from the Palm Beach Post: http://www.postonpolitics.com/2012/09/man-hug-update-charlie-crist-meets-fort-pierce-pizza-guy-gets-the-obama-treatment/
Former Gov. Charlie Crist was serious about wanting to meet presidential man-hug champion Scott Van Duzer.
A few hours after expressing a desire to meet the Fort Pierce pizza parlor owner who hugged and lifted President Obama on Sunday, Crist showed up at Van Duzers business this afternoon and, according to Van Duzer, said You know what Im here for.
Van Duzer obliged by lifting Crist off the floor.
Nothing surprises me any more after the president walked in, Van Duzer said. He said it was his first time meeting Crist, although he said Crist had helped his non-profit Van Duzer Foundation in 2009 by promoting Be A Hero Day to promote blood donations.

(33,688 posts)but Charlie Crist seems like a basically decent sort of a duck. He didn't leave the Repukes, the Repukes left him much as happened to all of the decent Republicans up here in Minnesota, who have all literally been drummed out of the party by the jeebus crazies.
And Van Duzer is one big dude!

(40,416 posts)The Republics orchestrate things and keep their cards close to their chest. Then, there's this pizza guy who picks up the President of the United States. It hits the Intertubes and it goes viral. The fucking Republics try a boycott and it doesn't work. The guy's a huge celebrity. A former governor visits to buy pizza and get picked up, literally and politically.
This is beautiful shit.

(12,233 posts)silly, but is a good sport. Its amazing how someone becomes semi-famous by just coming in contact with the President.. At least this Republican isn't a "Joe the Plumber" type.
