Published October 4, 2011 4:00am ET



Although Chris Christie admitted that the fat jokes by comedians were all right, as long as they were funny, he scolded columnists who questioned his weight.

“The people who pretend to be serious commentators who wrote it are among the most ignorant people I’ve heard in my life.” he said, adding that “At least the comedians don’t pretend to be serious.”

“What they do is further stigmatize people in a way that’s really irrelevant  to people’s ability to do a particular job,” he added, “Those are the people you should look down upon.”
