Carole Crist and the stepkids

Gov. Charlie Crist confirmed Tuesday that Carole Rome will take his last name. So Friday evening, she will become Carole Crist.

Also, when asked about whether her daughters would be enrolling in Tallahassee schools, Crist said that they attend school in New York and he wasn't sure about their school situation.

"I don't know. She hasn't decided about that yet. They go to school in New York," he said.

Hello Floridians, are you now convinced that this is a sham? Who gets married and doesn't know where their OWN children are headed. Maybe he can have them for the summer and have the state pay for them under DCF's care.

"I don't know?", "don't they have child care in my agency?"....

why won't anyone ask him to address the Europe Trip?

and another thing.. he doesn't know about Carole's kids school situation? I'm a step-parent and even with the kids' other parent very involved, i know about their school situation now for the future.

no wonder carole has been able to travel the globe with Crist, she dumped the kids with the ex.

they tried to ask him repeatedly in this morning's dcf press conference and he just ignored it. The problem is, his non answer won't now transfer to the papers or on tv. The press continues to pander to his every eyebrow twitch.

You people are pathetic. All of you. Get a life.

Will Charlie be living in Florida very much?

what mother would marry and leave her children in NY?????

[Kay]

What is wrong with the kids attending school out of state?

[Meg]

I always felt she was a gold digger, and leaving her children and tagging along to Europe , what a better way to prove it, I thought Charlie was brighter than that, but, like all men he thinks with his you know what.

[Katy]

Well we have a State flag, State bird, and a State flower and song, now, as of Friday we will have a State Bimbo !!!

12:49, 12:46 here. thanks. good to know press at least tried. i fear you are correct, Crist's non answer will not make it to papers/tv/online.

Oh well, like OJ Simpson, karma does catch up to everyone.

Over the past few months Florida press have held Carole up to be the Saint of Florida. pandering to her, fluff interviews, never really looking into her background.

i've always thought Carole Rome would cause the end of Crist's political career.. it's already starting.

Who could blame her.....Carole has determined there will be no male role model for the kids in Tallahassee.

In other news:

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested for trying to sell the Senate Seat vacated by The One, Himself.

Word from NY Gov. Patterson is that Hillary's seat will "be worth much more than just a cushy no-show job for my family" in an obvious reference to the Illinois Governor's plan.

Maybe the St Pete Times should add a thread on this story. No? Yeah thats right, we are way more interested in Charlie's personal life.

"I don't know. She hasn't decided about that yet. They go to school in New York," he said.

That sounds like a real attentive dad alright. Charlie Crist is a disgusting human being to use this woman's children as props to advance his political career.

[James]

given he sorry state of education, the continued legislative incompetence and, budget cuts, I guarantee those kids will continue to be educated in NY.
they care about their kids and want to make sure they have a proper education!

[Ray]

I'm sure there are not any private schools in Tallahassee that are expensive or exclusive enough for Carole and her kids.

I'm sure she's Republican all the way and really has a heart for the regular kids that have to attend the underfunded Florida Public School System. Sure isn't for folks like her and her kids.

[George M.]

Meg, She's not a gold-digger. Gov. Christ doesn't own a home and is worth less than $500K. If anything, HE's the gold-digger in this situation...

[Ray]

Then again where were these reporters when Palin was toting her kids all over the campaign trail?? They never asked her why the kids aren't in school and always on the campaign.

Wow, now this is a very pressing story. I am sure it will be front page on Sunday's edition.

(Pay no attention to the Senate Seat up for sale in Illinois)

2:28 - problem is, OJ wasn't in charge of one of the 50 states!

Some day, OJ may be Governor. You never know...

Guess no one saw the Illinois mess already on the Times page. Way to pay attention

Charlie is gay. This wedding is just a face so he can run for President one day.

Charlie is gay. This wedding is just a FARCE so he can run for President one day.

Rome (er Crist) sounds like a real paragon of morality, dumping her kids in NY with the ex so she can act important.
Isn't she supposed to run some sort of costume company or something?
Her and Charlie compliment each other completely, two shallow, self absorbed narcissists in love with the spotlight and unable to extricate themselves from the nether regions of the sub-terranean world.

So I guess this means, Mrs. Rome-Crist will be a part time first "lady" jetsetting back and forth to NY with Chuck in tow and all on the state or RPOF's dime.
Chuck doesn't really like spending much time in Tally anyway, he's a part timer himself.
Plus they can line up some more Donald fundraisers in the Hamptons for Chuck's re-election to "empty chair" Governor.
Chuck will like the arrangement too as it gives him married credentials for a future political run but he can still have fun with his "boys" in St. Pete and Wilton Manors on those weekends Carol's up in NY with the kids!
Hope Jason W or Bruce doesn't show up at the wedding this weekend. If they do you know there will be trouble.

5:07 you must be an insider 'cause you perfectly described Carole. Her level of self-importance far and away exceeds Charlie's - who would have thought that possible!

Charlie needs Carole to be a "wife" and needs her money to run for president. Carole needs Charlie to continue her climb up the social ladder. They don't love each other, they love themselves. Charlie thinks this marriage is what he needs to continue his political career - Carole will actually be the end of his political career once the public sees the real Carole Rome - they have no idea what we in Tally have already witnessed.

Carole Rome Crist will one day be First Lady of these United States. There is only one Republican that can take on Obama in '12, and that Republican is Charlie Crist!

I just figured he was gay, afraid to come out of the closet and he needed a beard.

I would love to hear Katie Pemble's thoughts on this. Remember her the banker who Charlie towed around during the 06 campaign.

What happened to her girls attending the day school in Miami? I remember reading an article that they were with her - but now they are not? What a horrible excuse for a mother.

[JK]

How patetic and elementary these comments are. If you don't like what is going on in "your state" PLEASE move back to wherever you came from OR get involved to make a difference.

[usfbull93]

Who cares??

[Annette]

What nonsense. These are people who live a life of lies. When is Charlie going to do the right thing for the the citizens of Florida? We have major problems, and all they can do is feed their own egos! Again, what nonsense!

[Mary]

Guess 'ole Chuckles doesn't want his step-kids to be educated in a FL school. Wonder why? hmmmmm

[JACKIE]

HE IS GAY. YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT THE KIDS, NO PHOTOGRAPHS NADA. YES, AT FIRST THE KIDS WERE IN MIAMI, NOW NYC????? AND CHARLIE IS TALKING ABOUT ONE OF HIS OWN. THE MARRIAGE IS A JOKE. FLORIDIANS HAVING HIM FOR A GOVERNOR SHOULD FEEL INSULTED. HE IS SO GROSS.

I am not going to defend Crist getting married for political reasons, but I think that Carole's kids should be left out of this. And, what is wrong with sending your kids to prestigious private schools if you can afford it? Maclay is great and all, but I'm sure the schools in NY that her kids attend are the kind that send all their graduates to ivy leagues.

Bimbo? Gold-digger? Check her bank account..... BTW: NY Governor Spitzer was doin' $5000 whores, New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey was doin' his chauffeur while "the little wifey" watched and Illinois Governor Blagojevich is going to be the Belle of the Ball in Joliet State Pen. Charlie and Carole seem kinda dull.

Karl,
Funny post.

Thanks

a mother that left her children just plain old left them with their father...gave them over at the end of the school year since she was never at home with them anyway. she literally told their father to "take them"...so she gave them up, they're not in NY because it's an out of state school, it's because she didn't want them anymore. plain and simple. the kids are in a new school. but they were happy in their florida school.
