This Won't Help With Teabagger Base !


Florida's governor, Charlie Crist (pictured), would like to be the Republican Party's nominee for the U.S. Senate. His problem is that the right-wing base of the party doesn't think he's sufficiently nutty enough for them. I doubt if this screw-up will help him much with the teabagger-fundie crowd.

On the public call-in line to the Florida governor's office, there is a recording of Governor Crist promoting FloridaKidCare. He urges the parents of uninsured children to call the toll-free line to see how they could qualify their children for insurance.

That sounds good, except when you call the number given by Crist the caller is directed to a second number. That second number is answered by a woman's voice saying, "Hey there sexy guys." It goes on to say that for only $2.99 a minute a very graphic conversation can be had with a woman.

It seems that the governor had transposed a couple of numbers in the phone number he gave out, and that transposition directed callers to a phone sex line. The governor's office says the mistake has now been corrected.

Shouldn't someone in the governor's office be checking this sort of thing?
