Breaking hard--Jim Greer has been arrested at his home. Charges currently unknown.

Update: The former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida was arrested Wednesday, and charged with grand theft and money laundering according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Greer, who was hand-picked by Gov. Charlie Crist after helping him get elected in 2006, stepped down in February. Party activists and major donors had called for his resignation over reports of lavish spending on private jets, decadent meals and entertainment.

More boy intern problems?

Good. RINOs suck. Put the idiot in jail.

Jim Greer was Charlie Crist’s hand picked sycophant. He was booted as chairman of the FL GOP earlier this year.

Sun Tan Charlie’s buddy! Maybe they can get him to turn on Charlie! Hahaha!

Quick! Time for some factless internet speculation!

I'm going with misuse of funds related to an illicit affair. I'll go with a grown woman for the affair.

Loooks like just in time.

I seem to recall some financial shenanigans regarding GOP monies and Greer.

Another nail in the coffin...I hope. Poster boy for why we need to purge the Republican Party of these embarrassments....and keep only reliable Conservatives.

Greer awarded himself and his executive director a fundraising contract that paid them about $200,000 above and beyond their RPOF salaries.

Quick! Time for some factless internet speculation!

I'm going with a raid by Arizona Police Raid to check his documentation since that's what AZ 1070 permits the authorities to do.</sarcasm>

He was pushed out of the party back in Feb., so I doubt it will reflect much on the party as a whole...not that the media won’t try to make it the biggest story since the moon landing however...(eye roll).

Live boy or dead girl?

Way, way, off!

He’s the culprit in the new blockbuster movie “Spill” directed by deep-water expert, James Cameron.

[Frantzie]

They should arrest open-border RINOs like Jeb, Crist, Rubio, Connie Mack and now McCollum.

I am voting for Rick Scott over McCollum.

[Frantzie]

The FL GOP is filled with stinking open-borders RINOs.

[NautiNurse]

Nah...he misspent lots of GOP funds.

Wasn’t he the CIA Deputy Director in Patriot Games and Clear & Present Danger?

Actually the media will be torn. They may try to bury this in their attempt to prop of their boy Crist. Meek doesn’t have a chance against Rubio without Crist, IMHO.
