Click here for linkIronic: Al Sharpton needs jailed.
As NewsBusters has been reporting, the media's obsession with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's weight has become totally absurd.
On Friday's "Morning Joe," during a discussion about obesity prompted by a pathetic column by the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson entitled "Christie's Hefty Burden," MSNBC's Al Sharpton joked, "So what I think we should do is put Governor Christie in jail for 90 days"
Let's be clear that Sharpton was joking. However, would he make such a joke if Christie was a Democrat or a woman? Or what about liberal darling Michael Moore?
*****Update: NB reader Sandy Schulz notes that Michael Kinsley went after Christie's weight Thursday evening writing at Bloomberg, "Look, I’m sorry, but New Jersey Governor Chris Christie cannot be president: He is just too fat.
*****Update II: Christie's father, wife, and brother all want him to run. Decision comes this weekend.
*****Update III: MSNBC's Martin Bashir on Thursday actually referred to Christie as "the great white hope!"
