Governor Charlie Crist gets a wife: Nobody knew..

I found this amusing out of Americablog: Governor Crist is married?! For anybody not up to date with their politics, Charlie Crist is one of the GOP's most popular gay allegedly gay politicians. From Express Gay News 10/06:

Max Linn, the Reform Party candidate for governor, went on an Orlando radio show in September and blurted it out loud: He said he would “swear on a stack of Bibles that Crist is gay.” Linn followed up that appearance by going on WFTL radio on Oct. 11, National Coming Out Day, and urging Crist to come out of the closet.

But in January 05, then Attorney General Crist was on a talk-radio show in Miami where he tripped all over himself with the "gay debate" by saying:

When the single 48-year-old was asked, "Are you a homo?" by the announcer, Crist responded, "No, man. No. I love women. I mean, they're wonderful,'' before going on to suggest that he's very blessed for having, uh, something special that helps him to attract the opposite sex.

Crist left the radio station and then called from his cell phone only moments later to double-check and clarify that he really truly was not gay...

And then there's that weird Gay Republican story about Jason Wetherington who claims to have carried a long term relationship with both Charlie Crist and Mark Foley

Nothing weirdly wrong with any of that...really. To clarify, Charlie Crist was actually married once; for seven months. But now he's governor of Florida and he's on the short-list for John McCain's Pick of the Veep slot and he's gotta "Hetero It Up" a wee-bit. Enter Governor Crist and his "new" beard wife..."Whats-Her-Name" at last weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner after-party photos:

This is what we need in an election! We can always hope the Republicans win in November and we'll have catapulted the first Gay Man into the Vice President's seat in American history.
