Wait...what's the story with your governor???

Charlie Crist seems like a big ol' homo, but is finally marrying a woman, who he got engaged to because it made him seem more straight. Can you spell "BEARD" boys and girls?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

who he got engaged to because it made him seem more straight

Who he got engaged to because it made him seem more straight while he was on the shortlist for the repub V-P pick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmmm, apparently Blag can name Obama's successor even under indictment. He has to be impeached, which couldn't happen until January at the earliest.

However, the Senate could vote not to seat his appointment.

Right, and who he is still marrying because ...who knows who could run for Pres or VP in 2012?

Art Crawl!!!

That's why we hope that he can be convinced to step down from the position before he names a senator.

I could not think of a better point-man for Obama than RE, although I have to admit, he scares me more than a little.

Punishingly Intricate

Well, it seems unlikely he'll get anything out of naming the senator now, right? So why should he care?

How fast can the legislature impeach him? They hate him, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They're also trying to see if they could call a special election.

Bet they're wishing IL had Recall, now. Although mostly Recall is wacky, too, so maybe not.

Our wings are not tired.

Speculation was that Charlie announced the engagement to have a shot at the VP with McCain and now is going through with the wedding. I would have thought that it was laughable that McCain would have chosen him with his gay reputation, but considering how carefully they vetted Palin it could have happened.

I haven't seen any credible press that our governor is in fact gay. Just the fact that he has a 100% gaydar reaction from just about everyone. We disagree about just about everything, but generally I don't think he is the worst person at the job. Not particularly corrupt, just orange.

I was kinda sad that McCain didn't choose him because they looked so good together. [link]
