Letterman: "Usually when Christie talks for 45 minutes, it’s into the clown face at Jack in the Box"

As New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) knows well by this point, fat jokes tend to follow him. And while it does get old, late night talk show host David Letterman still does it better than anyone else.

“Chris Christie will be giving a 45 minute speech [to the RNC],” Letterman said Tuesday night. “Now, usually when Chris Christie talks for 45 minutes, it’s into the clown face at Jack in the Box.”

He added that the theme of the RNC was to be “A Better Future,” but the theme of Christie’s speech was “A Butter Future,” then aired a clip of Christie speaking and making a chocolate sundae at the same time.

This video was broadcast by CBS on Tuesday, August 28, 2012.

1. Insensitive to large people, IMHO. unrec. nt

2. While I'm not as big as Christy, I found it pretty damn funny.

3. I'm not a little woman and I thought it was funny as Hell.

4. It is no different then having a little laugh at Dennis Rodman's tattoos or something like that.

I don't have much hair, and I'm not offended by bald jokes.

Just because there is humor, it is not necessarily mean-spirited. I don't think Letterman's bit was mean-spirited.

If Christie is bothered by this -- and I seriously doubt he is -- he has the option of putting some priority on taking off a couple hundred pounds.

5. Maybe he and Rush could co-host a radio program - if they could find a large enough studeo.

6. He *looks* like the giant head from Jack In The Box.
