Democratic New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine appeared on the local Fox morning program Good Day New York, where he continued to hammer Republican nominee Chris Christie on issues like the economy, pre-school funding, health care, and support for President Obama.

Corzine also denied allegations that he’s attacked Chris Christ’e weight, which originated from an ad saying that Christie “threw his weight around” to get out of trouble in a traffic accident when he was U.S. Attorney.

Corzine told host Greg Kelly: “Greg, I couldn’t give a hoot about his weight. And when the issue was raised about one given ad, it was about his driving down a one-way street, hitting somebody on a motorcycle, putting the fella in the hospital, and not getting a traffic ticket. How many of the viewers would hit somebody going down a street, on a one-way — he’s going the wrong way, hits somebody, put him in the hospital, wouldn’t get a ticket. Flashed his credentials, and I think that the whole point was one set of rules, and another set of rules for somebody else.”
