Our great experiment of self governing ruined by a fan. We were so close. It has become too easy for a political comedian these days.

Well, Rick Scott is a douchebag is pretty much all I can figure out with "what the hell this is about", but I could have told you that before I watched the video. It appears that much of the audience feels the same way.
Crist - seriously - should have had them take the fan away and endured the miserable shitty Florida weather, though. It would have made Scott look even smaller than he is.

Leave it to Charlie Crist to get blown by a fan behind the podium.

Did Crist get to keep the fan?

Crist is circulating an email that he labeled #fangate
And then there's the twitter site, @CCristFan
Crist aka Tanman, doesn't like to sweat.

What's the story. We already knew that Rick Scott has no fans.
P.S. #3 Oh, Brad!

So let me get this straight: Scott's "explanation" for not appearing was that waiting for his opponent, Crist, to appear onstage and be ready... which he already had, in front of the live audience and TV cameras...
Bald-faced lying seems to be a such a way of life for Scott, he just can't stop himself, even when the deceit is patently obvious to all. But then, it's not like we should expect different from the man whose hospital corporation was convicted of the then-largest fraud in US history (and from which he still walked away personally with tens of millions in cash and stocks).

Only in Florida (and perhaps Texas, Alaska, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia - ok, pretty much any Red State, and a good many others - New York? - besides), could a man such as Scott become governor, instead of serving time with the many, whom men such as he, gleefully imprison for far lesser crimes.
