FOX NEWS' VAN SUSTEREN: And sort of a punch back which occurred previously is that you have said about your opponent, Mr. Rubio, that he is the greatest fraud perpetrated. So it sounds like you have had a couple of punches back as well. Why do you say that?
GOV. CHARLIE CRIST: Because he's trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative. And yet just in reason weeks, two weeks ago it has come out in news accounts he had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut, or maybe it was a back wax -- we are not sure what all he got at that place.
VAN SUSTEREN: Wait a second, stop. A back wax? Wait a second.
CRIST: I don't know what it was, you know?
VAN SUSTEREN: I know, but was there a suggestion it was for a back wax or are you being flip?
CRIST: I don't know what it was. Initially we were told it was a haircut. And then he said it wasn't a haircut. Then he had the gall to go on Neil Cavuto's show and said it was his money. It was a credit card from the Republican Party. It was party donors' money.
The detachment from reality is stunning to me. And to try to say that you're a fiscal conservative, yet you spend $130 for maybe a haircut and maybe other things, I don't know what you do at a salon we you are a guy. (snip)

Flop sweat. Charlie is desperate!
If this is all he has left, he’s toast and he knows it.
To raise such an issue is so undignified and rather girlish.
Is this a joke?
He didn’t REALLY say something this stupid?
Yep. Simply pathetic. Paging NRSC Chair Cornyn. Pick up the white phone in the lobby. Your guy is ready for the ‘straight’ jacket.
Video at the link!!
someone seems to be trying to start a cat fight
Really! Was that necessary?!
If that’s the only ammunition he has - he’s shooting blanks.
Rubio should ignore him.
Crist knows his back waxers
Nair really works great and it doesn’t hurt! I’ve been using it for years and for less than $6 bucks.
Sorry Charlie. Try as you might, you can’t wash that 0bama stink off.
$130
Gosh, I am trying to care... but it just ain’t happenin.
It was the most disgusting interview ive seen in a while. Crist acted like he was running for city council somewhere. And he kept making these dramatic exaggerated facial expressions at every question, like a San Francisco guy.
Was Marco Rubio using back waxes or not?
Why won’t Rubio answer the question?
We are all waiting, Marco.
Just to be fair — a lot of FReepers shouted to the rooftops when “Two Americas” Edwards did the same thing.
$130
Gosh, I am trying to care... but it just ain’t happenin.
I bet Pelosi’s back wax is a lot more than that and I wonder if she flies that fancy jet @ $60,000 in fuel to her session.
Do you suppose Crist ever raised that about Pelosi and any Democrat?
“Back Wax”?? - is that worth more than an “Obama Hug”?
What was more costlier to the taxpayers...
- the “Back Wax” or the “Obama Hug”?
I think HE probably has EVERYTHING waxed.
Exactly.
“Let’s not talk issues. Let’s talk about haircuts and back waxes.”
Unfortunatly, this is the kind of stuff that actually sways swing-voters/moderats. You know, the people that tell us they are such deep thinkers and look at both sides of the issue. If that were so they would quickly realize you can’t go back and forth between incompatible political philosophies.
Why won't AlanD answer the question?
We are all waiting, AlanD.
LOL!
I'm no fan of Miss Edwards, but it's somewhat hypocritical to excoriate the one, and give a pass to the other, for the same alleged offense.
Edwards paid over $400 for a haircut.
While $130 is way more than I woud even pay, I think it is within the upper end of realistic.
Edwards was shallow and vapid. All flash and no substance and that was the point about the haircut.
That is why it took off, not the actual cost, but the way it got to the heart of who Edwards was.
Well maybe Edwards girlfriend likes smooth as a babys butt Backs
a lot of people are wondering the same thing
I gather you’ve run into ‘his’ idiocy too.
people have told me about it mostly
Amen! I can’t believe Crist would say something SO GIRLY and DUMB.
Hey Newbie.....where’s your SARCASM tag??
I've always thought Coppertone Charlie was a bit "light in the loafers".
When he hugged Obama he went up 12 points on the rump ranger scale.
