Charlie Crist Getting Married So He Can Pretend To Be McCain’s Vice President Until November

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one ... MARRIED, BURIED ....Orange-skinned Florida “bachelor 4 life” Charlie Crist is the latest in Florida’s long line of moderate Republican politicians who live swinging, middle-aged male lives without women. But he apparently really wants to lose with John McCain this fall, so he has announced the impending tinkle of little wedding bells!

Charlie was married for like five days way back in 1980, but that didn’t work out so well, due to differences between Charlie and the lady, whoever she was. He had some fake girlfriend last year; we don’t remember what happened to her. And there was that one time Jeb Bush called a reporter a jackass for asking about Crist’s sexytime or something.

His new gal pal is … eh, read the story, we are late for dinner. Happy July the 3rd leading to the July 4 holiday weekend, everybody!!

    The article raises the possibility that the marriage is more about money than a beard: “Todd Rome estimated in court records that his ex-wife’s income has been as high as $1.48-million a year, and the Romes’ numerous properties included a 10,000 square foot vacation home in Southampton.”

    …well as long as he is married to a woman there is an impending gay Republican sex scandal waiting to come to the surface!

  3. wheelie says at 8:55 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single Republican male Governor, in possession of a good political fortune, must be in want of a wife.

    I heard Ted Haggard was one of the first to congratulate the happy couple.

  6. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:07 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Sounds like she’s both French and Jewish:

    “currently president of Franco-American Novelty Co., New York-based wholesale distributor of Halloween costumes and accessories”

  7. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:08 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    I bet she has some awesome dessert recepies!!!

  8. Johnny Zhivago says at 9:14 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Here’s the website of the company she owns:

  18. Mr. Spanky says at 9:50 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Charlie may be a gay homosexual, but he has to get out of Dodge (Tallahassee) fast! Even though being a gay politico in Tally is considered fairly normal.

    Charlie needs the #2 slot behind Walnuts before Floridians wake up from their nap and realize that his property tax and insurance “reforms” have bankrupted all the local governments in the state of FL!

  19. StrangelyBrown says at 9:52 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    I love the headline: “Florida Gov. Crist says he’s getting married”. It’s like the St. Petersburg Times is still calling bullshit on him, just without having to risk a pesky libel case. Well played.

  20. Guppy06 says at 10:02 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Johnny Zhivago:
    1.) “Franco”
    2.) “New York”
    3.) “Halloween”

    He may as well go for VP, since he sure as hell won’t hold on to his governorship now that it’s so obvious that he hates America, guns and Jesus.

  21. SocialList says at 10:03 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    He might be able to hide teh ghey,but he can’t hide the bronzer addiction.

  22. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:04 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Poor Carole, now she’ll know how Debbie Rowe & Lisa Marie Presley felt. Also, Crist’s description of his fiancee reminds me of how I describe my beloved bulldog (even though he’s a boy!).

  23. American Dreamer says at 10:14 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Crist is NOT gay…I do know women in south Florida who have done sexy time with him…in fact he had an affair just last year with a MARRIED palm beach socialite. mccain has florida in his pocket so i dont see him picking Crist.

  24. KTHXBAI says at 10:15 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Won’t he have to get married in Massachusetts though? Since his fiance is, you know, a man?

  25. Vanity Smurf says at 10:16 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    I smell a Cocktober surprise in the offing.

    The wedding colors will surely be blush and bashful.

    Will the bachelor party be held in South Beach or Fort Leatherdale, ahem, Lauderdale?

    Where, oh where, will the happy couple register?

  26. Vanity Smurf says at 10:18 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    American Dreamer: All those women have strap-ons.

  27. InsidiousTuna says at 10:31 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    KTHXBAI: McCain’s gonna go to California and chip away at Obama’s super-gay Muslim homosexual racist radical base. Did I leave anything out?

  28. doppel_d says at 10:35 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Isn’t Vitter and Craig’s federal marriage amendment going to put a stop to this wedding?

    InsidiousTuna: “Elitist”

  30. Oh American Dreamer, you are so very Tony-the-Tiger-like. Please make the luckiest boy in the world and say ‘I do!’

  31. Me. Make “me” the luckiest boy .. aw never mind, forget it, you wouldn’t understand anyway.

  32. liquiddaddy says at 10:56 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    I wonder which one of them has the most skin cancer lesions? Crist looks like f-ing Goldmember.

  33. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:10 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Gayest bachelor party ever.

    Were talking Rove popping out of cakes gay.

  34. ronaldpagan says at 11:24 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Yeah, he married this chick named Penelopsky Aaryonna Goldberry. I heard she had really soft skin.

  37. populucious says at 11:55 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    I am simply loving the sound of their honeymoon:

    “Rome will join Crist on a 12-day trip through London; Paris; Normandy, France; and St. Petersburg, Russia, that leaves July 11. The trip is described as a “business development mission for Florida’s aviation, defense and climate change sectors.”

    Be still my heart. What a woman will do for the chance to temporarily fantasize about living at Number One Observatory Circle, providing it can be found, having been deleted from the maps and all.

    tonyAZ82: Jail. Finally.

  39. wonk_the_heck says at 12:19 am, July 4th, 2008

    American Dreamer: McCain is not married to the idea of good strategy, so
    I am forecasting he may very well pick a running mate with a shield-wife. When it’s
    announced, Walnuts will be joined by the Florida Orange in front of a green screen,
    initiating a mass epileptic seizure.

    A gay man married to a Halloween costume heiress. Kind of like a drinker married to a Beer heiress…OH, I get this year’s theme.

    Americans will spend nearly $5 billion this Halloween (2006), or about $60 a person-roughly 50% more than last year, says the National Retail Federation.

    McCain should dump Cindy and her suds money and hook up with Rome. Cougar replacement therapy!

    Does Carole realize that if he has nephews, she will automatically become the Auntie Crist?

  60. jasonelias says at 1:40 pm, July 4th, 2008

    Charlie Crist is getting married, because Jesse Helms would have wanted it that way…

  61. Not_So_Much says at 1:43 pm, July 4th, 2008

    Yeah! So that THAT, you big meanies! He’s gonna get married now and have (ulp) hot hetero sex (gag, urp) like all the time! With a WOMAN!!

    Of course, they’ll only do it from behind and with her wearing a football uniform — but it’s totes normal!!!

    Hey, maybe we will now learn the real answer to;
    “So, you want to be the husband or the wife?”

    Mr. Crist, here’s a recommended reading list for you:
    1. The difference between us is more than a penis
    2. The backdoor man meets his match (made in heaven)
    3. Shotgun wedding? As if….

  72. Mr-Clark says at 12:14 am, July 6th, 2008

    Ken Layne,

    Why would a fag-hag marry a bottom? At least if she picked a top, she could torment herself with the fact he was at least into fucking something…maybe not what she’s got, but something!

    Maybe he is just a clever metro sexual out for her dough? I can see why Midge would approve. Midge isn’t gay, but Cindy is loaded.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

  73. Aww, not fair, this guy gets married and poor little Andy Sullivan, still single, still sticking pins in his Hillary doll and jacking off on Barry’s picture. No justice no peace!

    American Dreamer: I’d do sexytime him if he had a bigger mustache, ideally the of the handlebar variety that required special wax. that would be nice. very nice.
