Monmouth County Freeholder John Curley was reported to have called Governor
Christie of New Jersey a "fat fuck", causing the inevitable hurt feelings.
He has responded by saying that he had actually called Christie a "fat
motherfucker".

This was in connection with the devastation caused in New Jersey by the
hurricane a few years ago.  His statement was reported to have been  “Who
does that fat fuck think he is? He has nothing but press conferences while
we are out here doing the work.”
