By SnifflesEver heard of Bill McCollum? Your answer may be yes — if you recall that sorry-ass group of GOP lamebrains who decided that Bill Clinton's sex life was a high crime and misdemeanor. McCollum was "an impeachment manager" when he was a member of Congress, and since then, has run for just about every office in Florida.
Right now, he's the state's attorney general. In fact, you may know that he's suing the federal government to stop health care reform. At the same time, he's in the race to succeed Charlie Crist as Governor on the Republican side.
Since McCollum is charisma-challenged — to us, he kind of looks like an even goofier Pa Walton — and, as his suit against the government is pretty fringe-y and dumb, we cats wonder if Charlie Crist is doing some behind-the-scenes tap dancing to get his party to force McCollum to drop his gubernatorial bid. This dawned on us when we read today's New York Times article on the hard choices facing Gay Charlie come April 30.
See, if the GOP bailed on McCollum, they'd give Crist a face-saving way to get back in that race and cede the Senate contest to the teabaggers' darling, Marco Rubio. Charlie could argue that this would keep both the Governor's mansion and Mel Martinez's Senate seat in the Republican column.
Our theory doesn't account for the gubernatorial candidate and right-wing nut Paula Dockery (whose website shows that she doesn't know the difference between "principle" and "principal"). And it doesn't account for the fact that Charlie's beard, oops, we mean wife, is alleged to dislike Tallahassee and want outta there. But we like it nevertheless.
