Gov. Crist’s loopy history
Posted Nov 5, 2009 by Tom Jackson

From the “You can fool some of the people all of the time” file, courtesy of the Associated Press:
TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Charlie Crist is saying he did not endorse the $787 billion federal stimulus bill, a statement that might confuse some voters. [Confuse is putting it mildly; irritate, astonish, infuriate, flabbergast, now those are more appropriate terms—Ed.]
Crist appeared with President Barack Obama in February to support the bill, asked Florida members of Congress to vote for it and previously told The Associated Press that he would have voted for it if he had been in the Senate.
But when the Republican governor talked about the bill Wednesday on CNN, he said he didn’t endorse it. Crist told CNN he understood that the bill was going to pass and wanted to use it for the benefit of Florida.
Crist has tried to distance himself from Obama and the stimulus bill since entering the 2010 Senate race in the spring.
Whatever other fine qualities Gov. Crist still wields—and they are becoming increasingly difficult to locate—this is absolutely delusional.
Is anybody, even Crist’s staunch ally Mike Fasano, drinking this Kool-Ade?
