Abraham, Charlie and John — Walsh touts Crist at GOP Lincoln dinner

by George Bennett | March 19th, 2010

VERO BEACH — At the Indian River County GOP’s Lincoln Day dinner Thursday night, down-in-the-polls Gov. Charlie Crist offered this observation about proto-Republican Abraham Lincoln:

“You know, when he was running for reelection for president, nobody thought he’d win. He was down in the polls. That happens from time to time.”

Crist paused and got a few laughs, then continued: “But he pulled it out, because the people trusted him and they understood. And he said something at Gettysburg that we all should never forget…”

Crist was introduced by America’s Most Wanted host John Walsh, who is looking beyond Crist’s 2010 U.S. Senate race.

“We need Charlie Crist in the U.S. Senate. I have a game plan for him. I want him to go right on the Senate Judiciary (Committee), with Patrick Leahy and Orrin Hatch, etc, etc. I want him to kick some ass up there on the Judiciary. He has 22 years of experience. He’s run everything you can on a state level and then I figure he’d be a very good candidate for United States president.”

  1. Drug Test them All Says:

    John Walsh along with Charlie Crist needs to be drug tested. Obviously, Walsh has got his head so far up his butt he can’t see daylight. Then he makes a statement about Crist has 22 years experience and has run everything you can on a state level and now he wants him in the senate and later to run for president.This is the same wants Charlie’s beard has! Gee, I guess he never though Crist has never stayed in any job but one term. Just like the governor’s job, the minute he got in there, he was looking for his next job.
    John Walsh, I like your “show.” That’s all it is, a show! If you had sense enough to realize the corruption surrounding Crist and his crooked cronies at all, you would feature them on your “show.”

    Sorry, John, not going to support Crist or any other democrat.

  3. Mossad Says:

    Rahm will fillet Crist if he would win the primary.

    Sorry, won’t vote for Crist, cause I don’t want Meeks as Senator.

  4. no more bullsh-t Says:

    My oh my does this smell??? Crist is as useless as the pythons in South Florida! I wonder what John Walsh will be expecting from Crist? The show is over for both of them!

    Neither one gets my vote!

  5. Bof Fum Says:

    Hey Mossad, The reason ole CharLIE wants that senate job is so he can get in the shower with Rahm and hope he srops the soap! I’m beginning to wonder now if John Walsh might have dropped the soap for CharLIE or vice versa. People don’t just come out of nowhere and endorse candidates from senate all the way to president for nothing. I mean Walsh might as well have set CharLIE up for his next job jumping story. Walsh needs to keep airing most wanted and stop advertising most crooked for political office!
