Chris Christie: I will ORDER your Olive Garden waiter to send YOUR unlimited breadsticks to MY table

[Miles Archer]

Just when I think Christie can't push the envelope any further, he comes out with a statement like this. Reprehensible.

1. You lost me on this one, the one thing I would like not to do is go after him for being overweight

there is SO much legitimate stuff to go after

Like he is a piece of shit bully who needs a slapping

[Miles Archer]

2. Actually had nothing to do with his weight, believe it or not...

...I was thinking more in terms of what would be the stupidest power grab I could think of.

If you scan all of my posts, you won't find any from me attacking Christie over his weight. I've had a few weight problems myself in life, I don't find humor in it.

I pretty much attack him for being a bully and an asshole and that's it. Barging into Olive Garden and denying someone of their unlimited breadsticks seemed like a full-fledged asshole move.

3. I agree. Cut that crap out. Christie is an asshole, plain and simple. Let's leave it at that.

[Miles Archer]

11. Glad you agree. Try reading my follow-up post.

Thanks, and "have a nice day"

[lame54]

14. I don't agree...

fuck that guy

I've heard some laugh out loud jokes concerning his weight

no apologies here

[libodem]

6. Good Point!

Fat jokes are cheep shots no matter how corrupt and contemptible the villain.

Go after his record.

[Miles Archer]

7. It wasn't a fat joke, and if you read my reponse to the accusation that it was, you'd know that

It is possible to have nuances in life...everything is not always black and white. You can make a joke about an obese guy being a prick without his obesity being the joke. I didn't say Christie was going to EAT the breadsticks. Matter of fact, it would be funnier if he DIDN'T....just let them sit there on the corner of his table.

So once again, I have no control over how things are taken here, but I'm not going to cop to posting a "fat joke," because I didn't. Period.

16. "I didn't say Christie was going to EAT the breadsticks."

This is really getting pathetic. Just delete the stupid post.

[Adrahil]

23. I believe you didn't intend it...

... But it's the first thing that crossed my mind: fat joke.

Just say oops and move on.

[misterhighwasted]

4. I believe him. Hide your breadsticks!!!

The RW is just so weird!

[oberliner]

5. Can we stop with the fat jokes?

Seriously, this post should be deleted.

[Miles Archer]

8. And you didn't take the time to read my response.

It's not a fat joke.

Seriously.

Because I can tell how serious you are.

[oberliner]

12. The total content of the post is a line about him demanding unlimited breadsticks...

and a photo where he looks particularly overweight.

What is the point?

[Miles Archer]

15. I owe you an explanation? Really? Skinner died and made you boss?

The point is that you've made your point and I've explained this as much as I intend to. My recommendation to you is to put me on your ignore list.

[oberliner]

18. Of course not

I don't put people on ignore lists. That defeats the purpose of being on a discussion board.

If you'd like to expand on whatever point you want to make about Christie, I'd be up for hearing it, but I strongly urge you to delete this OP.

19. You appear to be ineffectively hiding behind implication...

You appear to be ineffectively hiding behind implication... regardless of how serious one may or may not be.

20. Even if unintentional - no reason to disbelieve him despite his rudeness - can be easily misinterpreted.

[charlyvi]

9. I think he's actually lost weight since that picture.

He needs to lose more, but he's not as heavy as he was in this picture. Of course, what difference does being thin mean if you're still a bullying asshole.

[KamaAina]

10. So what's his position on breastfeeding? Smoking? Pit bulls?

[Miles Archer]

13. I think I'm just gonna go straight to Hillary and piss EVERYONE off

Jesus H. Christ, how many times to I have to post "this is not a fat joke" before people will stop high-fiving each other over slamming me for making a fucking fat joke I didn't make?

Move over. I'm hiding too.

[KamaAina]

17. I read it as an Olive Garden joke.

[madinmaryland]

21. Don't forget about Asian woodcarvers!

[GOLGO 13]

22. Now that you all mention it

He is kinda...fat. From an observational point of view of course.
