Feel free to pick on the fat?

I love a good joke. But today I was listening to a podcast from NPR and it had no less than 5 mins of fat jokes about Chris Christy ( the NJ governor elect, who is a big guy). And the crowd was laughing. And I thought to myself. WTF? I actually started to feel a little sorry for Chris Christy.
If these jokes were about a Jewish Governor? Or a Black Governor? or A Gay Governor? Or a Spanish Drawf ?
People would be matching on the radio's headquarters. Demanding an apology. But its fat jokes so that's ok??
In a world that is so polictically correct - how is it ok to pick on the fat? I could see it 25 years ago when fat folks were in the minority but today more than 50% of the US population is at least overweight.
