Wow… thanks to some friends who are Boyz in Illinois for this gem. This video is from back in 2006 on a scandal about not only Charlie Crist, but also Mark Foley and others. And who is Jason Wetherington? From the Boyz’ post:

The GOP has been protecting Charlie Crist for years. Watch the video above from 2006.

It’s from before Crist ran for Governor, when the Mark Foley scandal was cresting. In this report, it says conservative Christian groups were part of the conspiracy to protect Crist, because Crist was willing to make anti-gay remarks and push anti-gay policy…so long as he got to date 21-year-old men, be as hypocritical as possible, and remain as orange as he wanna be.

We talk repeatedly about Democrats knowing who all the gay Republicans are — including the three in Illinois’ Congressional delegation, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, and others at large (and in charge). Democrats blackmail these closet cases into backing bad legislation, trading their submission for secret-keeping.

Republicans, ALSO, know who all these closet cases are, and keep their secrets because, as this video illustrates, some of these guys can be used to attack gays as proxies for the far Right. Who better to stick it to gays than closet cases, whom Democrats are also using, and whom Democrats won’t out or expose as hypocrites because they are so useful as pawns?

These guys are pawns to just about everyone it seems.

What the hell is in the water in Florida?
