As an acolyte of Charlie Crist, don’t expect me to ever enjoy the Florida GOP’s daily attacks on him via its ‘This Day in CRIST-ory’ program.
The emails, as Adam Smith describes them, are suppose to remind people how its former standard-bearer, who is expected to run for governor as a Democrat, used to hail Jeb Bush’s expansion of vouchers, once supported offshore drilling, bashed former Sen. Bob Graham as a tax-raiser, campaigned as a prolifer, and so forth.
Occasionally, the emails are interesting. Oftentimes, they’re just downright boring. That’s because Charlie Crist is not some sort of historic figure with 365 days worth of material.
But if you’re gonna run a program called ‘This Day in CRIST-ory’ you have to be open for business every day of the week, fifty-two weeks a year.
That’s why on some days, the best the Florida GOP can do is a five year-old op-ed from a Tampa Tribune columnist who went so far as to call Crist “glib empty suit.”
Oh, the horror. Not an op-ed! And how dare someone describe Crist as “glib!” How will he ever go on?
Please, RPOF, have something interesting to remind us about tomorrow.
