A potshot at Jim Greer?

Get a load of this Florida Today ad linking Jim Greer to an adult club. The ad was placed by a onetime (and apparently continuing) political opponent of Greer's, and there's no evidence that it's actually true. More from Florida Today here.

The state GOP declined to dignify the claims with a comment.

OUCH

At least we know he likes girls.

burn

When will they find out about the closed circuit t.v boondoggle ?

WOW!

No wonder Greer is supporting fellow GOP "solicitor" Sean Campbell for Bob Allen's District 32 House seat.Birds of a feather...

I heard that he owned several strip clubs, truth???

Why does this surprise anyone !!!

I bet Carole Jordan could find those extra 5 votes now.

Funny!

I predict that this comment section is goign to blow up quick and be funny as all hell. I look forward to this afternoon.

this should be quite entertaining!

Family Values GOP hypocrites "exposed" again!! Larry Craig, Bob Allen, Mark Foley, Jim Greer....

Yeah right, The Times will shut this baby down in less than 15 minutes. All it will take is that magic phone call from the Frenchman !

WHAT!, a Republican involved in a perverted sex scandal?

Why, I never heard of such a thing.

Signed,

Bob Allen

I'm sorry - is it illegal to go to strip clubs?

Crist will have this link closed in a very short time.

I just drove by the RPOF and there were at least 10-15 staffers sprinting toward the elevators on the way back from lunch. My only guess is that you will feel their presence on this blog in less than 5 minutes...

To all those "new" Republicans who keep calling true Republicans Rhinos and other names, this is what you people have done to the party, and you keep defending corruption and hypocracy. And you young Repub staffers, you have no idea what the Republican philosophy really is. You have been badly used so as the crooks in the party continue to make money and ultimately destroy the real Republicans and the party.

This is such BS , anything to go after Crist and his people,

This is such BS , anything to go after Crist and his people,

This isn't about Crist (I like the Governor). It's about an out of control party chairman who was never vetted.

That is no shock to me. Greer had to quietly settle a sexual harassment complaint against an employee shortly after taking control at RPOF.

I'm more shocked that the Times is reporting this, since they saw fit to remove and censor the sexual harassment topic last week. Let's see if they censor it again.

You've been a naughty boy Jim and your sin will find you, even if the Times act as your personal press corp.

What year was greer on the board at flash dancers?

Did not Greer beat this guy twice for election and now he's running against someone that Crist endorsed, The guy is known thruout Brevard as a kook, Sorry Chairman and Mrs Greer you have to go thru this Crap!! , keep up the good work

Yep; the staffers are back from lunch.

I don't money will save the Repiglicans if they continue to be the "party" of hypocrisy, bigotry and financial cluelessness.

This is not about Crist. He has shown he is not the Johnny come lately Republican. This is soley about Greer. He should step down and let this party struggle to get back to where it used to be. It once was respected .

Flashdancers won't be a club that Charlie is going to anytime soon, if you know what I mean.

Time for Greer to resign. Tom Gallagher would make a great party chairman. Terminator could be director of communications.

This attack ad was poorly written. There is a reason for that.

2:28 - the sky is man that soup is hot can we sit on a swing and go nanny nanny boo boo.

my post just made about as much sense as yours

2:34 I prefer substance over form. There is a lot of beef in that bun.

Who cares how the ad was written- will Greer confirm or deny the allegations in it? I bet NO! The spin doctors at RPOF are working right now on the cover up. Buckle up boys, this could be a rough flight.

2:28 What planet are you from? Uranus?

No way are Greer and Delmar going to give up those nightly $40 steaks without a fight. I wouldn't bank on a resignation.

They are letting the allegations come out now from a bitter man who can't write. They want the allegations to lack credibility, despite the real substance.

2:33
thanks for the plug!

this is the kind of pub that Charlie would really like to get.

enough of the trite sound bytes and lame photo-ops standing behind Johnnie Walnuts!

If Greer and Delmar are forced out the profit margin at Crackerbarrel, Huddlehouse and Shoney's are going to take a major hit.

Does McAmnesty dig these kind of clubs?

Hey, after surrounding himself with the likes of State Sen. Mike "light in the lofers" Fasano, (which surely can't help the rumors about Charlie what parading him around the state with him in that fancy bus for a few days to promote A1), maybe Charlie figured he needed to work on the "straight" vote by getting his do-boy Greer to get in with some strip clubs...

Seriously, why not Tom Gallagher as RPOF Chair? All bs aside, he has done much more to build the party than any of the newbies. Tom has great management skills and would provide some counterbalance to left leaning Charlie. No one has any questions about Tom's sexual orientation.

"No one has any questions about Tom's sexual orientation."

Awesome!!!

2:47 You're right (about Gallagher and his orientation). No questions at all. Especially not after the mounting on the hood of that Jaguar in Tallahassee.

Seriously, we can do better than all the perverts, homosexuals, pedophiles and hypocrits the GOP "leadership" seems to be made up with right now.

2:47
can I still be communications director?

No questions about his orientation, but the embedded mercedes emblem on his gut says something else.

2:49
actually it was a gold mercedes.

The RPOF has changed the subject.

Is this the strategy ?

2:52. Gold Mercedes, red Jaguar, hell it could'a been a purple friggin Yugo. the point is the same, Gallagher aint no saint. And given our governor, and people he surrounds himself with already have enough of their own sexual Identity problems, we don't need to add Tom Gallagher to the mix.
