This image with his mouth wide open blowing hot air is quintessential Christie.
To be fair, the extra paint required to make him appear slimmer than he is probably doubles the cost of the project.
Of course it did. He had a lot more canvass to cover! 
“Christie appreciated luxury, watching the Dallas Cowboys from owner Jerry Jones’ box…”
Eagles fans in South Jersey and Giants fans in North Jersey were not amused.
The jokes write themselves…
Rubenesque physique, Rubenesque bill…
Not sure he’s blowing hot air in this case. I’m pretty confident there’s a jumbo Philly cheesesteak just outside the frame.
Or a Krispy Kreme shop…
Probably because of the licensing fee to include all that Springsteen stuff.
It’s here, done already, just saved NJ $85K:
More paint, more canvas and he couldn’t even find an American painter to capture his fat ass…and the only one left that could’ve captured eau de toilette and essence of Christie on canvas, is dead.
That beach shot is the essence of Christie and should be preserved for posterity: Here sprawls the arrogant Bully-Boy, aka Chris Christie.
As for the jokes? Yes, they write themselves LOL.
Mr. Christie, it’s the Garden State, not the Olive Garden State!! (hat tip to Jimmy Kimmel)
Is the portrait a triptych? That’s about the only way they’d get all of Christie in it.
Plus that’s a lot of money for the least favorable governor in the entire country. When he left office, he had a 14% approval rating. **
14%!!!

A bargain if you consider he is 4 times the size of a typical man.
To be even fairer…the extra paint required to simply capture all of his body probably tripled the costs 
Donnie’s not going to let that abysmal rating go unchallenged… He’s a single digit kind of guy…
The extra money was required to fully capture his… enormous… magnificence.
