the link here:
>>In an alternate reality: $212,000 judicial salaries a “constitutional crisis.”

The link about the judicial salaries is still pointing toward the 3000 dead in Iraq story...

Did anyone else know that Florida just elected another repressed homosexual Republican closet case as their new governor?

He was allegedly banging one of Katherine Harris' male campaign staffers right up to the election.

Original Andrew, while I would find great delight (or is that schadenfreude) if your charges are true, I have to ask what you have to prove it. Any links would be appreciated.

Matt from Denver,

I’m only too happy to oblige. I simple typed “Charlie Crist gay affair” into Google and my computer almost exploded with entries. Among the most totally awesome:

http://www.wonkette.com/politics/charlie-crist/is-there-even-one-heterosexual-republican-211964.php

Excerpt:

Is There Even One Heterosexual Republican?

Charlie Crist, America’s tragically forgotten in-the-closet Republican candidate, is reportedly still a big gay homosexual who won’t ‘fess up.
Plus, he cheats on his long-term boyfriend, who is a convicted criminal. And the kid he had a gay homosexual sex affair with is also a convicted criminal — who, obviously, worked for Katherine Harris.
