Gov. Christie Calls Out Letterman For Latest Fat Joke

TRENTON, NJ (CBS) – New Jersey's outspoken governor Chris Christie is lashing out against "Late Show" host David Letterman.

The Governor, who recently had weight loss surgery, threw a barb on Twitter Wednesday after Letterman reportedly made fun of him for being named "Father of the Year" by the National Father's Day Council.

Oh @letterman, I'm really gonna miss your fat jokes. Wait, no I'm not. #ColbertNation pic.twitter.com/oRZIhMg7ig

Christie was reportedly responding to comments from the comedian's Tuesday show that included jokes about the word "fat" being a part of "father."

The portly politician also included the hashtag #ColbertNation, seemingly proffering support to Stephen Colbert, who will be taking over Letterman's job next year.
