It would look tacky for Crist to appoint himself, so he does the next best thing.  Appoints a guy closest to him to keep his seat warm for when he runs for election in 2010.  He's a McCain apologist and a RINO.

George Lemieux is the pick to replace martinez.

The man is crist’s former chief of staff.

He declared himself a “Charlie Crist Republican,”.

IOW crist will be running the show and Lemiew WHO NEVER SERVED IN PUBLIC OFFICE will be an empty suit.

IOOW RINO POOP from a RINO.

Crist not the only Fl pol ‘out’ in new film

Outrage, a new documentary that skewers closeted, anti-gay pols, features revealing interviews with openly gay politicians such as U.S. Reps. Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin and warriors of the gay rights movement like Larry Kramer and Michelangelo Signorile.

But Florida political junkies will delight in seeing more familiar names. There’s lots of footage of Gov. Charlie Crist on the campaign trail, including a scene from a memorable 2006 debate against Democrat Jim Davis and Reform party candidate Max Linn. Crist’s former chief of staff, George LeMieux, is briefly on screen, as is former Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

REMEMBER:!!!!

The Miami Herald is the newspaper that kept Mark Foley’s homosexual life a secrent as a way of preserving their newspaper’s “access” to congress...

(IOW blackmail)

Here is a closetted staffer who is equally vulnerable.

This could be crist’s waterloo.
