Charlie Crist is playing the Race Card in Florida, apparently, according to an article in RedState talking about the latest sleazy attack ad Crist is running against Marco Rubio — an ad that talks about the color of Rubio’s skin and calls him Cuban.
What’s most interesting about the RedState piece is that it’s the first time we’ve seen a Republican site even hint at Charlie Crist’s escapades at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
During the 2008 campaign, the MSM pushed Crist as a VP choice for McCain, wanting him on the ticket so they could spectacularly out Crist and reveal everything he did at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
All the things he wore.
Pretty things.
Nicer dresses than anything the current First Lady of the United States wears.
And that’s quite a feat, too, considering orange is such a hard color to match anything to.
Crist has run one of the most shameful, underhanded, and despicable primary campaigns we’ve ever followed. He created a bogus video attacking himself that he then alleged the Rubio campaign put out. Then, his operatives whipped up an astroturf site to hammer Rubio for making the video that Crist himself engineered.
What’s stunning to us is that a man whose entire life is a giant, orange lie dares to do such shady, nasty things to his opponent.
If we were him, we’d be terrified of being outed.
Marrying the heiress to a joke and novelty beard mail order fortune (no lie, he really did that), doesn’t irrefutably establish a man’s heterosexuality any more than marrying Katie Holmes or posing bare-chested with a bossomy, bikini-clad constituent does (shout out to Tom and Aaron).
There are four men the MSM is pushing HARD to be the Republican nominee in 2012, because the MSM knows Dr. Utopia can easily beat these four fatally-flawed candidates: Charlie Crist, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal.
We’ve met Romney and Huckabee and can tell you, honestly, we think they are good men at heart, but that they just won’t win against Dr. Utopia. Romney is too much of a flip-flopper and is too Ken Doll, boring, white bread. Huckabee is entertaining as all get-out, and he will certainly fire up the base, but he’ll alienate Independents and possibly make them sit home, since he’s perceived as too religiously zealot.
The exorcism Jindal was involved in is his fatal flaw, for anyone who can get passed his lackluster performances on TV and the ease with which he’s parodied as Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock.
Rudy Giuliani could get away with dressing up in drag and still be a credible candidate for national office.
Charlie Crist, oh he of the Green Iguana, cannot.
The quicker Republicans take Crist down and get behind Rubio, the faster you end this delusional timebomb’s national ambitions, the better it will be for everyone.
The only person we see on the field being able to take Dr. Utopia down in 2012 right now is Sarah Palin, so while you’re making your decisions about Crist, you might as well start getting behind HER too.
Sorry, Charlie, but the only President Americans want to see in a dress is an actual woman. You should count your lucky orange stars the Rubio campaign’s been kinder and less revealing about you than Democrats are (or would be in a national election).
Gay men who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Crist does not want to know what I’m going to do if I find out this is true.
Did I miss something here, though I consider myself rather politically astute--hey I do belong to FR. lol
Seriously, is this true?
I voted for Crist as a "place-holder" in the Gov's chair but Never Again.
Marco Rubio is the Only candidate for the U.S. Senator seat for Florida and he is 200% qualified to serve Floridians on Capitol Hill.
