Report: Crist Circulating 'Make Out Tape' To Squash Gay Rumors

PoliticsOne.com reports:

How interested is Florida Governor Charlie Crist in being John McCain's VP runningmate? So much so that veteran GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone -- who coordinated a few dirty stunts in support of Crist during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign -- is quietly peddling a so-called "Charlie Crist sex tape." That's what Stone called it during a telephone conversation. And no, it is not a tape of Crist having sex with a guy. In fact, it isn't even X-rated. The video was seemingly staged to kill the rumors that Crist is gay. Stone claims the tape -- which he discussed recently with Politics1, but didn't show to us ("I'm saving it for the national shows") -- "shows Charlie fooling around in a hotel elevator with his girlfriend ... They're making out." Adds Stone: "It was captured on a security camera in the elevator" last month. And Stone just conveniently happens to have a copy of the hotel's elevator surveillance tape, just when Crist's name is in play for the VP spot. Hmm. As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). Disclaimer: Always be skeptical of anything from Stone.

"As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). " So its better to have an elicit affair with another man's wife than to have a consensual relation with another adult man? Good old republican values.

I was thinking the same thing! Also, how bad is her marriage that she's making out with him? She's pretty in the photo, and it would be like making out with a skinny dude from a film negative..­.

Who cares if he is gay? I live in Florida and although I did not vote for him, I like him much better than Jeb.

[TrueBlueMajority]

this is all a red herring. McCain will pick Romney.

[jgalvan]

It's good to see that all the Republicans are coming out of there closet.

[crl9]

What a charming group of homophobes. How liberal of you.

[Desdemondo]

Charlie gay! So what?

[Dan Stewart]

Who is the woman in the picture? Where is the photo from?

[newpotusplease]

Carole Rome from NYC- she used to be married to Todd Rome.

[TheKnownTruth]

Pendulum ....

[Mutineer]

Let Charlie run! Let Charlie run! Let Charlie run!
We need it for comic relief.

[levibatgirl]

Since mcsame supporters are all homophobic this should work really well for him then.

[MyGuyO]

Hmmmm. This is interesting. This is the first I knew about it.
This pic of woman looks the same as the one he was with last weekned while in Sedona w/the McCain's.

Interesting, last weekend McCain had tryouts for three top VP contenders: Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal, and Mitt Romney. That means a Republican presidential candidate is trying to chose between the gay guy, the brown guy, and the Mormon. Oh the irony!

How do you say, "Beware of homosexuals promoting their heterosexuality" in Latin?

"Timeo homosexuales heterosexualitatem pronuntiantis," I think.

[PennLawyer]

How do you say "beard" in Latin? I wonder how many rock-ribbed conservative GOPers even know what a beard is.

[TxWranglr]

How many "rock-ribbed conservatives" do you know that can speak Latin? Remember, this is the party that routinely and loudly denigrates education.

[Cedman]

He will be picking Rommney or Huck anyway. He has issues with economics and christian conservatives and these are his most visible choices to address these gaps.

This guy being gay is no big deal. Unless they're a member of NAMBLA , most people don't care about politicians being gay. As someone posted, the GOP is quick to out someone or condemn their lifestyle. And then we hear about them secretly embracing the same thing they rail against. All you closeted freepers, come OUT we know you're in there.

"most people don't care about politicians being gay."
This is true, but most people really don't like hypocrites. People tend to feel uncomfortable with someone pretending to be one thing and then being something completely different. Especially when those people are in charge of so many things that affect their lives in profound ways. It tends to make you doubt what they say about other things.
The issue isn't gay or not gay. The issue is about being truthful.

[MiddleRoadLiberal]

You heard it here first: Crist is not only not gay (because gay men can't make out with women--that's fact), but he's also so conservative that he dogs married women in public places that happen to have closed doors.

[riverhouse]

Gay men frequently marry women. Where have you been for the last few decades?

[SiberianRat]

Gay guys make out with women frequently­...

[pdsimdars]

I've heard from people who live in that area and they say that he is gay. They say everyone in that area knows this.
If he'd come out and say he's gay, I'd have a lot more respect for him.
