• I’m happy for my friend and I’m extremely happy for my state.
• Florida Republican Gov. Charlie Crist • On the appointment of one of his close confidants, George LeMieux, as Senator. There’s a subtext here. Crist wants to be Senator in 2010, but it would be bizarre to appoint one’s self to such a job, so he’s having his buddy do it for 17 months, which should be long enough for LeMieux to decide to screw his buddy over and run for Senator himself. LeMieux replaces Sen. Mel Martinez, who resigned from his post to focus on his family. • source
