Crist girlfriend's divorce

Gov. Charlie Crist may never have owned his own home, but his girlfriend, Carole Rome, is apparently a serial house flipper and is accustomed to the services of a chauffeur and nanny....at least that's what it says in her divorce papers, according to Palm Beach Post columnist Jose Lambiet.

Also of note, Lambiet said he talked to Rome's ex, who said he supports Rome's relationship with Crist. Read more here.

1. STOP REPORTING BOGUS RELATIONSHIPS. WE DON'T REALLY GIVE A RAT'S BUTT ABOUT CC AND HIS FAKE RELATIONSHIP FOR THE SAKE OF POSSIBLE NOMINATION.

2. SHE APPEARS TO BE YET ANOTHER LITTLE GOLD DIGGER. WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE HOUSE FLIPPERS HERE IN FLORIDA. KEEP YOUR SPOILED IMMORAL BUTT UP NORTH.

3. OF COURSE HER EX HUSBAND SUPPORTS IT. HE'S RID OF HER SPOILED LIFESTYLE.

Crist and Rome are a couple of freaks who will only bring disrepute to Florida.
Chuck: Ron Reagan and Teddy Roosevelt the conservative Republicans you love to quote so much would be spinning in their graves and bristling at the thought of a morally and ethically challenged, self serving politician such as yourself using their names for your own personal advancement.
Rome who we all knew was a materialistic, social climbing, gold digging little ho appears to be everything that has been printed about her.
We as hard working Floridians who stand for family values (obviously something you and Ms. Rome know nothing about), reject the notion of such a charleton possibly ever being first lady of Florida or a Veep's wife, girlfriend, campaign prop or whatever you want to call her.
Charlie's chances were slim to none for VP before this came out, I imagine Ms. Rome's checkered past pretty much eliminated any chance whatsoever CC may have had.
Once McCain announces his VP pick, who wants to bet how soon it will be before Ms. Rome is outta here? (I say less than a day).
Can you imagine having to attend a social event with this vamp and trying to take her seriously?
Only in FLORIDUH folks can things like this actually happen!
The Charlie Crist freak show governorship continues!

"... a serial house flipper and is accustomed to the services of a chauffeur and nanny..."

That explains the joke that is Amendment 1.

Way to look out for us, Chuck!

1) serial house flipper: check property tax records. maybe the flips are timed to avoid property tax bills or short term mortgage due date.

2) Todd supports the relationship: why not? he's rid of her, and his kids benefit from living in governor's mansion, VP house or White House.

3) accustomed to chaffeurs, nannies, luxury homes: based on the yearly incomes released in the divorce documents, how were they paying for all this? living the "pyramid' lifestyle, perhaps?

this article paints her to be a scheming, selfish woman with an agenda. it's obvious she is only with charlie to improve her social standing. i almost feel bad for him.

as has been noted many times before - the minute charlie does NOT get VP and is not re-elected for gov, she will be gone in a flash.

Dead-nuts-on... once a flipper, always a flipper... she'll flip him off quicker than a knat!

not buzz worthy

I've been critical of Charlie in the past, but its obvious the previous posters haven't read the article.

Here's a review:
She makes more money than her ex-husband per year.

She's aggressive in flipping property. Tons of people made a lot of money this way.

You can't believe half the stuff in read in divorce filings. It's all about making the other person look bad just for strategic reasons.

If this is a legit relationship, more power to both of them.

It does seem to be a bit arranged for political purposes, but I wish them the best of luck.

Wow, Chuck (11:52) has a laptop with him!

I believe she is a cross dresser..I saw her in Sobe the othernight at the impersonators show..Mc Same please pick chuck pleeez

"I'm told Carole and Charlie formed the perfect couple - her shapely body barely wrapped in a Florida-orange Dolce & Gabbana backless number as she stayed glued to the super-tanned Crist for most of the night."

The reporter actually meant that Carole and Cristi were literally glued to one another. That's the only way that Carole could stand being so close to the guy?.

Seriously people -- give it a break. If you want to bash Charlie on his ability as governor, feel free. But dumping on her just because she's involved with Charlie is a bit too much.

Seems to me there are a lot of fragile male ego's who can't stand a successful woman.

Earth to moron.
She INHERITED a costume company from her parents.
Then she married this schmuck Todd Rome and sucked him (literally) for everything he's worth.
Is that what you call success?
If so tune into the Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears freak show later tonight at 7:00 following your nightly news where complete douchebags who never accomplished anything are glorified by the American mushbrain public.
Now turn off the TV, go get some exercise and try reading a book!

No worries everyone. When McCain doesn't announce Crist as VEEP in early August, Mrs. Rome will drop him like a rock.

classy 3:03-- but I really don't expect you to care what I thinks since you happen to be the smartest most wonderful person God or whoever you believe in, created. Aren't you special???

right on, terminator!

just one small correction - it's a costume company that also sells cheap gag gifts and ADULT TOYS* (*catalog by request only).

I can just see it now. Charlie on his knees and Ms Rome behind him with her snap on tools. "Thank you sir, may I have another"!

3:23
Sorry I was so tough on you but join the real world. I don't think anyone of us who have daughters (I've got three) want to see them grow up to be like Ms. Rome.
Being a gold-digging little sl*t puppy is not what I call being successful!
Do you?

If she does marry Chuck, can I be the poolboy?... that will be one busy kid.

Terminator,
Yes, I stand corrected because no man has ever inherited his parents wealth.

Oh and thanks for the advice on reading a book. However, I was taught by your lame public school teachers so my vocabulary is very limited. Despite that, I've been able to overcome it,not rely for my paycheck from the dues of others, and make a very decent living.

If I need your advice on my level of activity next time, I'll ask it!

Sincerely,

Oh and by the way, you obviously don't value the importance of art in our society. Two of those three women made millions on their own. Paris is the only who has no talent whatsoever.

looks like termie pissedoff a two-can-chew!

I actually think Charlie Crist is a decent governor, and I'd rather have him stay in our state and help fix its looming financial crises. I hope McCain ends up picking someone else.

Everyone here who's trashing on his choice of significant other--geez, you having buyer's remorse re: not choosing Jim Davis two years ago?

It's passed 5:00, I guess Termy had to hit the road with the other clock watchers.

"I actually think Charlie Crist is a decent governor, and I'd rather have him stay in our state and help fix its looming financial crises."

Ummm... BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA... HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA... oh that's a hoot... hahahahahahaaa... Michele, you just kill me!... Hahahahahaaaaa... Chuck's not even a decent tanner... Hahahahahahahahaaaa... whoooooooo, that's rich... hahahaha..sthspt... I'm sorry, i shouldn't make fun of drug adicts; sorry Michele...

If he gets the VP spot, her practice of hiring illegals will cause a REAL problem.
It is not a one time occurence. Look to the state of New York workers comp claims. Google will help!

say what you will about his performance as governor, charlie is a clever, shrewd man known for his political and PR instincts. but i think this time he made a mistake. the very person he thought would help him get the VP pick, re-elected or white house, is the same one that will be his undoing.

there are now far too many unflattering stories about this woman, and more on the way, no doubt. anyone can write anything and splash it across the internet - charlie's enemies, carole's enemies, strangers who just want to stir the pot. yet, some of the stories sound plausible and similar. who can say if they are all true? but, as we all know, perception is everything.

i'm not a charlie crist cheerleader, but i do think he needs to get some distance from this woman if he wants to get that VP job.
