New Jersey Governor Chris Christie must be getting tired of the fat jokes routinely lobbed in his direction by the liberal media.

While doing a news conference Friday, he refused to answer a reporter's question about Hostess Twinkies saying instead, "I'm on Saturday Night Live enough" (video follows with transcript and commentary, photo courtesy Getty Images):

GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE (R-NEW JERSEY): Really, seriously, you’re not asking me about Hostess Twinkies, are you? What’s it called, what’s the next question? David, what do you got? I’m not answering a question about. You know, there’s so much. I'm on Saturday Night Live enough. You think you’re getting me, you think you’re getting me behind this microphone having me talk about Twinkies? This is a setup, man, I know it! You people are the worst! This is a setup! I am not answering questions on Twinkies, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's bad enough that I even said the word “Twinkie” from behind this microphone. You know? You’re not getting me to do that. No way. David? And don’t go to Devil Dogs, David. Don’t try it.

I don't know about you or the Governor, but I always preferred Devil Dogs.
