considering how touchy Mr. Christie is about his personal habits (like being chauffeured from the helipad to the bleachers at his son's little league game), it seems odd that he'd put someone else's rights up to a vote, and then dismiss the vote as "theater" when it doesn't come out his way. Makes me think he's one of those . . . oh, what's the word? Starts with "hippo" and ends with "crits," as I recall.

Had to pay extra at a restaurant buffet up front? Or extra because of their weight at an airport. And I'm not talking about 2 seats. Or a taxi cab can charge more because you weigh so much that it takes more gas to get you there. Or be a "good" example to have children, you must be in shape to get married. Yes civil rights are just theater.

At the theater people for rejecting him when he auditioned for the role of Edna Turnblad.
