This is Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist on Greta Van Sustern’s show discussing his Republican primary opponent, Marco Rubio. If you watch the video, at one point he parrots a famous Democrat with “Jobs jobs jobs.” Ain’t politics fun? Aside from the screwing us part.
VAN SUSTEREN: And sort of a punch back which occurred previously is that you have said about your opponent, Mr. Rubio, that he is the greatest fraud perpetrated. So it sounds like you have had a couple of punches back as well. Why do you say that?
CRIST: Because he’s trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative. And yet just in reason weeks, two weeks ago it has come out in news accounts he had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut, or maybe it was a back wax — we are not sure what all he got at that place.
VAN SUSTEREN: Wait a second, stop. A back wax? Wait a second.
CRIST: I don’t know what it was, you know?
VAN SUSTEREN: I know, but was there a suggestion it was for a back wax or are you being flip?
CRIST: I don’t know what it was. Initially we were told it was a haircut. And then he said it wasn’t a haircut. Then he had the gall to go on Neil Cavuto’s show and said it was his money. It was a credit card from the Republican Party. It was party donors’ money.
The detachment from reality is stunning to me. And to try to say that you’re a fiscal conservative, yet you spend $130 for maybe a haircut and maybe other things, I don’t know what you do at a salon we you are a guy.
I get my haircut for $11 from a guy named Carl the Barber in St. Petersburg, Florida where I grew up. And to me that’s real fiscal conservatism.
That’s gross and funny. But far more entertaining than any of that policy mumbo-jumbo.
In one breath Crist says he will “tell the truth” and then throws out a wild accusation about a back wax. He then says he has no idea what Rubio did at the barber shop. He intimates that no real “guy” would visit a salon just to plant a suggestion of what exactly? Rubio has categorically denied the charge and has said he paid the personal charges back.In addition Crist released documents that are private. Keep in mind that these are not tax dollars in any case but Republican party funds. Sounds like an internal matter to me. Also sounds like rehearsed desperation on the part of Crist. Crist trails badly in the polls as the sitting governor and that ain’t good!
I don’t care if he’s spending “Republican party money,” just as long as he’s not spending taxpayer money.
In fact, I’d prefer these boneheads (from both parties) drain their coffers on stuff that isn’t screwing me over (like running for office.)
What’s funny is watching republicans tearing each other down on Fox News, I’m ganna have to look for a copy of the show!
VAN SUSTEREN: A back wax on taxpayers money. Incredible!
CRIST: I don’t know what it was. Initially we were told it was a haircut. And then he said it wasn’t a haircut.
VAN SUSTEREN: Wait a second, stop. A blowjob? Wait a second.
CRIST: I don’t know what it was, you know?
VAN SUSTEREN: I know, but was there a suggestion it was for a back wax, a blowjob and a new hat. Is that what you’re saying? Are you flipping with me again?
CRIST: I don’t know what it was. He had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut. He said he paid it back, but did he? Like I said, I get my haircut for $11 from a guy named Carl the Barber.
VAN SUSTEREN: Wait a second. Carl the Barber? Wait a second. Carl the barber went down on you for $11?
CRIST: I don’t know what it was. I mean, he said it was a haircut, but then he said it was something else. The point is, I used my own money.
VAN SUSTEREN: My lord! $11 for a blowjob, AND a manicure. That’s real fiscal conservatism. But Marco Rubio got a new hat, a back wax, a blow job and a public washroom invitation. Aren’t you a little bit jealous?
CRIST: I don’t know what it was. I mean, he said it was a haircut, but then he said it was something else. I used my own money, and I don’t know if he did or not.
VAN SUSTEREN: So what you are suggesting here is that you and Rubio had an orgy at Carl’s place, and you got a blowjob, a manicure, free beer, and a nose trim, and Rubio got a back wax, a new hat, a blow job, a washroom invitation, and an ass licking… all for $141 that he charged to his Republican Party of Florida credit card, and you only want to pay him $11 for your share?
CRIST: I don’t know. But when I find out, I bet he’s going to look real bad.
Maybe Rubio should watch the documentary “Outrage” for some of the things Crist is deceiving the public about. Kind of odd that Crist is always referencing what a real “guy/man” would do.
Big deal. He settled his account with the party. I hope Rubio wins.
BTW, how does someone get hair to grow on their back? Not that I want to grow hair there: I am just curious.

BTW, how does someone get hair to grow on their back?
It starts to happen shortly after puberty hits. Don’t fret, if you’re going to grow some, you’re going to grow some.
For those who don’t know better, political contributions are tax deductible. That means some of OUR money is paying for that was and BJ.
#9 Mr. Fusion, I refer you to IRS Publication 529 (2009), Miscellaneous Deductions
Political Contributions
You cannot deduct contributions made to a political candidate, a campaign committee, or a newsletter fund. Advertisements in convention bulletins and admissions to dinners or programs that benefit a political party or political candidate are not deductible.
“I get my haircut for $11 from a guy named Carl the Barber in St. Petersburg, Florida where I grew up. And to me that’s real fiscal conservatism.”
Ok, so as Governor of Florida I assume he lives in the Governor’s mansion in Tallahassee. And he must never get his hair cut there if “Carl the barber” cuts his hair.
In St. Petersburg. About 250 miles away. For a haircut.
Time to pull out the ol’ BS meter Uncle Dave. I believe Gov. Crist is spewing a load of crap.
Neanderthalus Republicus.
This is the same Crist who was just caught funneling millions of Florida taxpayer dollars to his Big Sugar campaign contributor in the Everglades. As usual, this is fiscal conservatism.
#12 LOL.
A black shag carpet on the back and a frown on the face is a big indicator of a conservative republican. Similar to a limp wrist for an effeminate gay guy.
#10, Cap’n
You are correct sir.
So Crist was OK with the Feds sending $787 billion in stimulus, but says Rubio is wasting money.
