispute that. Cute to whom for a while? Sure, in the first part of the article, McCain’s former strategemist Steve Schmidt, who is a northeast NJ native, said that Christie has a (get this) “tri-state area confrontational personality…He is who he is.” The idea being that, because he openly yells at and bullies people in public, he’s WYSIWYG, honest, etc., like the rest of us good, loudmouthed salt-a-the-urth folk in the NooYorkNooJerseyConnecticut (Connecticut?) metroplex. But he isn’t honest. During the gubernatorial campaign, he lied comprehensively, for instance, to various NJ environmental groups about his commitment to clean air, water, all that stuff, and they endorsed him, to their current deep chagrin.
The guy was raised in a northern NJ Sicilian-American household. I have a friend from similar background who once said she was in high school before she realized that not everyone’s mother and grandmother used “fuck” in every other sentence. Point being, what’s passable on the Jersey Shore, doesn’t pass everywhere, party affiliation notwithstanding.
Christie might be able to scare the mainstream media types that are easily intimidated by hit bullying, but I doubt his political flatulence will play well outside of that.
I call it the “FUCK ME? NO, FUCK YOU YA FAT FUCK!” response.
And remember: the same idjits that think Gov. Krispy Kreme is all that (and then some) thought that tough-guy Rudy Giuliani was Presidentin’ material.
Homeboy! I’m working in the Keys now, but I’m heading back home to Tampa for the convention. I don’t want to miss all the overfed white-meat sweating to death in August (and who decided on that? clearly, someone who’s never been to Tampa in the summer; Christie better stay indoors, he’ll melt otherwise)
“… the plum speaking slot…”
Christie was chosen for his ability to spit out the pits without pausing his speech.
I reckon this announcement gives some folks a chubby.
So to speak…
Inspired. Now I’ll never be able to watch Christie speak again without thinking of Farley and his epic Matt Foley character. Please, Mitt, please appoint Christie as something with your campaign — if nothing else, he’d make excellent ballast for all the bloated gasbags up top…
I won’t say Chris Christie is fat, but if he ever has to haul ass, he’ll have to make two trips.
…because everyone knows that when you’re choosing up sides, you always pick the fat kid last.
Ignore Juggernaut at your peril, Scrawny!
Hope this doesn’t get frontpaged else we will be awash in new applicants for site scold.
I could see myself supporting his run for president in 2016, but only if he grew muttonchops and said ‘hurumph’ at the end of every other sentence.
Thanks, thanks loads. I am certainly glad that I had dinner before being forced to contemplate that particular image. However, I shall retort with a thought to haunt your dreams, and not in a good way.
Just contemplate the image of Sarah Palin crashing the stage so that she and Christie can engage in, ah, mutual and simultaneous ragegasms. Yeah, that’s it. While on stage. Before thousands of seriously whitebread people.
I trust this will end this matter.
Good lord, did you see the previous post? Completely free of MotherShipConcernTrollism.
Fucking Awesome!
Fat chance! They’d have to come up with some PRETTY AWESOME metrosexual jokes….
I know I’m a baby-aborting Kenyan mooselman and all, but in all objectivity why do Republicans think Christie is a “star”? He fails simply on visuals. Fat jokes aside, he’s simply total fail in terms of photogenics. His politics are a fucking catastrophe as well obviously.
Republicans defend everything that makes people obese and unhealthy. They like their constituents unhealthy. And stupid.
I want to see his REAL birth certificate.
You know, the wide form…
I hope the helicopter that’s going to shuttle him between the Convention Center and his adjacent hotel is warmed up and ready.
I’m in The Keys as well! Wouldn’t venture near Tampa in the summer on a good day, let alone during the convention. It’s hot up there. Those cranky baggers are going to be doubly cranky once they hit that heat and humidity.

The Sikorsky Skycrane has a Max. load of only 20,000lbs.
Looks like CC and Sununununu are set to be mittbots attack dogs for the remainder of the campaign.
One exited gummit in shame. The other is a rather large, angry white guy who the media seem to enjoy. Im betting many murikans will not be down with CC convention antics. Just another entitled, white, pissed off fuckstick.
And while many fellow citizens are over weight too, very large politicians are a bit of a novelty. Wont work in his favor.
Chris Christie so fat, when he lays around the convention hall, he lays aroooouuuuuunnnd the convention hall.
Although I’d pay good money to see Christie do the ‘Fat Guy in a Little Coat’ bit that Farley did.
Damn you to hell, TBogg. Now I am going to be visualizing “meat apron” all day long! I hope you are fucking happy with yourself!
I assume you’ll be here all week. I also assume I should try the veal.
He fails simply on visuals. Fat jokes aside, he’s simply total fail in terms of photogenics.
Agree totally. I’m looking forward to the image gallery from Tampa, with his charming mug.
Sununu – a son of a Palestinian immigrant, born in Havana, claiming Barack Obama’s not American enough.
Meat Apron? I prefer Front Butt.
Chris Christie, always the bridewhale, and never the bride……
He’ll be an even bigger hit than Pat Buchanan was in Houston in ’92, is my prediction.
heh heh heh….he said isostacy..he he
However, to be serious, this IS a serious geologic behavior due to Gov Christie’s affect on crustal density in the Tampa area. The Ice Age ice shields compressed the underlying rock structures and forced the surface crust downward into the mantle. Even now, thousands of years later isostatic lift is causing crustal tilt and lift in northern latitudes.
While the Govner speaks in Tampa, FL will sink slightly, raising sea levels and rupturing ancient fault lines. When his helicopter struggles to take him home, isostatic lift will cause FL to rebound, unearthing primordial life from the ooze, causing earthquakes and generaly creating havoc. In other words, your normal GOP convention.
…So FL can expect increased heat and unstable air masses, and Cuba should brace for a tidal wave.
I see what you did there.
