Another Howler

Yesterday I wrote about the UN naming Iran to a council that promotes women's rights. It seemed to me that nothing could be more absurd. Then today I heard Charley Crist announce that his switch to an independent candidacy in the Florida Senate race had nothing to do with him but was a reflection of where the country and the state (of Florida) are. I wonder......did he come up with that howler on his own? When he was way behind in the primary polls, Crist gambled on a way to get himself in office and keep his power, but it was due to the country? No, it was due to his own selfish interests. When he does not respect the electorate enough to allow the people to choose the nominee of his party, it is absurd to blame the move on the state of the country.
