Conan gigs Crist over President Obama’s education speech

by Michael C. Bender | September 10th, 2009

conan-o_brienOK, so it was Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, not the man who put him that job – Gov. Charlie Crist, who started a ruckus over President Obama speaking directly to schoolchildren. But this line Wednesday night from The Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien’s monologue is still kinda funny…

“Florida’s Republican governor, Charlie Crist, got a hold of President Obama’s speech to students in advance, because everyone was talking about how controversial it might be. He decided there was nothing partisan and he allowed his kids to watch it. Of course, like everyone else in Florida, Crist’s kids are in their late 60s.”
