Kate was  routinely kidded about her size/weight if the musical shorts I've
seen with  her are any indication.
Has anyone reflected on how she may have dealt with this  personally?   To 
be known and "beloved" by millions as a public  figure, and to be, 
simultaneously, the object of constant derision?  
 
And now her image will be placed on a United States postage stamp --- a  
remarkable honor. And the fat jokes continue.
