Pundits already have exhausted themselves discussing Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s announcement yesterday to run for U.S. Senate as an independent (Larry Thornberry has a good analysis up at the main site). I won’t add to the maelstrom aside from this tidbit.
Near the end of his self-serving, egomaniacal speech, Crist gave this odd nugget — so odd that I’ve never heard another politician use it (emphasis mine):
I’m counting on you, and I believe in you. And you can believe in me, and I’ll be with you forever. Forever.
Who, exactly, does Crist think he is?

Whips and Chains Charlie needs to come clean on who's buried at the Dozier School for Boys, and how, exactly, they came to meet their demise while in State custody. He has already soiled every elected office he has held.

Normally I'm very conservative, but with those silly redundant posts, I wouldn't mind a little moderation.

Hell, I thought it was a threat.
