First Big Daddy's, now chillin' with famous surfers...
Gov. Charlie Crist went to Cocoa Beach earlier today to welcome eight-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater to his Council on Physical Fitness and to sign a bill (SB 1472) ensuring public beach access.
Slater gave Crist a custom board trimmed in garnet and gold. It's made from "bio-foam," or 50 percent soybeans. "It's the environmentally friendly board," said TJ Marshall of the Surfrider Foundation.

Wow, that’s really nice, Chuck. Glad you’ve got the time – on our dime – to wax a board. Here’s a thought, Chuck… why don’t you bring that board back so it can be used as a roof over cardboard for some who has lost their home due to your LIES… YOU OVER-TANNED, LYING, ROTTEN, PHOTO-OPPING, INSURANCE INDUSTRY PUPPET, PANDERING, WASTE OF A VOTE, DO-NOTHING, JET-SETTING ON OUR DIME, POLE-SMOKING, COPPERTONE REJECT OF A PR*CK!
… sorry, I just got MY INSURANCE BILL… YOU FREAKING CON ARTIST!

Now let's make sure that the water quality and beaches of Florida are still actually nice enough to surf in.

I'd be careful surfing on that board with the flashy garnet and gold trim. It looks like an artificial fishing lure for big sharks.

Hope Charlie didn't use that horn hand gesture in Brazil. It would have gotten him in a lot of trouble.

And they say the 'polls' give him a 58% approval. From the comments here, I can tell we all just love him! Thanks for the laughs everyone. All of these are soooooo true!!!

Laughing at you GOPs - you just can't stand it when one of your own shows a little heart. Face it - the days of the neocon fascist GOP are history, thanks to the gang in DC. So you're going to have to at least pretend to have some type of conscience to get elected in the future. At least Charlie understands that. And kudos governor for snubbing the Worst President Ever!

What conscience? The guy is not a Republican or a Democrat. He's a totally self-absorbed turd burgler. That is not exclusive to either party.

Surf's up..Charlie...Lets go surfing now everybody's learning how!!

I didn't know Charlie snubbed Jimmy Carter. I guessed that story missed the papers.

Hang ten, dude! Cristi is doing the real work of the People's Governor: hanging out with people! Property taxes and insurance premiums don't vote.
