When hug becomes a kiss of death
The Politico ^ | November 17, 2009 | Carol E. Lee

Posted on 11/17/2009 6:09:58 AM PST by libstripper

Charlie Crist is getting killed by a hug.

The Republican governor is being bombarded with images of him hugging President Barack Obama when he was in Florida to pitch his $787 billion economic stimulus plan earlier this year.

In just the past two weeks, that hug has appeared in an ad by the conservative Club for Growth attacking Crist, in a Democratic National Committee e-mail highlighting his recent assertion that he actually didn’t “endorse” the stimulus bill and in headlines all over Florida, including one Wednesday that read: “Charlie Crist needs to figure out a way to undo a hug.”

Heh. Crist certainly has that black rose and violin case look doesn’t he?

Two androgynous politicians. Maybe next time they hug, Bawney Fwank can referee?

Bawney would love to be the bologna in their sandwich.

Oh horsefeathers, let Crist die politically of his own merit (or rather, lack thereof). This is not a worm can we are wise to open. We don’t see the Rats complaining that Bummer hugged George W. Bush.

Ah, the memories of England’s Edward II and how he eventually “celebrated diversity” at Pontefract Castle.

Go away Charlie. Mark Rubio will do the heavy lifting from here on in.

You’re toast.

Looka at Charlie's face in the photo.

He has that "I Could Have Danced All Night" look.

Go ahead & laugh; but, at least there was some semblance of safety being in that damned castle. For a while. For some. Sometimes. LOL!!

A modern day analogy might be: As healthy as a broke culture can be.
~Or something along that line? ;^) LOL

Didn’t Florida vote for Obama? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

The GOP establishment is supporting Crist big time. Rubio needs support from conservatives. His internet site is at: http://www.marcorubio.com/.

Please Google “Edward II” and “Pontefract Castle.” You might find Edward was a little less safe during his somewhat biref stay there than you might think.

how about this... underneath the picture of the hug, put a caption that says...

crist tries to stop obama from bowing too low to the saudi king.

perhaps that will do it.

"Please Google 'Edward II' and 'Pontefract Castle.'"

Thanks libstripper, would you believe I did. Really. LOL
My comment was couched in a little sarcasm, is all.
No disrespect intended. ;^)

"You might find Edward was a little less safe during his somewhat biref stay there than you might think."

Yes the King was a sweetie, alright.
Lots of people died in his dungeons etc.
I'd keyed on the word, "castle".
No to worry, I got it.
And thanks again for the, little shove? :^)

They really knew how to “celebrate diversity” back then.

They sure did.
No 'Liberal' problem, or any other type FTM.

A good ol' fashioned castle sure would come in handy, today. LOL
