Gov. spends day with president

As Buzz types this, Gov. Charlie Crist is riding in a limousine with President George W. Bush.

The governor is attending RNC fundraisers with the president and the two will tour the Blount Island Marine Terminal together, Crist's spokeswoman confirmed.

This could be some of the longest one-on-one time the two have had since Crist became governor.

Relations between their advisers had been tense, due to a 2006 snub, when then-candidate Crist skipped the president's rally in Pensacola right before the election, a decision that angered Karl Rove.

Comments

I can't believe Governor Jello is risking his poll numbers by riding in the same car as W.
W's currently polling around 30%. Just smelling the Prez should drag Crist's numbers down a few points.
Question: what's in it for Charlie?

God, CC's life is a continual photo op.

I can hear the covnersation now:

Bushie: We ain't never had one of your kind as Vice President.

Cristi: Don't worry. As soon as Carole Rome's divorce is final, we'll get a quickie marriage.

I have never seen a more opportunist politican than Crist. What an a**.

What a great opportunity for Charlie to mend fences with THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER. I guess the GOP believe they still have a chance to make the voters forget by November. Never misunderestimate the power of the GOP spin machine.

12:01 - you said it. It's pathetic and disgusting really.

questions:

did being in close quarters with the chimp make CC dumber?

less articulate?

more of a liar?

desperately want to drink until he couldnt stand up?

Perfect opportunity for George to ask Charlie to explain the economic speech he made last week, and for Chyarlie to smoke and doobie and tell George how he is staying tough on crime by refusing to allow rehab sentences instead of jail sentwences for small time drug possessers, as Charlie has admitted to once being himself.

I have realized now that the poll labels "everyman" and "a guy I would enjoy having a beer with" are code words for "mental midget." Maybe between the two of them they will come up with a decent quarter of an idea while riding around in the limo.

thanks, 2.39, for that image of chimpy and CC smoking up and giggling like the fools they are while riding around in that limo.

who brought the oreos?

question:

can either of them spare the brain cells?

we certainly cant afford to have them lose any more, can we?

good! as long as he's not in florida screwing it up anymore than he already has. watch the insurance fall like a rock and property insurance?....what a joke he is.

DOES THIS FREAK EVEN KNOW WHERE FLORIDA IS? THIS IS GETTING FREAKING PATHETIC!

HIS/HER/OR WHATEVER IT IS HAS REACHED A LEVEL OF AUDACITY THAT SHOULD CONCERN ALL FLORIDIANS!

RECALL "THE PEOPLE'S MISTAKE"!

Or maybe the President needs Crist's assurances, that when he ISNT picked to be a VP, he will still deliver Florida for McCain.
See, the Christian endorsement for McCain ended up being a Catholic bigot, and the Catholic groups want McCain to denounce the man. So, it looks like, to support a strong campaign, the VP will be married with children and a little more conservative.

Watch...

Does the undercooked Pillsbury doughboy Karl Rove know that Crist and Dubya are new BFF?

Crist needs to get back to work and fix the insurance and tax problems here in Florida like he said he would,(Liar)instead of driving around with the most stupidest president ever.
