Crist on back waxing, Everglades restoration and Jeb Bush
by Michael C. Bender | March 9th, 2010Gov. Charlie Crist, in his appearance on Fox News last night, insinuated that the $135 Rubio spent at a salon might have been on a back wax. (The initial issue with the expenditure, of course, was that Rubio charged it to his Florida Republican Party credit card.)
Crist said Rubio paid the party back “after he got caught.”
“Here’s something else that is really strange about that,” Crist told Greta Van Susteren. “He lists his net worth on his last financial statement as about $8,000. Yet he already said he paid back $16,000 and then another $3,000 on top of that, a total of almost $20,000. If his net worth is really only $8,000, how’s he paying back $20,000. Who’s money is he using now to do that? It doesn’t make any sense. It’s really a house of cards.”
Rubio’s campaign shot back saying he paid the $16,000 in personal expenses several years ago. The campaign also mocked the governor, saying “to Crist, being a fiscal conservative means having the right barber.”

I guess the campaign’s “hair” attacks arent working: ‘absolutely brutal’ numbers coming out today on Crist.

I defend back-waxing against Crist’s discriminatory remarks against manscaping.

[...] Charlie Crist says he tossed out the possibility that Marco Rubio used his Florida Republican Party credit card for a back waxing after reading it [...]

Desperado (Charlie), why don’t you come to your senses? You been out ridin’ fences (umm, and other things) for so long now.
Oh, you’re a hard one (won’t even touch that one!) … I know that you got your reasons. These things that are pleasin’ you … Can hurt you somehow (see HBO’s Outrage)
Now it seems to me, some fine things have been laid upon your table (Governor’s Mansion). But you only want the ones that you can’t get (US Senate)
Desperado (Charlie), why don’t you come to your senses?
You better let somebody (Democrats or Independents?) love you before it’s tooo oooo oooo late.
Which reminds me of another song …
Well it’s too late baby (Charlie), yeah, it’s too late …
