I didn't write the headline: NY Post: "The Whale At The Wall-Christie Weighs In At Israel Holy Site"

1. I have to rec this for the headline alone.

Truth in journalism is a rare thing anymore.

[monmouth]

2. They also refer to Olbermann as "that gasbag." n/t

[Politicalboi]

3. So what's wrong with it

LOL! Perhaps this reporter is a Teabagger. Wail, Whale, Descent, Dissent. What's the difference. LOL!

4. Calling him a whale is an insult to whales. He's a beachball.

[bigtree]

5. it's still not okay to rag on his weight

. . . right?

Looks like just a crack on his 'weigh(t)' Not cool.

[RebelOne]

8. I agree. Why do people concentrate on appearances? n/t

[DearAbby]

9. Have to agree with you there

Women aren't sluts, men aren't pricks, fat people aren't whales,...Why not accept people as they are, stop this already.

[Logical]

10. A lot of rude/insensitive people on DU are fine with making fun of people. Unbelievable.

[MoonRiver]

6. The "whaling" wall.

[madokie]

7. If thats not been photoshopped

I won't give him much more time here. What would his belt size be, a 54 incher?

[malaise]

11. I must say that when I saw the first photo I almost

asked which one was the wall.

[NNN0LHI]

12. I am sure that was just an innocent typo

[fascisthunter]

13. fuck him

we know he is trying to suck up to the fundamentalists in Israel...

[Chorophyll]

14. I can't stand him, but that's pretty despicable.

And we wonder how our kids learn to be bullies? For fuck's sake, America is full of fat people. I'm sure there are more than a few DUers on the "plus" side.

[Behind the Aegis]

15. I don't find this amusing at all.

I don't like the man. I have made plenty of rude remarks about overweight people in my time, on occasion, still do, but to write a piece that is supposed to be journalism and fill it with "fat jokes" is just TACKY!

Disgusting!

[MrScorpio]

16. It's the NY Post, what did you expect...

Journalistic integrity?

[Behind the Aegis]

17. Isn't it supposed to be a real newspaper?

[MrScorpio]

18. Sure... Real as in the sense that Fox is supposed to be a real news network

Besides, they're both owned by Unca' Rupe.

[Behind the Aegis]

19. Oh, that explains much, but sadly doesn't explain some of the comments.

Oh well.
