Charlie Crist is playing the Race Card in Florida, apparently, according to an article in RedState talking about the latest sleazy attack ad Crist is running against Marco Rubio — an ad that talks about the color of Rubio’s skin and calls him Cuban.
What’s most interesting about the RedState piece is that it’s the first time we’ve seen a Republican site even hint at Charlie Crist’s escapades at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
During the 2008 campaign, the MSM pushed Crist as a VP choice for McCain, wanting him on the ticket so they could spectacularly out Crist and reveal everything he did at the Green Iguana in Tampa.
All the things he wore.
Pretty things.
Nicer dresses than anything the current First Lady of the United States wears.
And that’s quite a feat, too, considering orange is such a hard color to match anything to.
Crist has run one of the most shameful, underhanded, and despicable primary campaigns we’ve ever followed. He created a bogus video attacking himself that he then alleged the Rubio campaign put out. Then, his operatives whipped up an astroturf site to hammer Rubio for making the video that Crist himself engineered.
What’s stunning to us is that a man whose entire life is a giant, orange lie dares to do such shady, nasty things to his opponent.
If we were him, we’d be terrified of being outed.
Marrying the heiress to a joke and novelty beard mail order fortune (no lie, he really did that), doesn’t irrefutably establish a man’s heterosexuality any more than marrying Katie Holmes or posing bare-chested with a bossomy, bikini-clad constituent does (shout out to Tom and Aaron).
There are four men the MSM is pushing HARD to be the Republican nominee in 2012, because the MSM knows Dr. Utopia can easily beat these four fatally-flawed candidates: Charlie Crist, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal.
We’ve met Romney and Huckabee and can tell you, honestly, we think they are good men at heart, but that they just won’t win against Dr. Utopia. Romney is too much of a flip-flopper and is too Ken Doll, boring, white bread. Huckabee is entertaining as all get-out, and he will certainly fire up the base, but he’ll alienate Independents and possibly make them sit home, since he’s perceived as too religiously zealot.
The exorcism Jindal was involved in is his fatal flaw, for anyone who can get passed his lackluster performances on TV and the ease with which he’s parodied as Kenneth the Page from 30 Rock.
Rudy Giuliani could get away with dressing up in drag and still be a credible candidate for national office.
Charlie Crist, oh he of the Green Iguana, cannot.
The quicker Republicans take Crist down and get behind Rubio, the faster you end this delusional timebomb’s national ambitions, the better it will be for everyone.
The only person we see on the field being able to take Dr. Utopia down in 2012 right now is Sarah Palin, so while you’re making your decisions about Crist, you might as well start getting behind HER too.
Sorry, Charlie, but the only President Americans want to see in a dress is an actual woman. You should count your lucky orange stars the Rubio campaign’s been kinder and less revealing about you than Democrats are (or would be in a national election).

No, we have to string Charlie along. We need to get him a couple of months down the road, so that the Republican’s running in the primaries for the governor to be well established so that when the music stops, it’ll be Orange Charlie left without a seat.
November 12, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Charlie must have an ego as big as Obama’s.
I SAID EGO, NOT……….
November 12, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I think Christ looks like Butter-flavored Crisco.
Charlie Crisco!
November 12, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I meant Crist….
Sorry God.LOL
November 12, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Oh lord Tammy! LOL
I don’t know if you are aware of the legacy that Crisco has in the gay community, and that there are all those gay rumors about Crist!
LOL
Don’t ask me, I refuse to explain!
November 12, 2009 at 12:18 pm
funny how Crist is attacking Rubio over the color of his skin..
as much time in the tanning booth that Crist spends trying to reach the same tone as Rubio..
November 12, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Rubio’s skin color? That’s funny.
I think Crist is jealous. Rubio is smart, well-spoken and damned good lookin’
So far I’ve been impressed with him – very impressed.
November 12, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Sounds sort of familiar. That’s right…that’s what they said about obama.
November 12, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Alxerod is dreaming for a landslide for Obama in 2012 against the four horsemen of the GOP apocalypse: Romney, Huckabee, Pawlenty or Crist.
November 12, 2009 at 1:11 pm
You Buzz boys are becoming true Conservatives at lightning speed!
As a life-long Conservative Republican, I salute this very good take-down of Crist.
If he’ll lie about his lifestyle, what else won’t he lie about?
Also, don’t forget he hugged Maobama when he came to Florida in February.
Rubio for Senate!
November 12, 2009 at 1:12 pm
The republicans need to look at the former governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman. He is currently the US Ambassador to China.
November 12, 2009 at 1:57 pm
So the MSM manufactures “news.”
November 12, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Marco Rubio is good looking? See the pic.

November 12, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Good looking just don’t make it. Be ashamed. Not that I think Crist is terrific ( he is my governor )…but this time around let’s do some clear thinking. I am getting visions of screaming ….The One. No matter what…Country before party.
November 12, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Palin/Rubio 2012! This is the only commercial Rubio will need the whole primary season.
November 12, 2009 at 2:57 pm
In 2012 he’ll only be about 41 years old – about the same age as JFK.
November 12, 2009 at 2:55 pm
Crist is toasted!
November 12, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Tampa papers reporting that the local RNC in Florida, Greer, is in hot water for dirty tricks–he is Crists buddy. Hope the Republicans in Florida get it sorted out in time to get behind Rubio–he sounds very sincere and seems to have integrity

You guys go a long way towards destroying the animosity that exists between the gay community and the right. If you keep at it, the right will soon see much common ground. Your cause is our cause. Less government and more personal liberty to keep the money we earn and make our own lifestyle choices. Honorable and ethical leadership. Personal responsibility for our prosperity, quality of our communities, and safety of our country. We have been on the same side all along but were too stupid to see it. I dare say an alliance is about to form.
November 12, 2009 at 6:30 pm
You guys have ruined my whole day!!! I can’t stop reading.. You are so dead on it’s freaking me out..
Paypal on its way!
November 12, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Read that Jeb Bush’s 2 sons are having a fundraiser for Rubio.
November 14, 2009 at 10:19 am
Any links on that perhaps?
November 12, 2009 at 8:13 pm
You guys are killing me with this post! As a Floridian, I implore you to keep exposing this asstrout.
p.s. I am dying at the caption for the photo. You guys are becoming my favorite blog, very quickly!
November 12, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Sorry Charlie! You need to go! (just like the tuna, you stink).
You can’t have it both ways – sucking up to B HUSSEIN O and his stimulus BS, and now trying to distance yourself from the subject. Floridians are NOT stupid. Your time is past.
Marco Rubio is our man. Integrity counts these days, and you have none.
November 13, 2009 at 12:04 am
It’s been about 30 hours since I first found you and you have me addicted! The last thing I needed was something else to distract me from my homework. I was trying to do everything I could to prevent my fingers from typing Hillbuzz into my Google bar, but I couldn’t take the suspense any longer! What have you done to me? No one has ever gotten me away
I love you guys! GO MARCO RUBIO!
November 14, 2009 at 10:20 am
Get back to work on your homework Maria!
lol
Perhaps you can do a term paper on HillBuzz and the rest of the Blogosphere replacing the corporate-owned media.
November 13, 2009 at 2:00 am
One quick correction. Better check the polls over the last 11 months before repeating that Huckabee wouldn’t appeal to indies. He’s a breath of fresh air. He’s consistent; we know what to expect from him. Voters don’t have to agree with a politician on everything to trust him.
November 13, 2009 at 6:03 am
Huck is a politician and as such has a record. He was high tax and pro illegal aliens. Do we need anymore?
What BS he spews to get elected falls way behind his record in office.
November 14, 2009 at 4:53 pm
I <3 you Buttered! I think doing a grad school paper on Hillbuzz is a GREAT idea! I'm a Human Services/Executive Leadership major, so I am sure since you all are leading the way for our Sarah & Marco, you will give me plenty of material for my papers!
PS-I meant to say no one has ever gotten me away from Hot Air long enough to be this dedicated to another blog. Can't wait to snark on Allahpundit on that one, hahahahaha! Though I do love Ed Morrisey!
November 16, 2009 at 3:08 am
We will never vote for that sellout in Charlie Crist! What a sellout obama lovin fool! Our vote is with Marco Rubio!!!
