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.

Man, there are lots of liberal bigots on this board. (Pardon my redundancy)

[chic111]

The only bigotry is that Crist tries to hide what he is. That is he is gay is fine. That he hides it is not.

[Nooneyouknow]

No, just one halfwit wingnut.

[nibblybits]

Most people aren't judging him because he's gay, they're judging him because he's a hypocrite and hates himself.

"Most people aren't judging him because he's gay, they're judging him because he's a hypocrite and hates himself."

Something you don't know just assume.

She looks like an older version of Eliot Spitzer's "escort"

Seriously, folks, this is sad when i think about it. There was a time almost 30 years ago, when i was going through similar gyrations to keep my very Gay self in my very dark closet.. I even got married to my HS "sweetheart" and had a child to do it. Needless to say the burden of such a life was nearly intolerable.
So i have some measure of sympathy for somebody who goes through similar gyrations, and that the stakes for Charlie Christ are much, much higher. I do hope that when he finally gives all this up, and comes Out of the Closet, that he does so with more grace than McGreevey did. That was shameful.

[gibbsale]

Not quite as shameful, though, as Mark Foley.

[nleath]

Does being a single male or female of marriageable age automatically signal that a person is gay? Good grief!

[standforpeace]

Probably not, but what's really sad is that some people still believe that homosexuality is such a negative that this guy felt compelled to kiss a married woman to prove that he's not gay. Damn hoping for progress on the social justice front can get a bit discouraging some days.

[nibblybits]

He's gay and a Republican. That's why he has to live a life of lies.

The Dems embrace open gays. We've got Barney Frank.

[DragonMama]

no, but being in an opposite-sex marriage doesn't necessarily prove you're straight, either.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

What a woman puts ON his lips once does not negate what many men have put THROUGH his lips.

[Bocababs]

And....as an embarassed Resident of Florida, I have to tell you all......this one takes the Crist!!

I am leaving the state in the next 18 months.....can any of you guess why??

[jamo02110]

why?

[crl9]

"And....as an embarassed Resident of Florida, I have to tell you all......this one takes the Crist!!

Gee I don't know Bocababs, could it be you're so homophobic that even the possibility that your state has gays makes you run screaming away? Sure sounds like it. What a lovely little liberal.

[newpotusplease]

Get this...he also dated (former sec. of state of florida) Katherine Harris- I wonder if he has any video of that?! His taste level-Oye!

[Vern58]

Katherine Harris would be enough to turn any man to thinking about turning. God- he must be really desperate.

[MrRavini]

Maybe he was looking for makeup tips.

[AdobePhsyko]

I personally think that it is a lot worse to be dating a married woman than to be gay.
But,What do I know ?
I'm just a straight Democrat without a "wide stance"

[ProfessorDuh]

Here's a rule of thumb. When you feel you have to defend your heterosexual reputation, you don't have one.

[the964kid]

Thats pretty funny. Sucks to be a single guy in the republican party...

[dusty59]

Honey, please! you could show me a picture of Liberace kissing a woman- that would not mean he was not gay-gay-gay!
The GOP continues to make a signature issue of anti-gay rhetoric and legislation. Any closeted gay people self-loathing enough to work for/support these thugs deserve to be outed... but good!

[jalapeno]

This only proves he's Bi
There are way more Bi people than Gay, they want a bit of the vienna sausage on the side,
but can parade endlessly as a straight person.
Who can blame him South Florida has some hot Latino trade.

[only1Demvoter]

jalapeno : Nobody's blaming him for anything other than being disingenuous and hypocritical.

Besides... The Rethug Party is full of trisexuals. They'll ' try ' anything !!

[seenitall]

well, yes, but it was at a Project Runway fashion show....paging Mark Foley....(pun intended)

[Smunker]

There goes the hard working white vote in Appalachia.

[Smunker]

Does the video show him throwing up in his mouth a little bit after kissing a woman?
