Classic Crist

Quote of the day, on Gov. Charlie Crist:

 

The U.S. Senate candidate would rather talk sports than policy and that was evident during a Monday afternoon press event at a Home Depot in Tallahassee to urge Floridians to prepare for hurricane season.

 

Second best quote of the day, from Gov. Charlie Crist, on GM’s bankruptcy affecting his state:

“I talked to some auto dealers about it, the pretty direct impact that it has, and Chrysler dealers too. Obviously that’s a difficult situation but you know, what we have to support is free enterprise and those that do well," he said. We'll note that the government will be taking virtual control of GM in the deal and that a parts distribution warehouse in Jacksonville will be closed. "And fortunately things are going well in our housing market and I’m glad about that.”

With that non sequitur, Crist got into his GMC SUV and returned to the Capitol.

"Non sequitur" is being very kind.
