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.

And this is who McCain is considering for VP? Wow. Almost makes me not care if Hillary is Obama's running mate. Almost. It's unbelievable the lengths the GOP is willing to go to prove they aren't gay. Truly sad.

Throughout this whole race, Democrats have been whining about racism, sexism, and the GOP is worried about ageism. As a gay man I wonder how many centuries it will be before an openly gay person will be on a presidential ticket.

[TooDarkMark]

I can only imagine if Barack Obama was considering someone who was hiding their homosexuality. Or even worse, someone who was anti-homosexuality and a homosexual. Boy they would have a FIELD day. But alas, Democrats will look the other way and this will only get some time on the internet.

[helonias]

So he's bi, so what.

[wbateman]

There's a video of Michael Jackson kissing Lisa Marie Presley too...

And?

[littlepuffycloud]

Only a Republican would think being gay is a problem.

[ScandalousCandice]

This is going to be too easy come November. And the democrats thought their party was a mess.

[TN60]

I personally do not care whether Crist is gay or straight, only that he is a Republican and maybe on the short list as VP for the insane old coot. I'm not voting for them anyway.

Being a Republican in the mold of every other hypocritical Republican against a person's right to choose how to live is or a woman's right to choose is a really biggie for me.

Now, they should out Lindsay Graham and make him fess up.

And what ever happened to Jeff Gannon and who was he seeing at the White House and who gave him a jounalist pass !!

These Republicans are a nasty bunch of hypocrites

[pbfishtaco]

Where is Mike Rodgers at BlogActive when you need him??

[FLA1]

Considering the Craig and Foley past issues of the Republican party, they will not risk Crist. In any case, it is particularly odd for a Republican with Christian values, to have only been married for less than a year, just after law school. Each Republican VP, comes with his baggage. A tape of Crist kissing a woman isn't going to stop this perception.

Republican "family values" at their best! Adultery is better than homosexuality, as long the person whose marriage you're helping to ruin is of the opposite sex. And this is from people who are fighting to impose ridiculous constitutional amendments to "protect" marriage. Note taken, Mr. Stone and Gov. Crist. I'm still waiting for the other Choo to drop. This story ain't over yet! Where is the tranny hooker tape? Or where is the male masseur whose dick he snorted lines off? I'm sure there's more to this baby here! We just have to wait patiently for such stories to come out of the woodwork and prove once again that all these hypocritical warmongering douchebag Republicans are nothing more the most ordinary Freudian cases of Psych 101 sexual repression. If only they would stop telling everybody else how holy they are and we should be, nobody would care how these bastards obviously don't live up to their bogus "morals."

[tweety1]

You guys act as if ONLY Republicans do these types of things. The Democrats are just as guilty. Only a short time ago Hillary could do no wrong, now you guys want to crucify her. What Hippocrites!!!!!!!

[drkazmd65]

Who care if the guy is hetero or not? I mean - I just care that he is a Republican,...

You could put a known donkey-lover (had a worse word in mind - but self-censored) on a ticket with McCain and it wouldn't make me want to vote for him for President.

[drkazmd65]

Sorry,.. meant to type "and it wouldn't make me want to vote for him "less" for President"

One of these days I really need to learn to proofread before I hit "Post"

[MLM424]

Better to be a donkey lover than an ass. Which side are you on?

[dawlishgal]

It is hard to proofread vertically, at least for me...too bad they don't make a flat-lying horizontal monitor. Or maybe they do.

[OverIt]

I care! And not about his sexuality per se but about his hypocrisy in having a hardline record AGAINST gay rights.

[crl9]

Actually he doesn't have a hard line against gay rights. In fact, once elected Gov., Crist blocked the Florida GOP from funding an anti-gay/anti human family amendment.

[ScandalousCandice]

Do you really have to ask why the republicans are all scared of the g word? It's because most of them are gay. The ones who speak out the most against it are usually guilty of it. God bless gay republican scandals as they fight so hard against gay rights and marriages.

[drkazmd65]

I don't ask 'why' Republicans are scared of gays,... I'm a Liberal and it just don't matter to me as long as whomever it is isn't a friggin' hypocrite about it.

And my point was - he could be the gayest person in the world, or so straight that he nails his wife and/or mistress hourly and it won't influence at least my choice to vote for whomever is running against McCain.

It would warm my Liberal heart though to watch the Republican pundits bloviate IF he were nominated for VP and IF he is outed. That,... would be intertainment,....

[SolomonsJim]

"Who care if the guy is hetero or not? I mean - I just care that he is a Republican,..."

In my opinion, we *should* care about sexual orientation when the person routinely votes against equal rights for GLBT people and spouts rabidly anti-gay comments as an attempt to throw off any suspicions about their sexual orientation. Self-loathing and denial are one thing, but promoting & voting for laws that cause demonstrble harm to gays and lesbians in order that your gay-hating church or party will not look at your life too closely is the rankest of hypocrisy and needs to be exposed wherever it may be found.

[racetoinfinity]

The homophobic republicans care, believe me!

[paulbikes]

Now that is shameful.

What kind of person dosent stand up for themselves, dosent defend who they are? Ludicrous.

[sophistwatch]

You can't fool me. That is Lieberman in drag in that picture.
