I think this all much ado about nothing (or very little anyway). But it is an interesting question to ask: would the Sun (or whatever paper this was) have been as likely to run the same headline if it was an overweight male health minister? I don't actually know the answer but I wouldn't be shocked to learn that the answer is "no" (probably impossible to actually measure though). Anyone recall any headlines mocking Klein's weight?
