Nature's call spares Crist censure
Palm Beach Post ^ | August 17, 2009 | George Bennett

Barry Carson's brief trip to the men's room spared Gov. Charlie Crist the embarrassment of being censured by Palm Beach County's Republican Party last week.

Carson, a Republican Executive Committee member from Jupiter, was out of the room Wednesday night and missed the vote when the rest of the committee split 65-65 on a resolution to rebuke Crist for his various departures from GOP orthodoxy...

The tie vote means the resolution failed. Carson said he would have voted for censure...

Carson said he told party leaders he was back and wanted to vote before the roll call was complete, but was ignored by county GOP Chairman Sid Dinerstein and others who were opposed to censure.

"Sid didn't want the resolution and because of my prostate problem he found a way to get it (defeated)," Carson said.

A totally unacceptable move by the GOP chairman to save Crist azz from an ambarrassing censure by a large part of his own state party!

Now don't go poking fun at Carson's prostate.

Politics as usual at the Palm Beach County Republican Party.

I was an elected Committeeman and member of the PBC REC until I was “fired” by the previous RINO GOP head!

Figures. While rank and file Republicans are largely good people, even many of the county Party apparati are infested by RINOS, as well as by people more interested in advancing their own standing in the Party structure than they are in doing the right thing. Sid Dinerstein needs to be tossed out on his can at the next Party convention.
