(Newser) – Mitt Romney isn't the only one sticking his foot in his mouth at New Hampshire events: Last night, Chris Christie made what Slate calls an "offensive oral sex joke" while campaigning with Romney.

Far from downplaying the moment, the New Jersey GOP actually uploaded the video to its own YouTube account. "They seem to think his remark about 'going down' is a zinger, something to be proud of, rather than recognizing it as flagrantly demeaning, even misogynistic," writes Torie Bosch for Slate. "How would Christie have responded to male protesters saying the same thing? Probably not by changing the subject to what acts they perform in the bedroom."
