I think this is going to be my last Crist post of the year, guys. I can’t deal with it anymore. Even a devout cynic can only take so much.
Mr. Crist, the Florida governor, had called Mr. Meek, a Miami congressman, earlier that morning, about 4:50 a.m., leaving a voice mail asking if they could meet up at the AIPAC gathering. “I’ll call you later this morning and see if we can work out a time to get together just you and me,” Mr. Crist said in the voice mail, which was played for Washington Wire by Mr. Meek. “Take care, buddy.”
Mr. Meek was scheduled to speak at AIPAC about 8:30 and Mr. Crist at 10, but the governor showed up an hour early in hopes of catching the congressman.
Mr. Meek said he tried to avoid Mr. Crist, but as he left the stage, “there he was, right in front of me.”
“He said, ‘If you were to drop out and work with me and help me we together can beat Marco Rubio,’” Mr. Meek recalled. “I said, ‘Governor, that’s a non-starter.’
“Then he dug down into his pocket and pulled a small cross out,” Mr. Meek continued. “He said his sister gave it to him and he wanted to give it to me so I would think about it.”
Because, you see, Jesus wants Charlie Crist in the Senate. Meek claims he was shocked: “I told him to keep the cross and that I carry my Christianity in my heart.” Which is a noble reply, but alas, my friends, nobility doesn’t always carry the day. According to a new story just published by the NYT, some of Meek’s black supporters are already starting to defect to Crist thanks in part to Bill Clinton’s involvement in all this. Which, of course, is precisely why that story was leaked to Politico yesterday in the first place.
Update: I wonder if this incident helps explain why Meek changed his mind about dropping out. Maybe he’s now so creeped out by Crist that he figures, whatever it may mean for Rubio, he’s got to stay in and deny this guy as many votes as possible. I don’t blame him a bit.
Another freak democrat. When will it end?...I know.
Keep on ‘em every minute.
What a sick puppy...he’s so consumed with lust for power that he’s going to wind up in a mental health crisis.
I’m surprised he did offer his sister to Meek.
Pathetic, desperate loser. His embarrassing loss on Tuesday night will end what’s left of his political career.
Charlie Crist is turning into a creepy stalker.
Or his wife. It’s not like Crist is tapping that.
“...he’s got to stay in and deny this guy as many votes as possible. I don’t blame him a bit.”
Me neither, and he does need to do EXACTLY that.
I don’t know too much about Meek, but from what little I have heard he is a respectable guy from a well established Democratic family who are well regarded in Florida.
I haven’t heard anything that would indicate he is a pathological liar, or megalomaniac, as are Clinton and Christ.
So, you’ve got to believe Meek.
Christ is just frightening. I can’t believe Floridians like him as much as the polls indicate.
I also think it is a disgrace that the Dems want to throw their own nominee under the bus. For this shill-burger Christ, who’d probably leave them in a heartbeat (ala Spector) if the Republicans had (or were 1 vote away from)control.
People like Christ need to go back to the private sector STAT!
Hey Meek....tell Crist to get on his hands & knees and bark like a dog.
I think the dems are all pulling together to cover up for the fact that one of them (either the White House or former president Clinton) pressured Meek to get out of the race. They are now trying to make it sound like Crist conmcocted this whole story and put it into place. In reality there is a power play going on between the Clintons and the White House and its eventually going to spill over to the whole democrat party. At that point we can all buy popcorn to watch the dems fight it out.
If Charly Crist becomes a casualty of this incident then thats OK...he’s not a real Republican anyway.
Go Rubio!!!!!!!!!
Jesus wants the orange white guy with the white hair in the Senate? Now that is weird.
Unreal. Charlie Crist is a sociopathic freak!
Did anyone see Crist on Gretta last night? He looked uber Creepy ...
Um... it’s Crist, not Christ.
Oh.....good grief! This is getting SICK!!!!!!!!!!
That was pretty routine at the Green Iguana except he was also wearing a diamond studded collar.
I stand by my opinion that those who seek power for power’s sake are psychologically imbalanced human beings.
frightening that we are overlorded by by a bunch of psychopaths.
Surely this is satire...or does he have some serious mental issues?
He will probably have a meltdown after the election.
