Does Chris Christie's Surgery Look Like A Magic 8-Ball?

May 7, 2013 By WHC Insider

Gov. Chris Christie and Secretary Shaun Donovan

Politico asks the question no one ever wondered: “What Chris Christie’s surgery means for 2016(?)”

It’s a story that hasn’t seemed to change anything about the New Jersey governor’s political legacy, despite constantly being brought up. Literally, Politico ran the fact that most New Jersey voters don’t care about his weight back in March. It goes to other sites too: HuffPost has been tracking “Chris Christie Weight” since 2011. Throw “Christie Weight” into Google, immediately get 22 million results from the last few hours.

So just why is the good governor’s health so concerning to us? Because it’s yet another dark horse for the 2016 presidential race. Going into the hows and whys of Christie deciding to privately have a surgery when his weight has been such a–sorry–massive issue to even be mocked on Letterman.

Maybe a surgery can just be a surgery and not turn itself into a monsoon in 2016.
