when people are calling him fat ass and discussing his weight. I suppose it would only matter if he was a woman? The double standard is amazing. He has quite enough faults with out needing to mention the fat factor.

He's REALLY outsized, and like the other poster, I'm no "skinny minnie" either, but this

is bizzare.

You can only IMAGINE what they'd say about a woman!

or a "lard ass" or what have you. It seems if a man comments on a woman's physical appearance it is labeled as sexist. Sorry, I do see a double standard. I do agree as a chubby woman, that a female with the same proportions would have a hell of a time getting elected,(I know because I am treated quite differently than when I was 115lbs which was 50lbs ago) but that really wasn't what I was commenting on. The only reason that this has me thinking is because of a conversation/debate I had with a dear old friend. He is overweight and is positive that he has been alone much of his adult life because of it. Woman are not the only ones to "be held prisoner by superficiality and unrealistic body image" and that men are attracted to a woman for physical beauty and women attracted to men for "intelligence and sense of humor" It is basically all bull. Both are attracted to physical appearance. I know I am. I like good looking men. This is basically a ramble but I am trying to hurry and get to the point, for I am in a rush to get to the supermarket. Hopefully to see some hot guys" Hehe. I couldn't resist. Anyway, I'm sure Ill get in trouble for my sexist comments.

but you certainly won't get into trouble with me for "sexist comments", as I don't

think you made any.

I agree that women "go for" physical appearance too, but not as MUCH as men.

I think that a woman HALF Christie's size would get TWICE the grief he gets

for his weight.

I get your point, it's just that he's such a condescending asshole and he,

unlike a woman that size, I suspect, suffers from NO lack of confidence.

Unlike your friend, he IS married, and he IS "successful" and he's an insulting wise-ass on top of it.

Someone calls out & asks about jobs, one of the main concerns of most constituents, & this is his answer?

"Something’s going down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart"

What the fuck does he even mean?

And Sweetheart? What a condescending ass. I would have flipped him off.

Though maybe it sounded to him like "Christie goes down", hence the snappy comeback.
