Charlie Crist admits that George LeMieux recommended Jim Greer for Republican Party Chair
Miami Herald ^ | 5/16/2012 | LUCY MORGAN

The message to former Gov. Charlie Crist from good friend and confidante Jim Greer was ominous-sounding: “Listen I just wanted to call and tell you something as a man, not like these other people that have put knives in your back and never had the courtesy of calling you directly or talking to you.”

Just about a year after Greer was indicted on felony charges of organized fraud, theft and money laundering, Crist found the voice mail and a text message on his cell phone from the former chair of the Republican Party of Florida.

To Crist, it sounded like Greer was attempting to extort money from him and he called the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to report the messages.

Crist is now doing ads for Morgan and Morgan law firm which is a big dem supporter. He looks pathetic.

“Crist is a pathetic little metrosexual.”
****************************************************
And a very ungrateful one at that. Several years back Crist made a snarky comment suggesting that Marco Rubio needed to wax his back. I forget which blogger suggested it, but after that snarky remark during the Rubio/Crist primary race there was a suggestion that folks could send Crist “men’s back waxing kits”. I ordered one from Amazon and had it shipped to Crist at his official Governor’s mailing address.

I never received so much as a think you card from him. Can you believe it?
