How come Palin was introduced by a hack redneck sherriff in Florida?

[speedoo]

Was Governor Charlie Crist, that great supporter of McCain unavailable? Has Charlie thrown McCain under the bus already?

1. hopefully he's at least that smart

[NightWatcher]

2. they just want sacraficial stooges. the Gov would never say "hussein"

they just needed someone who is disposable to them and the skinhead fit the bill

[muntrv]

3. 'Cuz Palin is a hack redneck.

[speedoo]

5. She certainly is.

Although I know a bunch of rednecks that are a whole lot better than her.

4. Psycho Sarah only likes ignorant men with big guns. ;)

6. When in Rome...

or Estero, FL...

7. "hack redneck"?

you mean "the base".

[Kermitt Gribble]

8. Hack rednecks are the face of the repuke party.

Plus, Charlie is busy figuring out how to get out of this engagement mess, now that he's not the veep candidate.

9. Palin is being sent to the reddest of places - where only those types hang out.

She isn't holding rallies in places where she hopes to change minds. She is playing defense and desperately trying to hold onto the repuke base. She is extreme and so is her audience.

10. Ok, since I live in Lee County, and Sheriff Scott is my current Sheriff, he is NOT a redneck,

And neither is the county. It's actually a quite popular retirement county in SW Florida. Big population. No farms. Not rural.

Scott is not a redneck.

He's just a fuckup political hack Republican. It's obvious he has aspirations for higher office. This guy is constantly grandstanding. He does a weekly "Scumbag of the week" radio show. His claim to fame is busting like a 1000 pot houses in one suburban city of the County (lehigh acres) which has basically done nothing except collect a bunch of fines for the county.

16. Thanks for the correction.

I did not really think he was a redneck, totally does not act like one. But I couldn't think of a better adjective.

11. that sheriff is ALSO a LOG CABIN reTHUGlican

Not only is he being investigated by the Feds and will probably lose his job, he was outed by the local Dem Gay Dolphin Dems as a S&M queen and member of the local log cabin reTHUGS

watch the video of him again and you will see he is a huge queen

[chupacabranation]

12. Oh I saw that the first time. :) n/t

[gaiilonfong]

15. all the gay blogs here in Florida lit up with people who knew him

when it was first reported here on TV.

[chupacabranation]

19. Never understood the Log-Cabin Republicans bit. Really never did. n/t

[RollWithIt]

13. Any good links to that info?

Just wondering, since I know several that work for the Sheriff's department. They'd get a chuckle out of it.

[speedoo]

18. Yeah, his mannerisms did not exactly jibe with his macho appearance.

Uniform and all.

[Loge23]

14. In uniform, a public employee

The public pays this guy, does it not?
Here he is, in uniform, helping to incite the masses.
He is entitled to his opinions, even as he would no doubt do his best to silence others.
But, in uniform? Was he on duty?
He's a disgrace.

[Bucky]

17. I imagine she does a few of these each day. It's good tactics to use local pols

Throwing someone under the bus is when you blame them or leave them to take the blame. All Crist is doing is keeping the toxic two at arm's length. Trust me, when Dems have a bad year, local Democratic officials do the same thing.
