Gov. Chris Christie and his Michael Dukakis moment: political death by photograph ... by gimleteye

EOM readers of a certain age will recall the 1988 presidential campaign in which the late Michael Dukakis was done in by a photograph. The Bush campaign used it mercilessly.

"Dukakis in the tank" remains shorthand for backfired public relations outings by politicians.

And boy did Chris Christie take one the other day. Right now on Facebook, the funniest commentary on the internet is tied to this photo. If you want to see what viral looks like, go find it.

Take a look back at the history of US Presidents. It has been a LONG time since we have had an obese President. This is merely a statement of fact and not a condemnation of those that carry a few extra pounds.

Actually today Chris Christie is svelte compared to what he used to be. He's not Jeb Bush svelte, but he is a testament to will power. Only he just should never, ever have gotten into that uniform. Now an umps uniform? He could have been the "ump on the stump"! Unfortunately, the toothpaste in this case is out of the tube.

Christie just had his Dukakis moment. Like Dukakis he will never recover.
