You’ve already learned about Rick Scott’s absolutely bizarre refusal to debate Charlie Crist because Crist had a fan running at the base of his podium. That’s just totally bonkers behavior, but quite a few insider pundits want to make it seem like Crist was the one behaving strangely:
Which is odder: Crist constant demands for a fan or Scott going this far to deny him from having one?— @jmartNYT
Um. Weird clip from #flgov all because of a fan. The ask seems weird but so does refusal and no show footage is bad http://t.co/…— @chucktodd
Are you kidding me? Have these people never even been to Florida?
That was Wednesday’s weather report for Davie, Florida, home of Broward College, where the debate was held. But seriously, do you even really need to check weather.com to prove a point that Florida’s weather is miserably hot and muggy? And why do we even have to have this discussion at all? It’s a fan. Charlie Crist didn’t ask for a brandy glass filled with 1,000 brown M&Ms before going on stage!
The Rick hit the fan! Let’s hit back and elect Democratic governors!
Voting by mail is convenient, easy, and defeats the best of the GOP’s voter suppression efforts. Sign up here to check eligibility and vote by mail, then get your friends, family, and coworkers to sign up as well.
But when DC gasbags insist that it’s “weird” to want a fan blowing some cool breeze on your neck in the middle of a swamp, someone has to stand up for the right to remain chill. I know you didn’t think that this was a central mission of the progressive blogosphere, my friends, but if we don’t take a stand for all the overheated masses, who will? It’s up to us!
