::chortles:: Every time a FL wingnut starts screeching about how wonderful Crist would be as McCain's VP, I agree with them.
"It'd be great to show that the GOP's big enough to have a gay Vice President - even if he's closeted."
Crist has managed to piss a few people off down here, notably with his apparent Potomac jones and his frequent trips out of state, as well as his recent flip on offshore drilling. My personal take on him is that he's a one-term wonder - and he won't make Veep.
The only person I feel sorry for is his "Fiancee."
It'll be interesting to see what happens to his marriage when he doesn't get picked for VP.
Crist still suppports a ban on gay adoptions. FL is one of 3 states with the gay adoption prohibition.
I saw Huckleberry Graham on Bob Scheiffer's Face the Nation.
*US Senator. (Rethug - SC)
*Air Force officer in the Reserves.
*About 55 y.o.
*Never married, iirc.
*Rumor: Gay.
Which leads thinking people to ask about Lindsey light in the loafers Graham........WHAT! Strom Thurmond took all the wimmin? 
And Strom boy's been dead for a bit.
My god....McCain campaign just gets better and better. First, I hear he's going to run AGAINST Social Security. And just who's been paying McCain all of these years?
Uh-huh.....
And now, the parade of gay men for possible veep in the GOP??? Really???
The popcorn popper is fired up, ready to go if either of these rumors come true.
It's JIFFY-POP time!
O/T (Sorry too good to not pass along.)
LM, this one's for you. (And any other Jesse Helms "fans.")
From the NYT.
“When Carol Moseley Braun was elected to the Senate, Helms would sing Dixie in the elevator whenever saw her, with the intent, as he told Orrin Hatch, of making Moseley-Braun cry,” Coates writes on his personal blog. “Behind closed doors, Helms reportedly referred to all black people as ‘Fred.’”
Coates later adds, “Reasonable, good-hearted people can even debate the merits of hot-button issues like Affirmative Action, which we’ve done on this very blog. But reasonable good-hearted people don’t do what Helms attempted to do Carol Moseley Braun. Vile bigots do that. And people who embrace vile bigots as their champions should expect to have their motives doubted by people like me.”

How will the kool aid kids spin a seething gangster with a gambling jones and a closeted ripe piece of fruit to the dumb (m)asses?
If there's such a thing as a "gay look," it has to be Lindsey Graham's simpering mug. Sweet Zombie Jesus the guy looks effeminate.
Sorry, gotta pimp my own blog here. I noted the engagement and the fact that the South Florida Sun Sentinel had an online poll asking whether Crist's engagement was "politically motivated".
I have a screen shot of the poll result.
Almost 80% think that it was politically motivated.
Christ, I think he's even stopped using Nair™!
New keyboard please, LM. This one's fulla coffee...
bravo.
dude.
you my hero.
really.
The Wanderer, Lindsey Graham is as queer as a three dollar bill. So is Dubya.
LM, another masterpiece.
And yes RE POPCORN, BITCHES if he takes the nom. Every skanky rent-boy in the state will be swapping notes in the MSM and the tabloids about this guy.
Ohhhhh gooodie! He's on the larry craig plan then.
