Mitt Romney’s not going to run for the GOP nomination in 2016, meaning for now Paul Begala’s “rich guy” jabs are on hold. However, with Chris Christie still in the mix of potential candidates, “fat jokes” are still on the table:

Chris Christie's celebratory dance registered 6.2 on the Richter Scale. I suspect he's flailing around looking for someone to hug,

We’re not sure if Begala was at least partly referring to Chris Christie falling off a chair before a radio interview today:

Hey, Begala would have made the same type of joke about Hillary, right?

What goes around comes around, as they say:
