PJ-Comix,

Yea, I've noticed the little facial tics as well. Aparently it is perfectly acceptable for politicians to be lunatics in the state of Florida. Do you remember Lawton Chiles? Unless I'm wrong, they actually DID institutionalize Chiles for a period of his life and he was elected again AFTER a trip to the looney bin!!!

The nuttiest of all Florida politicians had to have been Claude Kirk, the Republican governor back in the 1960s. I have a book here about him. Even the Republicans pretty much disowned him before his term of office was over. And Kirk is still alive and nuttier than ever. Although Bob Graham is giving him a lot of competition in the sanity-challenged department.
