'We've got to spur our economy, Don. Dunkin' Donuts, IHOP, those people have to work, too!"
I have no idea whether it's a good idea for a Republican gubernatorial candidate, aiming for votes in New Jersey, to appear on Don Imus's radio program. (I take it the Rutgers women's basketball team wasn't a likely swing vote.)
But there was something really enjoyable about Christie's appearance, a note made by Ace of Spades and AllahPundit. Enough to swing an election? Eh, who knows; I don't know if Imus's show is the program of supreme political influence that it once was.
But it's just plain funny to hear Christie respond, when asked his weight, "Five hundred and fifty pounds."
I like how he said Corzine "wusses out" by insisting his ad wasn't meant to mock Christie's weight.
Best line: "I'm feeling good, Don . . . I think I am setting an example. We have to spur our economy, Don. Dunkin' Donuts, International House of Pancakes — those people need to work, too."
