This is Imus on the Fox Business Channel yesterday morning. He had the candidate Chris Christie, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in New Jersey. Imus said to him, &#8216;How fat are you?\u2019 Because Corzine had been running little ads here implying that Christie is a fat slob. Sort of like what Obama has been saying about Creigh Deeds, unkempt, tie is askew, doesn\u2019t always comb his hair, looks like a slob but, boy, he\u2019s a fighter, he\u2019s a fighter.

You know, it\u2019s beneath the office he holds, and my other reaction was, hey, listen, if you\u2019re going to do it at least man up and say I\u2019m fat. You know, then afterwards he wusses out and says, oh, no, no, no, I didn\u2019t mean that. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about. Man up.
