Charlie Crist And The Backpack Of Conservative Principles

Posted on | April 29, 2010 | 11 Comments

Dan Riehl reports that Charlie has been kicked to the curb by the NRSC website.

Cheech and Chong do a fine rendition of a Crist figure trying to convince a webmaster that he’s packin’ the gear.

More from Cassie:

Heh: Charlie Crist’s flip-flop makes John Kerry look like the Rock of Gibraltar.

And. . .

Just a month ago, he was proud to be a member of the party of Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan. Now, suddenly, he can’t associate with them any longer because the system is broken.

Marco Rubio’s already got an ad out using Crist’s own words against him. If Crist thinks he has a prayer of winning this as an independent, then he is delusional, baby.

Well if he won’t listen when Mamma Cassie tries to talk to him and tell him how to live, he can always return to his punk roots:

    Once again, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” seems so appropriate in politics.

    Crist doesn’t even get points for originality. When Spector is your guide…well you are pretty messed up.

    Even Frum wants him to lose.

    I see that Google Ads is placing big, expensive Charlie Crist blog ads. on the right column. The slogan: “Crist, Put People Above Politics”. Now that’s an example of targeted advertising at it’s worst.

    I’m in Florida, so I guess Google knows my location as well as the fact I’m reading an article about Sorry Charlie. Does anyone outside Florida see these ads?

    I’m gonna click on it a few times so the Crist Campaign will get a charge from Google. I wonder if Google shares any of the proceeds of click-thru ads back with Stacy McCain’s website?

    I’m in DC, and I see it. If nothing else, give the man credit for chutzpah – complaining about a broken system when he is the very symbol of said system – that’s just pure gold.

    When it comes to Mr. Crist, I am reminded of the Cheech & Chong skit that begins:

    ‘What’s that?’

    ‘Looks like s–t’.

    ‘Smell it’.
