She's Florida's first girlfriend
The St. Petersburg Times ^ | March 6, 2008 | Times staff

Posted on 03/06/2008 6:24:33 AM PST by Armando Guerra

For months, Gov. Charlie Crist has insisted that New York socialite Carol Rome is just "a friend," but Tuesday night at a soiree in the Governor's Mansion, he introduced her as "my girlfriend," says the Tallahassee Democrat, which snapped the picture above.

In November, the New York Post reported that Rome, in the midst of divorcing Bluestar Jets CEO Todd Rome, was dating Crist. Then, the governor's staff said Rome, a mother of school-age girls, was just "a friend."

Still, last month Crist took Rome to the White House for a dinner with President Bush. So far, that's two high-profile dates for just a "friend."

The dress does seem to stop at her waist. I think she would look 10 times better if she had some support.

If this guy or Lindsay Graham end up as the VP, I’m off the McCain bandwagon for good.

Koch was never outed because back then it wasn’t done, the whole gay movement was just starting...they didn’t want to hurt any of their own. Today, it’s a far different story. If Crist is/was gay, there would be someone, or more, willing, even eager, standing in line to out him..that vast majority of gays are liberals/Dems who would love to take him down, and earn a few million $$ for the story rights as an added bonus. If he is indeed gay, and has been able to keep it covered up all this time, then McCain should name him as his CIA director.

Beard...a disguise...designed to conceal the gay man behind the ‘girl friend’...very old phrase.

They are referred as fag hag’s

Fag hags don't date gays, they just like being friends with them.

Charlie Crist is as gay as a Mardi Gras party on Bourbon Street.

"beard"

I had to google that one. I never watched Seinfeld where it appears it entered the mainstream. I have to say that is my thoughts also. I do not think he could be considered a serious VP candidate for the Republicans with the gay rumors. Then again, the Republicans could counter the Black/Women ticket with the first openly gay candidate if he came out of the closet. Poor Eleanor Clift's head will explode with this one (she recently was in a quandry over deciding between a woman and a black).

Did Mr. Suntan met his latest “boob bait for bubbas prop” in a beauty shop?

Charlie “Mr. Suntan” Crist - pictured here before he became Governor of Florida:

If McCainiac wants to take a chance of having another “October Surprise” like occurred in 2006, he’ll pick “Mr.Suntan” as his running “mate”.

Lousy boob job.

I guess for Crist, it doesn't really matter.

Didn't Crist date Cynthia King before he was even in big-time politics?!

The kids in that picture don’t resemble either one of them. They both have long faces...the kids don’t.

re: Beard.

Charlie is a decent gov, a nice guy and all but openly gay to those who know him.

Ed Koch had Bess Meyerson,
Henry Kissenger had Stefanie Powers and Nancy,
and Charlie has this girl.

He never even moved into Gracie Mansion (official residence)of NYC mayor. Kept the same Greenwich Village apartment he had with the same gay partner for 38 years.
