The only problem I have with this post is that considering the state of the union, your government/retards analogy is an extremely poor one – and offensive to retards.

“Plus size”??!! Fat is fat. There’s nothing to be proud of. Fat people burden our healthcare system like a giant terds in a toilet bowl – you just can’t get rid of them. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, atherosclerosis, stroke, meds, meds, meds. Making people feel better about being fat?? Worst. Idea. Ever. If I was lazy and decided not to shower for 3 years, no one would like me, and I would feel pretty bad. but if I was lazy and decided not to work out or eat moderately healthy for 3 years, maybe I could be on a magazine cover! Only in America…

Let me start by saying that I cried in the bathroom today. Next, the uncivil tone of this forum unsettles me. As far as I knew, it was still socially acceptable to make fun of rednecks, fat people, and the mentally ill. The next thing I know, I’m reading the responses to this well constructed article and I see poisonous venom flowing from the keyboards of their loyal readers. While I disagree with the Senator, I respect and defend his right to say whatever his conscious prompts him to say. Personally, I have always found fat chicks, chicks with slight birth defects, and women on the verge of drunken unconsciousness to be very generous lovers. The picture of this generously proportioned nymph stirs my sole and moves me in places that my fingers can’t reach. I do believe that the Senator is overlooking an obvious fact about his concern that the potential fallout of this magazine cover will be the slippery slope of electing a mentally ill person to high office out of pity. I would like to ask the Senator to reflect on the presidency of George W. Bush–we have already elected Corky and look where we are now. My real problem with this whole issue can be found on Glamour’s own website–I urge all readers to look at http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/2009/08/how-to-never-have-another-fat-day#slide=1 The whole article, in the same issue, talks about How to never have a fat day again –the conclusion–being fat is all in your head. No, it’s all in your thighs, tummy, cankles, and the rolls of fat that make the back of your neck look like a pack of hot dogs. In sum, find someone who will still love you when you have patches of hair sprouting all over your back that makes you look like a bear who has survived a nuclear winter. Chillaxe

everything i do is insensitive and inflammatory. why utilize multi-syllabic, politically correct language when “fat chicks” rolls off the tongue so nicely?
