The editor is on the record saying the joke is about 1/3 each his size, his stance in the news, and the GOP symbol....
How many times has Christie joked himself about his weight (i.e. donuts on Letterman)
I don't think it is fear, I think it is selling issues. Was it a bit on the nose or over the top, probably.
Personally, I think the fringe is far more fearful of Christie than the left; see Rand Paul and Cruz's recent comments. I'll respect the hell out of him IF he runs without making the Mitt Romney 'I'm a SEVERE Conservative' pander to the far right.
