Send Charlie Crist Some Back Wax

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 9th, 2010 at 02:00 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Last night on Fox, Charlie Crist said Marco Rubio’s ~$100.00 bill at a Florida salon could have been for back waxing.

I don’t know if he was trying to make a racial statement, which would be keeping with what his campaign has done all along in trying to make Marco Rubio as hispanic as possible, or if he was gay baiting. I do know straight men know very little, if anything, about back waxing, which makes me wonder why that would come off the top of Charlie Crist’s head.

In any event, it was a ridiculous thing to say. His campaign is free falling in the polling. The only thing he has with which to attack Marco Rubio is a credit card statement Crist’s minions improperly took from the Florida GOP’s headquarters.

So let’s help Charlie out.

Here is some back wax at Amazon.com. Charlie Crist’s address is:

Office of Governor Charlie Crist
State of Florida
The Capitol
400 S. Monroe St.
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
(850) 488-7146

Let’s send Charlie some back wax. And if he tries to use the stuff, he’ll at least experience the same pain the voters have been experiencing for the last four years. Full disclosure: this goes to RedState’s Amazon.com store, so we’ll get something for every one you send. But it doesn’t affect your price.

    That said, can we find ORANGE back wax?

  • Castor

    PPP has him down 60 to 28 in the latest polls.
    It would appear that he could come up with facts instead of wax to do something about it,

  • joayn

    At Biz Rate:

    “Unique hair removal treatment for the first-time waxer or the grizzled veteran. Starts with a quick shot of Johnnie Walker to numb the “pain” and when it’s waxing time, some serious tunes will be cranked up before the back-sweater is removed.”

    Doesn’t come in orange, though. BUT, it does say it is sure to attract groupies. Huh.

    Crist said

    I get my haircut for $11 from a guy named Carl the Barber in St. Petersburg, Florida where I grew up. And to me that?s real fiscal conservatism.

    So he flies/drives like 300 miles for an $11 haircut.

    I wonder what it costs for the gubernatorial entourage to perform this miracle of fiscal conservatism?

    I am so sick of these elitist political hacks who take us for rubes. BTW, Charlie, you?re barber is just taking you?re money?.

    Desperation makes people lose rationality, so maybe Charlie needs a reminder: When you find yourself in need of getting out of a deep hole, STOP DIGGING.

    This has been out there for ever! Take Christ out of the closet and be done with it. Sen. Cornyn are you SURE you need to back this guy out of honor?

    Sometimes, Republicans just amaze us.

    Ever since June of 2008 when we started working with Republicans for the first time, and we met our very first Republican friends by becoming Democrats for McCain, and then Democrats for Palin, we?ve been startled at times by how different, culturally and behaviorally, we are from our GOP counterparts. It?s not political policy differences we?re talking about: it?s how we all approach confrontation.

    Republicans let people get away with far more than Democrats do. Some of you out there chalk that up to a mythical ?I?m going to take the high road?, when there?s really no clear set of two separate roads, high or low, visible. Republicans typically lose elections because they?re trying to construct these nonexistent ?high roads?, while Democrats focus on completely and utterly decimating their opponents. Ironically enough, the Clintons lost in 2008 because they ?took the high road? with Dr. Utopia, never hit him on his drug abuse, his shady trip to Pakistan in 1981, and all of his lifelong connections to radicals?whereas Utopia?s hopey-change campaign made up everything it could about Hillary Clinton, including calling the woman and her husband RAAAACISTS over and over again. You know where the ?high road? leads: to ruination.

    Charlie Crist used to frequent a seedy bar in Tampa, Florida called The Green Iguana. This is established fact. Bar regulars, and the owner of the bar, have repeatedly gone on record noting Crist was a longtime patron. It?s a bar where many men visit dolled up in drag, wearing their finest, batting their fake eyelashes for a beer. Crist dragged up as ?Sweet Charlotte, Belle of the South? for many an adventure at The Green Iguana.

    Google it.

    So, we?re stunned Republicans allow Crist to take so many weird hits at Marco Rubio, who is cleaning his Max Factor caked-on clock nine ways to Tuesday, including accusing Rubio of getting ?back waxes?.

    Crist has done lost his mind.

    it’ll probably cause someone to go apeshitspiceygonzo and call the bomb squad.

  • EMT907

    You mean the restaurant and bar down in Ybor?

  • saltlick

    so I sent Crist some KY jelly, if you get my drift.

  • treeofliberty

    And as soon as he said it thought “I’ll see this one again at RS!”

    Funny someone like Crist making these vaguely gay-baiting remarks (I think his full comment went on to say: “I don’t know what you do at a salon when you’re a guy..”) attacking Rubio’s manhood and all.

    Just reeks of desperation.

  • RedBeard

    What I do care about is his political agenda. Cozying up to Obama and promoting a trillion dollar budget black hole is not exactly the heart of a conservative agenda.

    I also care about his increasingly obvious nasty streak, as we see here with the waxing nonsense. Perhaps we should repay him in kind by suggesting that he’s too tall to be an Oompa-loompa, and should stop auditioning.

  • peterschorsch

    In defense of back-waxing.

    Crispy critter will get the idea he’s history easily enough. When I put money into the FL GOP primary, I’ll put it into Marco’s campaign.

  • waincroft

    Crist will sign the unemployment comp bill at the Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce, 2310 Edwards Dr., Ft. Myers tomorrow at 2:00 PM. Bring him some back wax or better yet an I’m Coconuts Over Marco Rubio coconut postcard. This was in response to Donny Deutsch’s comment about Marco being a coconut racial slur. http://www.coconutsformarco.com $10 from each coconut signed goes to Marco’s campaign.

    For some reason, Charlie emailed the director of the COC today looking for someplace to sign the bill. Guess he couldn’t find anyplace else. The director sent me a personal invitation so they are trying to get some people there.

    I sat with Marco at a fundraiser on Pine Island yesterday and he is the real deal! But he confided he is concerned what Charlie will do now that he’s so far down in the polls. We need to support Marco in every way we can.

    Yosemite Sam looks like an absolute genius next to the orange and silver clown from FL

    On first look, all I could thing of was something sick and twisted – “Charlie Loves Marconuts” !

    Then……….. Oh boy………. Then……….

    I heard it in the background.

    That dang annoying bird from the chocolate cereal advert back when I was a kid……… But the voice was replaced by the white-haired guy’s clueless monotone.

    I’m koo koo for Marconuts ! Koo koo for Marconuts ! Koo koo for Marconuts ! Koo koo for Marconuts !

    Arrrrrrrrrrgh !!!

    M A K E — I T — S T O P ! ! ! !

    .. ol Charlie’s bill is from Sun Tan City?

    It was a dumbfounding moment. I rarely watch Greta but happened to have it on TV these few minutes. And I also thought that moment…”oooo, this is RS *GOLD*!” heh.

    The curious leap of Crist’s comment to “real fiscal conservatism” was…laughable, in a very sad sort of way.

    The only thing more sad, if you want to call it that, was Greta appeared either not interested enough, or not wonkish enough to challenge Crist on any of *his* examples of “fiscal conservatism”.
