Charlie Crist appoints Jim Smith, former BP lobbyist, for lawsuits against BP

in Statewide by

Great story from Beach Peanuts that has yet to bubble to the mainstream media. While we sit here in Florida waiting for the oil that may come ashore along with the dispersant BP keeps spraying in spite of the EPA, we’re supposed to believe that Gov. Charlie Crist is doing everything possible for our state, or at least that’s what Charlie would have us believe. So naturally you would think that the appointment of two former attorney generals to begin…

From the Orlando Sentinel: Jim Greer loved to throw parties at his big, fancy home here, and he did it often. Sometimes he would literally roll out a red carpet. Guests arrived in tuxedos. Later, in the backyard, in front of a rock band, Greer would grab a microphone and belt out a few Elvis tunes. His guests would include neighbors and GOP donors, but most importantly Charlie Crist, the man who handpicked him to run the Republican Party of…

Jim Greer: Endorsement of Charlie Crist led to ‘character assassination’

in Statewide by

He also wants damages from the party and from Thrasher (who doesn’t?) More important, the lawsuit also includes Greer’s explanation for why party leaders…
