How do we know when the show’s over, anyway?

EDITED: I forgot the link!

Michael Kinsley can kiss my ass.

Seriously. Chris Christie can’t be President because he’s fat? Really?

If Christie becomes the Republican nominee for President next year, I won’t vote for him. But that will be because of the insane beliefs of the Republican party, not because of the girth of its nominee. That’s it. For me, it’s ideas and policy, not anything else.

To make it easy, here is a list of qualities that make zero difference in my weighing a person for their Presidential potential:

Fat
Thin
Black
White
Asian
Male
Female
Married
Single
Has kids
Has no kids
Gay
Straight
Catholic
Protestant
Jewish
Muslim
Confucian
Atheist
Mormon

I could go on. In truth, I’ve never been a big fan of Michael Kinsley, and this certainly does not enhance my view of him. What a dumb-assed article. I hope Kinsley meant it as a joke, because if he didn’t….
