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.

this is a classic example of shakespeare's famous line

"METHINKS THOU DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH ..."

Let's see, he's the Republican Governor of Florida and it's the rumors of homosexuality that embarras him?????

[newpotusplease]

Or.. "Men should be what they seem" Act III Othello

Now I expect we will here an engagement announcement for Crist real soon. Hmmmm. He was once briefly married. But, I'm sure he could use the political cover now. I also read somewhere Katherine Harris once considered dating him...seri­ously. That is unforgivea­ble...gay or not.

maybe crist can go to the camp for gayness removal for 6 weeks. I remember an anti-gay, republican preacher found himself gay one day and he went to that camp and then he was all good and hetro.

[SiberianRat]

"camp for gayness removal" LMAO

[Manx]

If Crist shows up jumping on Oprah Winfrey's sofa, we'll know he's gay.

Charlie Crist is gay and big deal ... he is the closet and that must cause tremendous pain for him ... he has always hung out during gay pride days in Orlando, he was Foley's roomate when they were in the Fl legislature ... there are examples upon examples
What is a big deal are his policies like his support of Amendment one which reduces property taxes so extensively that schools will need to be completely privatized, we will no longer be able to pay for police or fire fighters etc ... his policies are really messed up ...
Florida despite its weird nature has always been fairly gay friendly ... in high school I recall when we got Anita Bryant kicked off of her orange juice commercials for her anti-gay remarks (in the 70's) ... I do not get why Crist remains in the closet but that is not the issue ---- his right wing anti-anything but corporate agenda is the issue ...

This story has a big ick factor both politically and socially.

[SiberianRat]

Not to mention physically and psychologically

I hope he becomes McCain's running mate. It would be a very interesting dilemma for the intolerant Republican party. Just another source of heartburn for Grandpa.

But, I don't think it will happen. He really doesn't have much to choose from, does he?

[thisoldbroad]

Would this be like the video of Ryan Seacrest eating a woman's face to prove he wasn't gay as well? If this story is true I feel bad for everyone involved.

Most people who would be concerned about his sexuality would really rather not know for certain one way or the other.

Only the republicans make an issue of being gay, but as it turns out, more often then not it is a republican that is caught "with his pants down."

[suntzu]

Some statistics say that somewhere between 5-10% of the population is gay. If that is the case, and we have 50 governors, then somewhere between 2.5 and 5 governors are gay. So what is the big deal is Crist is gay? That makes him just a statistic as far as gayness is concerned.

[puffhost]

This is baloney. Crist will not be on the ticket. If he is then McCain is dumber than I thought. Crist is so gay, and an elevator tape ?!??!!!? Ha! That is so 80's. McCain's people have to know the truth.

If the Dems wanted to play dirty they could have one hell of an October surprise ready on Crist to disenfranchise the far right.

[JJaye]

Ex-Governor McGreevy of NJ probably made out a lot with his wife Deena. Didn't stop him from wanting what he really wanted. Wouldn't that be priceless if John McCain picked him as a running mate and it was proven that he was really gay. Good Republican values eh!

[crl9]

What does being gay have to do with values?

[booshman]

Anybody with a good gaydar can tell that this guy is gay. Let them nominate him to be McSame's VP. May be in October we will meet Crist's real honey. See, McSame is already delivering on diversity by considering Crist. Dems ...watch out!!! (LOL)

[newpotusplease]

and then there is this:

[DoAsISay]

He kissed a woman. And that proves what exactly?

Was this woman paid to be in the picture?
