You Know I Had To Say Something

Charlie Crist, Florida's preternaturally tanned and preternaturally married governor desperately wants to be the next Republican candidate for president.

In that spirit, he is fighting the right of gay parents in Florida to adopt. Florida has the only outright ban on gay parents adopting in the nation, by the way. And also, by the way, gay folks can be foster parents and are even recruited for such by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

And of course, there is a, uh, rumor, that the Gov himself may be personally acquainted with the "gay lifestyle" as it were, although there is that wife- whom he married in a big fat hurry during the days when he was on McCain's short list of possible VP candidates. Of course, Sarah Palin got that nod and we all saw how well that little clusterfuck worked for McCain.

Anyway, back to Crist- not only is he fighting gay adoption, he's against the nomination of Sotomayor. I'm not sure how that's going to serve him in a state with a HUGE Hispanic population but he's not worried so much about Florida voters as he is being a gung-ho Republican at the moment.

And all I have to say is- Charlie- Cowboy up, Cupcake. Do the right things.

Oh but wait- that would mean he'd have to prove he has some balls.
And it would also mean that he wasn't a very good politician, not to mention a very good Republican. Hmmm...truth and honesty and doing what's right for our children and our nation, OR, staking out a place in the very middle of that really vast Republican tent.

He's got his camp stool and there he sits, just waiting for the country to ring his phone, call him to a higher purpose and wondering where in the White House he'd have that tanning bed installed.

I hate politics. I truly do.

  2. Eeww... creepy. I had no idea.
    Seems to me that any one against Sotomayor will probably be against any Obama nomination for the Supreme Court. Maybe that wise latina thing tans his hide just a little too much.

    I will NEVER get why people have such a hard time extending civil rights to ALL. That's the point, isn't it?
    Oh, sorry, my liberal is showing. Or maybe it's just my human.

  3. I lived in Florida during the Bush Brothers' era. Sounds like things aren't much improved. So sad.

    I personally thing the guy is creepy looking, and I won't even go into the disease called Republicanism.

    I'd personlly be ok with supplying Bill Clinton with a stockpile of interns to keep under his desk if he'd just run for President again...

  4. He's no pal of the state worker, I'll tell you that. And he's one of those, as well. Seems he's got some self hate issues.

  5. May- It's my sharp, wicket tongue. Gonna get me in trouble some day.

    Michelle- Yeah. I think the definition of liberal might be, "Remembers that all other humans are as human as him or herself."

    Rachel- I'd definitely contribute to that fund.

    DTG- You think?

  6. I did not know that about the state of Florida! Why, just the other day, I was behind a car with a Florida license plate that read "Invest In Children." Hmmm.

    I know almost nothing of Mr. Crist but I don't think I like him very much. I keep trying to see George Hamilton but I keep getting George Anthony.

  7. The whole silver hair & black eyebrows combination just gives me the willies.

  8. Ms. Trouble- Yeah. Invest in children. Sure. We spend less money on our schools in this state than any other state except for one. I think.
    And he ain't no George Hamiliton, either.

    Xbox- They call him "The Silver Fox." I call him, "The Big Fat Hypocrite."

  9. You do get some loser politicians in Florida!
    Have a great time in Cozumel! I'm actually eager to see which posts you've scheduled to be reposted while you're gone.
    Take lots of pictures!

  10. I think Idaho must spend the next lowest amount on education. And while I know little about the man, he looks like a Ken Doll, only older. Which makes me want to gag.

  11. lol...you don't think that tan is from all the hours tending chickens and picking vegetables and fishing for bream?

    oh, poo on all of it, i say! such a game...republican, democrat, liberal; i'm not sure any politician would refrain from selling themselves for the right price.

  12. you are extra funny when you're wicked! hee hee!

    I always thought Crist looked like a deranged, slightly sinister, elderly Ken doll knock off... Unlike Martinez,who just looks like Satan incarnate. (shivers!) I think he signed my damn diploma too!

    Anyway... yea, it's an ugly game.

  13. Oh, my God. I love this post. Hilarious and biting and awesome. And that photo -- there are no words to convey the significance of that tan.
