Charlie Crist: I Asked God To Keep Hurricanes Away From Florida

[Tx4obama]

Town Hall reports that Crist was speaking to a group of real estate agents, and credited prayer notes in the Western Wall in Jerusalem with preventing his state from being hit by hurricanes during his time as governor.

Crist told of how he visited the Wall in 2007, and placed a note saying: "Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie."

"Time goes on -- May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December -- no hurricanes," Crist said. "Thank God."

1. And lots of young men are praying, Dear God, please keep Charlie Crist

away from me.

[NoSheep]

30. I can't spell the laugh I'm having...but I'm crying at the same time. So, however you spell that.

:rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. Who needs a Department of Homeland Security when we've got Charlie Crist

to protect us. Or a U.S. Defense Department for that matter.

[fascisthunter]

3. did that pandering moron really say that?

I'm sure those with a brain down there feel safer now.

[nosmokes]

4. So why didn't the mofo add hunger, crime, disease, premature death,

disabilities, divorce, violence, child abuse, sex abuse and all the rest of humanity's ills to the list?

I hate a lying motherfucker.

[Ian David]

5. Plenty of difficulties, just no hurricanes. Charlie Crist can thank the Jewish god. n/t

[SpiralHawk]

9. Good old Yahweh - one of the MANY Elohim, according to the Bible

who make up the so-called One God

It's a Mystery!

[Ian David]

10. Actually, the bible acknowledged that there were other gods. Just not worthy of worship.

In fact, someone once said there was one point where yahweh admitted being defeated in battle by another god, but I have been too lazy to google it.

[eShirl]

29. now I'm going to have to try to find that in "Asimov's Guide to the Bible."

(Yes, Isaac Asimov.)

[Ian David]

31. I have that book too! n/t

[Cass]

6. Uh, he's still Governor, isn't he?

Charlie shouldn't count his chickens before they hatch - his term is not yet over.

[malaise]

7. Is Charlie that simple?

He'd better watch the Atlantic/Caribbean/Gulf carefully for the next two months.

[peekaloo]

32. Typical of him. Let someone else do the real work and he coasts

on the adulation.

[boobooday]

8. Dear God, it's me, Charlie

"other difficulties"?

Guess God was only half-listening.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. You know, he must be dying to put a letter "h" in his last name

[lpbk2713]

12. See, I knew there was a trick to it.

And all it took was stuffing a piece of paper in a crack in a wall, huh?

Dayum now we can do away with the National Hurricane Center
and put all their budget money back in the big pot because
they are just not needed any more. Charlie's the man. He's
got it all worked out. Just book him on a flight to Jerusalem
every year and we'll be fine.




:eyes:
:sarcasm:

[Politicalboi]

26. No the paper is how

He is going to fix the levees. Each one with a prayer on them just to be sure. And if it does bust, you'll at least have something to read as your floating down stream.

[Mz Pip]

13. Now Floridians will know who to blame for the

next hurricane. It's all Charlie's fault because he didn't pray hard enough.

[ddeclue]

19. As someone who lives in Orlando.... I want to know then,...

why Charlie prayed for Charley Frances and Jeanne to hit Orlando in 2004?



:eyes:

[FSogol]

14. In junior high school, I asked God to put cheerleaders in my path.

:shrug:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

15. I prayed to God that he stop making hurricanes and find something

better to do like hiding any evidence of the twentieth century... sort of like the dinosaur bone prank he pulled but in reverse.

[Catch22Dem]

16. "Help me Jesus. Help me Tom Cruise. Help me Oprah Winfrey. Help me Jewish God. Help me Allah"

[sakabatou]

17. Yeah, that'd work

:puke:

[ddeclue]

18. The Force is strong with this one...

[Cetacea]

20. Well, god didn't keep the stimulus money away from Florida

I Florida ranks 49th. Charlie is going to make a run for the presidency. He's counting on the economy being the same or worse. Strange, as he was one of the only repubs to support the stimulus package.

[lib2DaBone]

21. Maybe he could ask Gawd to give back the $2.2 Billion in tax hikes he pushed through

[RufusTFirefly]

22. Anything to draw attention away from his being a closeted hypocrite n/t

[KamaAina]

23. No hurricanes in Florida in December?

Behold the power of Crist! :sarcasm:

[Control-Z]

24. Well I know that makes ME feel a whole lot better.

Floridians ought to be grateful. Wow. Thank you, Charlie.

Do I need this? :sarcasm:

[gateley]

25. Is he the orange guy who Obama referred to as "a person of color"?

:rofl:

[Tx4obama]

27. The thing that bothers me the most about this is...

The prayer notes that are put in the Western Wall in Jerusalem are supposed to be private and not talked about.
Crist talking about his written prayer is just wrong!

[eShirl]

28. God: "What have you done for me lately, Charlie?"

[DU GrovelBot]

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our third quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[peekaloo]

34. Is there a wall in Florida somewhere where we can put in notes for

Charlie? Asking HIM to DO something positive for the state of Florida rather than for his own career?
