Charlie Crist's "Sex Tape" Could Land Him The Vice-Presidency

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, long rumored to be a closeted homosexual, is about to have his true sexual orientation outed by Nixon dirty trickster Roger Stone, who claims to have video surveillance of the newest "Love Gov" and friend on a late-night elevator ride...

Crist is without a doubt the frontrunner for the Republican Vice Presidential nomination after helping John McCain sneaked past second choice Mitt Romney in Florida. However, he is single and therefore a potential liability to the Family Values party. Here's what Politics1, which broke this story, has to say about this "sex tape":

The video was seemingly staged to kill the rumors that Crist is gay. Stone claims the tape -- which he discussed recently with Politics1, but didn't show to us ("I'm saving it for the national shows") -- "shows Charlie fooling around in a hotel elevator with his girlfriend."

Stone just conveniently happens to have a copy of the hotel's elevator surveillance tape, just when Crist's name is in play for the VP spot. Hmm. As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- [pictured above -- Ed.] presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). Disclaimer: Always be skeptical of anything from Stone.

For the folks in the know in Florida, Crist is a total lightweight. He has no real credibility. He has a 70% approval rating, mainly because he never takes a stance on any issue. Yeah, he's in the closet. I don't care. With the McCain candidacy especially, I want a VP good enough to be president. The real reason a lot of Floridians would vote for a McCain/ Crist ticket would be that you'd take him off our hands.

He looks a little disinterested in his date if you ask me, all though she is just average looking she appears to be a tiger, and O'l Charlie is just ho-hum, "what'll ay doo without a ma'an free'ind, Gurald? Now, I don't know what his significant other's name is, but I won't be surprised when a dude's name surfaces as Crist's other. . . .
